Lockleys suburb profile

Lockleys is an inner-west Adelaide suburb in the City of West Torrens, set along the River Torrens and the Torrens Linear Park. Its tree-lined streets are anchored by single-storey post-war brick and weatherboard homes, with pockets of modern infill and townhouses, and a residential calm that suits young families, established households and downsizers.

The suburb also offers convenient bus services and road links for journeys to the city, airport and nearby beaches.
