Westbourne Park suburb profile
Westbourne Park is an established inner-southern Adelaide suburb characterised by tree-lined streets and a low-rise, domestic streetscape. Housing is largely single-storey brick and weatherboard cottages and bungalows from the early to mid 20th century, with pockets of contemporary infill and low-rise units, making it popular with families, downsizers and professionals. Local life revolves around quiet residential streets, mature gardens, neighbourhood parks and small shopping nodes, while regular public transport and arterial roads provide straightforward connections to the city and the southern suburbs. The overall feel is settled and residential rather than commercial or high-rise.
