Question 1

Is Wingfield a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Wingfield is an industrial suburb in Adelaide’s north west with large warehousing, distribution yards and manufacturing sites beside the Port River and Dry Creek corridors. The residential footprint is small, made up of modest postwar houses and workers cottages tucked away from the main industrial precincts, so daily life tends to revolve around shift patterns and commercial activity rather than a village atmosphere. Businesses value Wingfield for direct road links to the port and northern motorways, while everyday shops, schools and cafés are found in neighbouring suburbs such as Regency Park and Kilburn.

Families are prominent in the community, with couple families with children at 38.5%, one-parent families 31.2% and couple families without children 27.5%. The suburb has 440 residents, a median age of 47 and a median total household income of $1,045 a week (roughly $54,340 a year). Most homes are owner-occupied, about two-thirds (67.3%) owned outright (41.7%) or with a mortgage (25.6%), and around one in three (32.8%) are rented. Wingfield Reserve hosts the Sidewinders junior motorcycle speedway, and the Cormack Road level crossing is currently the subject of a state and federal planning study. Whether Wingfield suits you will come down to how you feel about living in a predominantly industrial area with a small, settled residential community.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Wingfield?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Wingfield to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. Because of that, and with only the suburb's median household income at the last Census ($1,045 a week) available, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Wingfield compared with local incomes.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Wingfield a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Wingfield fell 10.9% over the past 12 months, a sharp drop in the capital value of houses during that period.

That 10.9% movement is the capital-growth picture for houses, so if capital gain is your priority it is the figure to weigh. Whether that makes Wingfield a suitable investment for you depends on your own goals and circumstances and on any other figures you choose to consider.
