West Lakes.

A stunning residential community constructed on recovered land during the 1970s, West Lakes is Adelaide’s suburb with it all.

Bordering several suburbs including Port Adelaide, Royal Park, West Lakes Shores and Tennyson, West Lakes is perfectly located for those wanting a quiet, waterside lifestyle close to the city. Centred around Delfin Island, much of the suburb takes advantage of its prime lakeside setting, with many of the area’s more exclusive waterfront residences overlooking the lake and its many activities; rowing, kayaking and abundant fishing are major drawcards for active families.

A superb community by the sea, the wide streets and calm cul-de-sacs give way to large gardens and parks scattered around the suburb. With a good blend of generously sized homes, West Lakes is the perfect answer to a sought-after coastal lifestyle with an affordable price tag.

Formerly home to South Australian football at the once-iconic AAMI Stadium (now redeveloped into a thriving residential precinct), the area continues to evolve with new amenities and modern streetscapes enhancing the appeal. Nearby Westfield West Lakes means a trip to the shops is never a battle. The family-friendly vibe of West Lakes and its surrounding suburbs is infectious. Take up the locals’ routine of a Saturday morning coffee by the water on Brebner Drive followed by a stroll on Tennyson Beach just across the lake.

A short drive up to Semaphore Beach will have you and the kids entertained for hours. With the summertime events of the Semaphore Twilight Markets and Street Fair, as well as a charming Coney Island-style amusement park, it’s as though the entire area is on permanent holiday.
