About Findon
Welcome to Findon
Findon sits around eight kilometres north-west of Adelaide's CBD, a settled residential suburb tucked between the western parklands corridor and the coast. It's the kind of place that rarely makes headlines but quietly delivers on the fundamentals: solid brick homes, wide streets, easy access to the city and the beach, and a community that skews toward families and long-term owners rather than transient renters.
With a population of just under 7,000 and a median age of 37, Findon has the profile of an established, middle-Adelaide suburb — not flashy, but firmly in demand. It suits buyers who want space and a backyard within a realistic commute of the city, and who don't mind a suburb that's more about substance than sizzle.
Lifestyle & dining
Findon's day-to-day life revolves around its residential streets and the everyday amenity of neighbouring strips rather than a single glamorous main road. It's a practical, family-oriented pocket of the western suburbs, with cafes, takeaway and services spread through Findon itself and spilling into nearby Kidman Park and Flinders Park. The coast at Grange and Henley Beach is only a short drive away, giving residents easy weekend access to the sand without living in the thick of the beachside crowds and premiums.
Shopping
For bigger shopping trips, residents lean on the well-known Findon Shopping Centre precinct and the broader retail strip along Findon Road, one of the suburb's key arteries linking it to Woodville South and the coast. Everyday grocery runs, specialty stores and services are close at hand, while larger centres in the surrounding western suburbs cover anything not available locally.
Getting around
Findon Road and Grange Road are the suburb's main arteries, feeding traffic efficiently toward the city, the coast and the northern and southern arterial routes. Findon doesn't have its own train station, so most residents rely on regular bus services along these corridors, or a short drive to connecting rail options in nearby suburbs. The CBD commute is straightforward by car, generally well under 20 minutes outside peak periods, which is a big part of the suburb's appeal for city workers who want a bit more land for their money.
Schools & families
Education is well catered for locally, with Findon High School and Nazareth Catholic College's Findon Campus both based in the suburb, giving families public and Catholic options without needing to leave the area. Combined with nearby options in Fulham Gardens and Beverley, this makes Findon a genuine drawcard for families wanting settled, established schooling choices close to home.
Housing & architecture
The housing stock reflects Findon's mid-century development history: solid brick bungalows and post-war homes on generous blocks dominate, though there's been a steady trickle of newer townhouses and infill development in recent years. Current listings show the suburb is still overwhelmingly house-driven, at 75% of stock, with apartments and units making up 10%, townhouses 8% and vacant land the remaining 7% — so buyers chasing a classic quarter-acre feel will find plenty of options, alongside a smaller but growing pool of lower-maintenance alternatives.
The property market
Findon's numbers tell the story of a suburb that has moved solidly upward. The median house price sits at $973k after growth of 10.3%, a strong result that reflects buyer appetite for its combination of land size, city proximity and school access. Units and apartments offer a notably more accessible entry point at a median of $586k, appealing to first-home buyers or downsizers who want the location without the house-sized price tag. Median rent of $670 a week points to solid demand from tenants too, reinforcing Findon's position as a suburb with strong fundamentals on both the ownership and rental sides, and one that continues to draw comparisons with neighbours like Flinders Park, Kidman Park and Fulham Gardens for buyers weighing up the western suburbs.
