  • Excellent transport
What Edinburgh North is known for: Excellent transport

Suburb profile

Edinburgh North is a welcoming smaller community in Playford Council, with a settled community character. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here, with plenty of residents in steady employment.

Open space is thinner than in many comparable suburbs, so residents often travel a little further for a longer park day. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here, with buses and trains covering longer trips across the wider area. Housing sits in the middle of the local market: neither cheap nor premium.

Reported crime has been falling recently. A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
