Suburb profile
Hazelwood Park is a well-connected smaller community in Burnside with everyday amenities close at hand. Sitting close to the city centre, it is easy to dip into neighbouring suburbs for work, dining and events. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with family life visible on every street.
Daily life is practical and well connected, with the city and nearby suburbs easy to tap into. There is enough green space nearby for walks, picnics and after-school play. Public transport links make it easy to move between neighbouring suburbs without relying on the car.
Property is in demand, reflecting the appeal of living in a place people actively choose. Active development is adding new homes and refreshed pockets throughout the suburb.
On the desirability index, the suburb sits around average overall, mainly because local dining and lifestyle amenities and growth momentum lag similar metro suburbs, despite relative strength in community and employment and safety.
