8/2 Fern Avenue

8/2 Fern Avenue is a unit located in the suburb of Lockleys. It offers a low‑rise, apartment‑style residence within the inner western part of Adelaide.

The unit provides two bedrooms and one bathroom, making it suitable for small families or couples. Its layout is designed for comfortable living within a compact footprint.

The former Windsor Theatre is approximately 0.4 km from the unit, a short walking distance. This historic cinema site adds cultural interest to the neighbourhood.

Kooyonga Golf Club is about 1 km away, offering golfing opportunities. The area also features parks such as Kidman Park Playing Fields within a similar distance.

Before European settlement, the Kaurna people inhabited the region. Later, the suburb was known for its fertile market gardens, flood‑mitigation works on the River Torrens, and a historic horse‑racing course owned by Charles Brown Fisher and later used by the Lockleys Stables.

According to Australian Bureau of Statistics data from May 2021, Adelaide’s western suburbs, including Lockleys, recorded the lowest unemployment rate in South Australia. This reflects a relatively strong local labour market.

Lockleys falls within the City of West Torrens local government area. It is split between the South Australian House of Assembly districts of Colton and West Torrens, and federally part of the Division of Hindmarsh.
