Browse property in Orkney Avenue

Orkney Avenue sits in the heart of Marion, a suburb laid out by Colonel William Light in 1838 and bounded by Oaklands Road, Marion Road, Sturt Road and Finniss Street. The streetscape is dominated by modest 3‑ and 4‑bedroom “austerity” homes on quarter‑acre blocks, built of double‑brick or brick‑Mount Gambier stone with tiled roofs, many of which are now complemented by newer infill dwellings. Mature gardens, lawns and trees added by long‑standing residents give the avenue a leafy, family‑friendly feel.

The avenue enjoys excellent transport links, lying a short walk from Marion railway station (≈0.8 km) that provides direct north‑south rail to Adelaide’s centre and Noarlunga. Families benefit from nearby schools, Marion Primary (≈0.3 km) and Westminster School (≈0.4 km), and leisure options such as the Marion Hotel (≈0.5 km), the large sporting complex off Sturt Road, the Sturt River Linear Park trail and the City of Marion Swimming Centre within a kilometre. These amenities, together with the local RSL club on Norfolk Road, create a well‑served, convenient neighbourhood for residents of Orkney Avenue.
