Overview

Northfield is a historic Adelaide suburb whose name first appeared in an 1852 newspaper notice. The area grew around the former Northfield railway line and the prison‑linked Stockade quarry, giving the neighbourhood a mix of modest homes and larger properties that reflect its industrial past. Families benefit from long‑standing institutions such as Northfield Primary School (established 1861) and nearby secondary options including Roma Mitchell and Cedar College, while parks like Stockade Botanical Park and L J Lewis Reserve provide open space for recreation and local football clubs.

Although passenger trains ceased service in 1987, the suburb remains well connected by road, sitting close to the Adelaide‑Gepps Cross corridor and a network of schools, the Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre, and several correctional facilities that form a distinct employment hub. The proximity of sporting venues, from the State Centre for Football to the Adelaide Super‑Drome, adds a vibrant, active lifestyle for residents.
