Browse property in First Avenue

First Avenue runs through the residential heart of Payneham South (postcode 5070), an area that grew from the large, subdivided blocks laid out by Edward Castres Gwynne in the 1880s and later filled with homes dating from the early‑1900s when trams and buses first arrived. The street’s streetscape is characterised by modest, period‑era houses that reflect the suburb’s gradual shift from market gardens to a settled neighbourhood.

Public‑transport links established in the early twentieth century still serve the corridor, providing easy access to nearby amenities such as Payneham Cemetery (0.3 km), Trinity Gardens School (0.5 km), Payneham Oval and Koster Park (both about 0.7 km). The proximity to surrounding suburbs, including Payneham, Trinity Gardens and Firle, adds further shopping, recreation and community options within a short walk or bus ride.
