Overview

Araluen sits on the western fringe of Alice Springs, on the traditional country of the Arrernte people. Its name, an Aboriginal word meaning “place of waterlilies,” reflects the area’s link to the landscape, while the suburb’s layout grew from the historic Connellan property that once honoured the pioneer’s parents. Residents enjoy a relaxed lifestyle within walking distance of the Araluen Cultural Precinct, home to the Araluen Arts Centre, the Museum of Central Australia and the Strehlow Research Centre, providing a vibrant arts and heritage hub.

A network of nearby green spaces, including Walter Forrester Park, Frank Mcellister Community Park and Westland Park, offers easy recreation, and families benefit from the proximity of Araluen Christian College and Bradshaw Primary School. The mix of housing sits alongside these amenities and the short 1‑kilometre link to central Alice Springs, ensuring convenient access to town services and transport routes.
