Overview

Cavan lies north of Adelaide within the City of Salisbury, a residential enclave that grew from the historic Dry Creek district. The suburb’s name derives from the 1855 Cavan Arms hotel, reflecting its Irish‑settler roots, and the area once hosted the Cross Keys Hotel (1849) and a Northfield railway station that operated from 1914 until 1987. Today Cavan offers a blend of housing built around these early landmarks, providing easy access to surrounding suburbs.

Residents benefit from nearby green spaces such as Elder Smith Oval and Pooraka Unity Park, with the Dry Creek waterway adding a natural backdrop. Nearby schools include Pooraka Primary School and Maple Leaf School at Mawson Lakes, while the former Cavan and Pooraka railway stations mark the historic transport corridor.
