Overview

Located about 10 kilometres south‑west of Adelaide’s centre, Marion began as a rural village on the Sturt River in 1838 and has grown into a leafy suburb with a distinctive housing mix. The original “austerity” homes, simple three‑ and four‑bedroom dwellings on quarter‑acre blocks built for the South Australian Housing Trust, still line many streets, while newer infill projects are adding two‑ and three‑unit residences where larger lots once stood, offering a blend of established and contemporary living.

Residents enjoy extensive green space, including the large sporting complex off Sturt Road, numerous parks such as Norfolk Road and Tilley Crescent, and the Sturt River Linear Park trail. Education options range from the co‑educational Westminster School to Marion Primary School, and community facilities feature bowling clubs, an RSL club and the South Australia Aquatic and Leisure Centre. Marion railway station provides quick rail links to Adelaide city and Noarlunga, reinforcing the suburb’s easy‑going yet well‑connected lifestyle.
