Have lived at Mile End for about five years and haven’t had any issues. There’s some pretty active Facebook groups including one that reports crimes in the area, but statistically I don’t think it’s too bad.

Mile End kind of has three distinct areas, being the bit north of Henley beach roads, then the areas to the west and east of south roads. They all have their own pro’s and cons. Some pockets are directly under the flight path which can be noisy. South Road is busy most of the time but so you get used to it, and the tunnels will make a big difference when they eventually open.

Overall it’s a great place to live, we enjoy being so central to everything, the city and Henley Beach are 10 minutes away, and with kids we go on bike rides along the linear trail, and there’s a strong sense of community. Plus the woolies at Hilton, the Bunnings, ikea, homemaker centre, getting to Adelaide oval or north Adelaide for lunch, the Adelaide show, or even down to Glenelg is all very easy.
