Rundle St, Adelaide (CBD), SA 5000

Rundle Street is all about lifestyle, with a range of cafés, bars, restaurants and pubs. It offers great coffee, and some lovely shops with fashion, homewares and jewellery. The area is very popular with the young and hip.

Close to Adelaide University and next door to the CBD, the area is frequented by students and young professionals both day and night.

There are a number of reasonably new apartment blocks around Rundle Street. Some of the apartments offer sweeping views across the River Torrens and parklands to the north of the city and the Adelaide Hills to the east.

Noise levels here can of course be high due to the traffic, general atmosphere and live music, but most apartments are designed to filter out the noise.

It all happens on the East End!! Home to Rundle Street, one of Adelaide’s most famous food and wine strips, this is where you need to be for the instant city life.

Apartment blocks abound along Grenfell Street and the small streets tucked in behind Rundle Street like Charlick Street, Ebenezer Place and Union Street. Parking can be a real challenge for any visiting friends, but the area is very well-serviced by taxis and buses.

Close to two of the State’s three main universities, the suburb attracts a number of students at the coffee bars during the day and to party at night.

On the edge of Adelaide’s CBD, the East End is just a casual stroll to the city’s major business and shopping district. The East End is also flanked by parkland and the Botanic Gardens, so is perfect for catching some fresh air and quiet time away from the busy vibe of Rundle Street.

The Royal Adelaide Hospital is also just next door. Highly convenient if you need urgent healthcare, but this does have the downside of some rather unsavoury characters at times.

Overall, a fabulous location if you are looking to be in the heart of Adelaide.
