When Colonel William Light planned Adelaide’s handsome streets in the 1830s, he couldn’t have imagined the diverse stock of houses, apartments and townhouses that is part of the city today.  Brimming with urban action yet with some beguiling, tranquil corners, downtown Adelaide has it all.

Unlike Melbourne and Sydney, Adelaide grew steadily, evolving around well-planned streets and squares. The east end was historically affluent: here you’ll find elegant two-storey brick terrace houses, classy single-fronted stone cottages and stylish new townhouses.
