About Daw Park
Daw Park is an established inner-southern suburb of Adelaide, located approximately 8 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Mitcham. It covers just over one square kilometre and is home to around 2,700 residents, making it one of the more densely populated localities in its council area. The suburb is best known for being home to Repatriation General Hospital (now part of the Repat Health Precinct), a landmark that has shaped its character for decades. The streetscape features a mix of post-war bungalows, modern infill townhouses, and leafy residential streets typical of Adelaide's southern suburbs.
Daw Park offers residents excellent connectivity to Adelaide's CBD via Goodwood Road and Springbank Road corridors, with multiple bus routes providing easy access. Local amenities include parks, small neighbourhood shops, and proximity to the Westfield Marion and Pasadena Greenways shopping centres a short drive away. The suburb attracts a multicultural and mixed-age population, reflected in its diverse ancestries including strong Greek, Italian, and South Asian communities. With a median household income above the Adelaide average and growing apartment development, Daw Park is increasingly appealing to young families and professionals seeking affordable proximity to the city.
