About Ingle Farm

Ingle Farm is an established residential suburb 12 kilometres northeast of Adelaide's CBD in the City of Salisbury. Home to approximately 9,500 residents, this suburb was developed primarily as a South Australian Housing Trust estate from 1965, creating a neat grid of streets at the base of the Mount Lofty Ranges foothills. The community has matured into a diverse, multicultural neighbourhood with strong local amenities.

Life in Ingle Farm centres on the well-equipped shopping centre at Montague and Walkleys Roads, offering retail, medical, aged care, and community services. The Ingle Farm Sporting Club at Rowe Park provides football, cricket, and netball facilities, while three primary schools serve local families. The suburb attracts working families and migrants seeking affordable housing, established infrastructure, and excellent public transport connections via the O-Bahn busway to the CBD.

Ingle Farm falls under postcode 5098 and is governed by Salisbury Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Florey electorate.
