About Kingswood
Kingswood is a quiet, leafy suburb in Adelaide's inner south, approximately 4 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Mitcham. With a population of 2,554 at the 2021 census across just over one square kilometre, it is a compact and well-established residential enclave. The suburb has a notably mature demographic profile — the median age is 49 years according to census extended data — reflecting its appeal to retirees and longer-term residents, alongside established families. The median tax income of around 54,000 dollars per year and strong owner-occupier rates speak to its stable, affluent character.
Wide tree-lined streets and a mix of period homes from the 1950s and 1960s alongside larger heritage properties give Kingswood a calm, garden-suburb atmosphere. The suburb is served by a number of well-regarded schools including Mitcham Girls High School, St Joseph's School Kingswood, Scotch College Adelaide, and Mercedes College in the surrounding area. Local amenities include Kingswood Oval for sport and recreation, and the suburb's proximity to the Mitcham shopping precinct and Unley Road provides easy access to cafes and retail. Public transport connections make commuting to the Adelaide CBD straightforward for residents.
Kingswood falls under postcode 5062 and is governed by Mitcham Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Unley electorate.
