About Medindie
Medindie is a prestigious inner-northern suburb of Adelaide, located just north of the Adelaide Park Lands and adjacent to North Adelaide, within the Town of Walkerville local government area. The suburb had a population of 1,175 at the 2021 census and is known for its exceptional real estate values, regularly recording some of South Australia's highest median sale prices. Grand Victorian-era mansions, heritage homes and leafy, wide avenues define the streetscape, giving Medindie a refined, almost estate-like character. Its boundaries are formed by Robe Terrace to the south, Northcote Terrace to the east, Nottage Terrace to the north and Main North Road to the north-west.

Residents are a short drive or walk from the vibrant dining and shopping precincts of O'Connell Street in North Adelaide and the Adelaide CBD.
