Suburb profile
Willunga Hill is a welcoming smaller community in Alexandrina, with a settled community character. Close enough to visit the capital for a day trip, yet far enough away to keep a distinctly local pace. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with family life visible on every street.
The town centre holds its own, with enough local flavour to make staying close to home appealing. The market sits in a sensible middle ground: not cheap, but fair value for the area.
A trickle of new development is refreshing selected pockets without changing the overall feel.
