About Clearview

Clearview is a compact inner-northern suburb of Adelaide located 8 kilometres from the city centre in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. With approximately 4,300 residents, this rectangular suburb was developed in the 1950s on former almond orchards. The name reflects its elevated position with clear views to Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Plains—the high ground offered unobstructed sightlines when the area was first subdivided in 1922.

Most homes date from the post-war "austerity" era, though increasing demolitions have brought modern three-bedroom homes attractive to young families. The suburb enjoys excellent bus connections to the city and is conveniently located near Northpark Shopping Centre and amenities. Parks include St Albans Reserve with sporting facilities and Folland Park with remnant native vegetation. Clearview attracts young professionals and first-home buyers who value affordability, proximity to the city, and an established neighbourhood character.

Clearview falls under postcode 5085 and is governed by Port Adelaide Enfield Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Enfield electorate.
