About Frewville
Frewville is a small, well-established suburb located approximately 3 kilometres south-east of the Adelaide CBD, within the City of Burnside local government area. With a population of 896 and covering less than 0.3 square kilometres, it is one of Adelaide's more compact inner suburban localities. The suburb was established in 1854 and takes its name from early settler James Frew, with a distinctive triangular layout bounded by Flemington Street to the north, Conyngham Street to the east, and Glen Osmond Road to the south-west. Median incomes in the area reflect the comfortable, middle-class character of the surrounding Burnside suburbs.
Frewville's location on the inner south-eastern fringe of Adelaide places it within easy reach of the CBD by car or bus via Glen Osmond Road, one of Adelaide's main arterial roads. The suburb neighbours well-regarded areas including Fullarton, Glenside, and Glenunga, and benefits from their established amenities including local shops, cafes, schools, and parklands. The quiet, leafy streetscapes of the surrounding Burnside council area, combined with proximity to city services, make Frewville attractive to professionals and families seeking inner suburban living with a neighbourhood feel.
