About Grange

Grange is a beachside suburb on Adelaide's western coastal fringe, located approximately 12 kilometres north-west of the CBD within the City of Charles Sturt. With a population of 6,143 and a median age of 49, it is one of Adelaide's more mature and established seaside communities, home to long-term residents and owner-occupiers who value its relaxed coastal character. Median household incomes are above average at around $89,000 per year, reflecting the suburb's desirable Gulf St Vincent frontage and well-maintained housing stock.

The suburb takes its name from Grange Beach, a popular stretch of coastline ideal for swimming, cycling along the Esplanade, and evening strolls at sunset. Grange is well-connected to Adelaide's CBD via the Grange railway line, and residents enjoy proximity to the dining and shopping precinct at nearby Henley Beach. With a rich European heritage — particularly English, Italian, and Greek roots — and a quiet, neighbourhood-focused character, Grange appeals to families, retirees, and those who prize a coastal lifestyle within easy reach of the city.

Grange falls under postcode 5022 and is governed by Charles Sturt Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Colton electorate.
