About Hilton

Hilton is a compact inner-western suburb of Adelaide, located approximately 5 kilometres south-west of the city centre within the City of West Torrens council area. With a population of 908 residents in just 0.37 square kilometres, it is one of Adelaide's more densely settled inner suburbs, characterised by post-war brick homes, established gardens, and a median household income of around $44,800. The suburb's small footprint and central location have made it a practical choice for renters and working families seeking affordable access to the city.

Hilton is well-connected to Adelaide's CBD via the Glenelg tram line running along nearby Anzac Highway, and South Road — one of Adelaide's primary arterial routes — provides quick car access to the city and southern suburbs. Local shops, parks, and community facilities are within easy reach, and the suburb sits close to the larger retail and restaurant precincts of Richmond and Mile End. Its affordability, proximity to the CBD, and good public transport links make Hilton popular with young professionals, renters, and first-home buyers.
