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.
