About Novar Gardens
Most of the suburb was subdivided from the old Morphett Estate from 1966, so the housing is largely late 1960s and 1970s brick homes on generous blocks. Many have been renovated or replaced with new two-storey homes. Units and small groups are limited, so most sales are houses. Cummins House, John Morphett's home on Sheoak Avenue, is a reminder of its farming past.
Immanuel College is on Morphett Road, and Glenelg Golf Club sits on the western side. Sport is close by at Camden Oval and the Camden Sports Complex. Anzac Highway gives a straight run to the city or down to Glenelg, and Adelaide Airport is a few minutes away.
