About Sturt
Most homes are brick houses from the 1960s and 1970s on standard suburban blocks, with a growing number of townhouses and courtyard homes where older houses have been knocked down and the land split. Diagonal Road and Sturt Road both run through the suburb, and there are newer apartment and townhouse projects along the main roads.
Westfield Marion, the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre and Flinders Medical Centre are all close by, which suits health and university workers. Hawkesbury Avenue Reserve has a playground and open grass, and the Sturt River Linear Park trail is nearby. Brighton and the beach are about a ten minute drive west.
