Meet your neighbours

A community is only as good as the people who live there.

So let’s meet some of them.

Sakura Lim

Veterinary nurse Sakura Lim got a sneak peek of her new one-bedroom apartment at Nightingale Bowden in late August. The 25-year-old will move in with her two dogs, Cheddar and Coco, in September, after securing an affordable pathway to home ownership via an innovative partnership between Housing Choices South Australia, Renewal SA, SA Housing Authority and not-for-profit, Melbourne-based innovator Nightingale Housing.

SA Circus Centre

During the height of the pandemic, arts company and recreational circus school, SA Circus Centre – home of Cirkidz – found itself in a unique position. While many other South Australian businesses were juggling the crippling nature of tough density limits, it received a bump in bookings for classes at its large Bowden warehouse, where it could meet social distancing requirements.

BST fitness

If you’ve met the effervescent and energetic Brad from BST fitness on Fifth Street, you’d know that the gym is his pride and joy. Brad has been with us since the start of the Bowden redevelopment project and has been an integral part of creating the community you see today.

There’s always
something on.

Transport

Getting around Bowden is easy. It’s a walkable community, pedestrian-friendly and close to everything. You can comfortably live here without a car. Only 2.5km from the CBD, you can ride your bike, or choose easy public transport to save money, time and avoid parking hassles.

Train and tram

Only one train stop and 3 minutes from the Adelaide Railway Station serviced by both the Grange and Outer Harbour services or choose a free tram ride into the CBD in just 15 minutes.

There are multiple transport options available between Bowden and the CBD:

- By train: 3 minutes
- By car: 8 minutes
- By tram: 15 minutes

Walk and cycle

Bowden is a vibrant walkable community surrounded by shops, cafes, restaurants, offices, parks, and open space.

Cycling (and walking) paths along the greenways and parklands trails provide safe off-road links to the CBD and beyond.

Share cars and parking

While Bowden is well connected through public transport and green pathways, share cars are the perfect way to go when the journey isn’t suited to hopping on your bike, a bus or a tram. Flexicar and Uber Car Share options are close by.

In addition to the extensive street parking options within Bowden, there are several alternative parking options including the Adelaide Entertainment Centre's "Park and Ride" and Secure Park at the Raptis site (the old fish market) between Port Road and the railway.
