Kent Town
Kent Town is a SUB AREA in Adelaide, South Australia.
Kent Town is a quiet, leafy suburb just east of Adelaide’s CBD, offering a relaxed escape with a touch of history. Wander past stately 19th-century villas, enjoy the green expanse of Kent Town Park, and explore the boutique Kent Town Hotel for a classic pub meal. The area’s gentle streets are perfect for morning jogs or cycling to the nearby city. Local cafes serve artisan coffee, while the adjacent Rundle Street boutiques are a short walk. Although small, Kent Town’s charm lies in its blend of residential calm and easy access to Adelaide’s cultural and culinary scene. With the Adelaide Hills a 20-minute drive away and the coast reachable by tram, it’s an ideal base for exploring South Australia’s capital. Weekend farmers’ markets, the nearby Adelaide Botanic Garden, and the Art Gallery of South Australia add to the appeal.
