[edit] Housing

Sefton Park is one of the older Adelaide suburbs and as such contains many Californain Bungalows and some Art Deco homes.

In recent times, some of these older homes have been demolished to make way for new housing. New developments are typically higher density, fitting two or three homes on one block of land. The suburb's proximity to the CBD means that this is a more lucrative option for developers.
