Fitzroy is an inner northern suburb of Adelaide 4 km (2.5 mi) from the Adelaide city centre, in the state of South Australia, within the City of Prospect. It ranks among the most expensive suburban areas in South Australia.[2] It is adjacent to Prospect, Ovingham, Thorngate and, across the Adelaide Park Lands, North Adelaide.
Fitzroy is bounded on the west by Cotton Street, on the south by Fitzroy Terrace, on the east by Prospect Road and on the north by Whinham and Halstead streets. Fitzroy is essentially a residential suburb, overlooking the northern Adelaide parklands.[3] The suburb is characterized by a diverse range of architectural styles, from beautifully preserved Victorian and Edwardian homes to sleek contemporary homes.[4]
