Wait — which Onkaparinga Heights community?
Fair question. There’s more than one new development underway at Onkaparinga Heights, each from different developers. It’s easy to land on the wrong website or talk to the wrong sales team without realising it.
South is the 17.8-hectare community from Peet, in partnership with Tokyo Gas Real Estate Australia, 30 minutes south of Adelaide. It’s also first to market in the area — currently the quickest way into a new home in Onkaparinga Heights.
What makes South different
It’s not just about being new — it’s about being built properly. South is going in with wider roads, bigger verges and more parking than you’ll typically find in a new estate, plus reserve spaces that have actually been designed rather than as an after-thought. Quality controls through design guidelines on how homes present to the street keep things looking sharp long after the sales have concluded. The additional level of care that is that is easy to see once you’re living next to an estate that skipped it.
It’s backed by Peet’s 130+ years building communities across Australia, in partnership with Tokyo Gas Real Estate Australia — so South is designed with the future value of your home in mind.
The only display village in Onkaparinga Heights
South will be home to the only display village in Onkaparinga Heights, expected to open in 2027 with 14 builders and 22 display homes on show. It’s the difference between picturing a floorplan on paper and actually walking through one.
