Marden, South Australia

Marden is a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia in the City of Norwood Payneham St Peters.

The Marden suburb grew out of ribbon development on Payneham Road, providing services to people travelling between Athelstone and the city of Adelaide.

The suburb has a rich history of market gardening on the flats area, near the River Torrens boundary, having a fresh water supply via Third Creek and the Torrens River.

Some buildings in the area date from the pre-Federation era but most development was completed in the post-World War Two decades.

Housing blocks south of Lower Portrush Road have a high concentration of unit and flats, especially in the Broad Street vicinity.
