Pooraka sits about twelve kilometres north of the city in the City of Salisbury, between Mawson Lakes and Ingle Farm, with Main North Road, Bridge Road and Montague Road running through it. It was called Dry Creek, after the local watercourse, until the council renamed it in 1916, and it had its own station on the Northfield railway line until 1987.
Most of the housing dates from the post-war decades, with newer townhouses where the older blocks have been subdivided. Mawson Lakes’ shops, university and train station are a short drive away, which is much of the reason renters and first-home buyers look here.

The median price of houses that sold in Pooraka, from the South Australian Valuer-General's record of every settled sale. These are the figures for Apr–Jun 2026, updated each quarter.
