It is a residential suburb within the local government area of City of Port Adelaide Enfield, adjacent to the suburbs of Semaphore, Semaphore South, Glanville and New Port.

Facilities

The suburb is not served by a public primary school. The nearest are Le Fevre Primary School in Birkenhead and Westport Primary School in Semaphore Park. The area was previously serviced by Ethelton Primary School, but the campus was closed when the school amalgamated with Semaphore Primary School (to form Westport Primary). The local high school is Le Fevre High School, in nearby Semaphore South. There is a private school in the suburb, Portside Christian School (Reception to Year 12).

The John Hart Reserve and Oval at the north-western corner is the main recreational facility in the suburb.[5][6] There is little commercial activity in the area, as Port Adelaide is nearby.

New Port is a housing development and suburb created in 2007 on the Port River and is next to Ethelton.[1][7][8]
