Virginia is a suburb located on the rural outskirts of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. The suburb sits on the northern fringe of Adelaide's metropolitan area, positioned along a key transport corridor.
Port Wakefield Road, the main highway serving traffic to the north of Adelaide, runs through Virginia. Historically, this major route passed directly through the suburb before infrastructure changes altered its course through the area.
Market gardening serves as the primary economic activity in Virginia, reflecting its rural character and agricultural heritage despite its proximity to Adelaide's urban center.
