It is bounded by Main North Road, Hogarth Road, Harvey Road and Ridley Road. It contains a local shopping centre, public and Catholic primary schools, and churches of several denominations.

==History== Elizabeth Grove was established in 1955 as one of the southern suburbs of what was then the new satellite city of Elizabeth. It was originally a private subdivision of Sections 3112–3114, 3119, 3124, 3123 and 3120 of the Hundred of Munno Para,<ref name="PLB">{{cite web |url=http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/ |id=SA0022274 |work=Property Location Browser Report |title=Placename Details: Elizabeth Grove |date=11 March 2009 |publisher=Government of South Australia |access-date=1 November 2017 |archive-date=12 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012010923/http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> which includes the current suburb plus some of Elizabeth South and Elizabeth Vale.<ref>{{cite map |url=http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/maps/series/hundreds_SA_63360/M/munno_para/map830bje63360_munno_para1964.pdf |title=Munno Para, Co.

The Elizabeth Grove Methodist Church (now Uniting Church) foundation stone was laid on 27 November 1956 by Premier Thomas Playford, less than two weeks after Elizabeth was inaugurated. The building provided a church but also a community hall used for many activities. It also had tennis courts, the first home courts of the Elizabeth Tennis Club. The building has a local heritage listing, and has been added to several times over the years.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ifech.com/2017/11/07/elizabeth-grove-uniting-church-south-australia/ |title=Elizabeth Grove Uniting Church – South Australia |date=7 November 2017 |access-date=9 November 2017 |publisher=iFECH Corporate Group}}</ref>
