My wife was asthmatic and I am someone prone to milder respiratory allergies.
We were both OK in eastern Melbourne, but neither of us did well anywhere in Adelaide and ultimately sold up and moved to the hills before later going to Melbourne for family reasons.
It was at its worst when we lived in Prospect and later nearly as bad when we tried Delfin Island (West Lakes) on the theory the sea breezes would help.
When I returned to Adelaide in 2009 I considered eastern options like Stonyfell, but after a week staying with friends there, while house-hunting, I decided to buy in the hills again. (It was better there but not better enough.)
The Blackwood area doesn't seem too bad...
I suspect the difference is that Melbourne is a bit more open and windy and the air pollution blows away more whereas Adelaide sits in a bowl.
Even in Melbourne we both had problems when visiting friends who lived in Port Cook.

I thought the experience I reported in some locations may matter if the asker had any kids with asthma proneness or other allergic tendencies.
Yes, I do have a somewhat over-reactive immune system, and I guess I'm lucky that is all I have, given my father's severe asthma and my mother's skin allergies that showed up in adulthood in both. I'm fine to spend a day in the CBD, but after about 3 consecutive days exposure it starts to have an effect.
On the other hand it does mean I'm highly resistant to potential infections, and hardly ever get them.
And, no, Haemoglobin is no help, but antihistamines or anti-inflammatory medications do help after exposure to allergens.
I try to minimise taking them though - I once got a severe allergic reaction to an antihistamine.

As a panthers fan you could choose further south closer to Noarlunga so no travel for home matches.
You will have the expressway to help make the journey to work quicker
