Arthur Street has a famous origin. At the 'top' of the street, at the junction of Fernside Street, is the Heritage listed 'Fernside'. A signicant part of the current street was once the private driveway of this superb home that was originally sited on much larger grounds.
The street trees had been planted in species/type order to spell the word 'Fernside'.
Some of Toowoomba's more expensive character homes are in this street especially in the eastern half.
At the western end is a local lawn bowl club, East State School, a football stadium and the famous Botanical Gardens.
It is very well located and keenly sought in real estate terms.

The broader boundaries of this suburb, Bridge Street to the north, James Street to the south and everything east of Hume and Kitchener Streets have long offered people who live in East Toowoomba a variety of sought after facilities. St. Vincents Hospital, Medici Centre and Day Surgery Centre provide excellent health care. 'The Range' shopping centre has Woolworths as the major tenant and parking is generally hassle free. The choice of schools is considerable - Toowoomba Grammar School, Mater Dei, Toowoomba Preparatory School, Fairholme College and East State School all have strong educational credentials. Toowoomba's famous Queens Park, the Botanical Gardens, SQIT Campus and Cobb and Co. Museum are credible destinations and points of interest. A choice of good coffee shops [always important!] are located strategically throughout the precinct.
Another memorable characteristic is the evergreen Camphor Laurel street trees that line the avenues of some very attractive timber character homes.
This suburb is sought after by those appreciating the amenity this area offers. Land values per square metre [especially where there is an eastern valley outlook] are the highest within Toowoomba. Consequently the median house price is higher.
Although the cost of entering parts of this suburb are comparably higher, the value of well maintained homes continue to appreciate and, generally, sell relatively quickly.

Nestled just below the East Toowoomba watershed is the serpent shaped East Street. There is some magnificent homes within the street including the Heritage listed 'Glen Alpine' residence.
The northern end adjoins Webb Park and the Toowoomba Preparatory School. The park once enjoyed an army bunker presumably for a cannon that faced east towards Brisbane!
The locals must have wanted to protect their idyllic lifestyle perhaps?
Be prepared to pay an expected premium to live in this street, especially north of Cottosloe Street.
Larger allotments and some oustanding valley views combine to make this area special.
