Nightcliff is the ideal place to live a balanced lifestyle away from the crowded and over-rated Darwin city apartments. It offers the best sunset views in the region and does not suffer from the midgies or sand flies of nearby suburbs (eg Leanyer, Coconut Grove) as there's no significant swamps closeby. That's why so many people come from all over Darwin & Palmerston in the evenings for the sunset picnics on the public grassed areas that provide ample tables and seating near the big parking lots. The refurbished boardwalk jetty is also a great spot to fish from or to enjoy the ocean spray as waves crash against the scenic mudstone and claystone cliffs. The ocean invites you for a swim if you're not scared of box jelly fish; to make up for this risk, there's a public swimming pool right on the beach. Jump on your push bike and weave your way around the many joggers and pram-pushers along the pedestrian & cycle path that hugs the coast line. Rapid Creek and Nightcliff markets are within walking distance every Sunday throughout the year for fresh green vegetables and tropical fruits grown in the NT or for some spicy tucker cooked on the spot by the stall owners. There's also Woolworths, small corner stores, NT's only bowling alley, private and public gyms and small restaurants. Several good schools are also located in Nightcliff. Inspite of the presence of the Beachfront Hotel (great for the sundowners), there should be more similar public venues to maximise this locality's potential as a meeting place.

Designed for two lane traffic, it is fully residential. A mix of units (ground level as well as 3 storey high) and ground level homes. Traffic is not as heavy as in other parallel streets thanks to good planning (calming methods) of the flow from busy Trower Road. But it gives easy access onto nearby McMillans Rd and Trower Rd. All other side streets are cul-de-sacs, thus minimising flow to residents only. Most houses and units are post cyclone Tracy and there's even a brand new home nearing completion. It is close to the Homemaker village, Millner schools, the beach, Marrara golf course, 5 minutes to the airport, scenic Rapid Ck gardens, Woolworths Nightcliff, Coles Northlakes, Rapid Creek markets. Casuarina shopping centre is about 5 minutes away.
