"Quiet Suburb with Broad Tree-lined Streets, yet short drive to town"

Highgate is an older style suburb full of fully matured trees framing the wide side streets. The housing is of an immaculate standard with a strong mix of traditionally styled houses and contemporary yet tasteful residences. Framed by Fullarton and Cross roads, many of the streets are dead ends and the area contains some roundabouts and speed humps, thus ensuring that the area remains peaceful with only local traffic passing through. The suburb is home to a number of well manicured public parks, playgrounds and tennis courts and also home to The Concordia private school and two local primary schools.

The social makeup of the area is predominantly middle to upper class families, due to the close proximity to an array of high quality Private and Public schools. Highgate is also home to a large number of senior citizens and consequently is well serviced by a number of bus routes through to the city. Cost however is a factor with vacant land in the area a rarity, and as the suburb contains primarily traditional housing allotments, housing sells for a premium price with many houses containing adjacent swimming pools and/or tennis courts thus adding to the housing price.

Highgate is only a short drive or walk to the Unley road shopping precinct, Mitcham shopping centre with cinemas and the King William road boulevard.
