Gympie Street is known as one of the best streets in Northgate, along with Cook St and Pirrie Street. However, our street is the best because we have the best community spirit, the best trees, the most beautiful elegant old houses and lovely people. I love living in Gympie Street, it is beautiful, part of wonderful Northgate, strong community feel, very convenient to all amenities, quick stroll in the morning up to get coffee at Rhino. Great for families and a lovely park in our street. I love our old house and hope to stay here forever. Easy, peaceful living here for all ages.

Northgate is a beautiful suburb, quiet, pretty and peaceful tree-lined streets, huge classic Queenslanders on vast blocks. More beautiful and friendly than Ascot - but at two thirds or less of the price. The neighbourhood atmosphere reminds me of the 1950s. In Northgate, we do not have easements and sell off our backyards. We keep our huge yards, enjoy the birdlife and let the kids and pets enjoy the space. We have a neighbourhood hub of shops which is great (great coffee, food and service at Rhino) and within seconds you are at Nundah which is now a very busy yet accessible commercial shopping hub with lots of excellent eating options. Access to public transport is fantastic with train and bus. Several lovely,safe, well-kept parks with good amenities. The strong Northgate community atmosphere with traditions and customs that come from our senior, older residents who have been here for many decades is great for new families who want to be warmly welcomed into the area. Very well placed for easy access by road to North or South Coast and also easy fast access now to Airport Link - 6 minutes to Stafford now from Northgate! 10 - 15 minutes to the airport. I hear no flight noise at all and I feel much safer here than when we lived in Ascot. There is light industrial over the train line - doesn't bother us at all - reminds me of Kensington in Mebourne - all round fantastic areas to live. Couldn't be happier here in Northgate - we love it.
