Gilberton

"A well kept secret on the north eastern edge of the city"

I have lived in Gilberton (Tyne Street) since I came to South Australia for employment reasons in September 2008. The suburb has all of the convenience, character and charm of Walkerville but is happy to live in the shadow of its more affluent neighbour I think. With its proximity to Melbourne Street, Linear Park, public and private primary school options (not much public high school access which is a bit of an issue) and indeed, the CBD itself (5 mins by car or 15mins by mountain bike), Gilberton is close to all of the facilities and attractions you could want (with the exception of the beach I guess). It is an older but much renovated suburb that is easy to live in and quickly gaining in popularity from my observations of the number of conversions underway. I would rate it an excellent location for families and couples but not singles. Retirees??? I think they are already here in numbers.

Who lives here?

  • Professionals
  • Families with kids
  • Retirees

I have no idea why Simon would say Gilberton is not a good location for singles. As a single young woman I've lived in Gilberton for 7 years, and would not want to live anywhere else! For all the conveniences he's listed, its perfect for me too. In addition its close to uni, and single people also like the linear park - its good for walks, cycling and exercise. I would say Gilberton is a fantastic location for anybody looking for these conveniences, except those wanting to be close to the beach.
