Gilberton suburb profile

Gilberton is a small riverside suburb in Adelaide's inner north that sits along the River Torrens, prized for its treed streets and easy access to riverside reserves. Homes are a mix of early 20th century sandstone and weatherboard cottages alongside tasteful infill townhouses, giving the area a strong period character with some contemporary additions. The suburb appeals to professionals, families and older residents who want a quiet, village-like street atmosphere and gardened blocks. The Linear Park walking and cycling trail runs nearby, and local shops, schools and public transport links are within easy reach while the city is a short drive away.
