Browse property in Larapinta Drive

Larapinta Drive runs through the residential heart of Gillen, bordered by a string of green‑space amenities such as Jim McConville Park, Newland Park, Poeppel Park and Roberts Park, while Centralian Middle School sits directly on the street, giving the suburb a family‑oriented streetscape of detached homes set back from a tree‑lined boulevard. The proximity of Bradshaw Primary School, several smaller parks (Flynn, Finlayson, Forrest and Spencer) and community facilities like the Alice Springs General Cemetery and the Central Australian Aviation Museum reinforces the area’s neighbourhood feel.

Transport links are strong: Larapinta Drive feeds onto the Stuart Highway, the Northern Territory’s main arterial road that connects Alice Springs to Adelaide and Darwin, and the suburb lies only a short drive from Alice Springs railway station (served by The Ghan) and the town’s airport, with Greyhound coach services and regular flights to major cities. Local services such as the ambulance and fire stations, the post office and the Strehlow Research Centre are all within a kilometre, providing residents with essential amenities close to home.
