The Town Centre is admittedly the most convenient place to be and is in the heart of Gibraltar for culture, local food and business activity. The Town Centre is in fact the epiCentre of the old city located behind the historic city walls which was once all that existed of Gibraltar before the extensive land reclamation works started.
Due to the heritage of Gibraltar, most if not all of the residential apartments and houses in this area are located within refurbished or privately maintained colonial buildings offering characterful living accommodation when compared to the modern developments.
The Upper Rock is also included within this area and which is an extension of the Old Town with the main distinction that the views from this area can be spectacular. On clear days you can see the distant coastline of Africa which can sometimes be a breathtaking sight!
There are many local amenities in the Town Centre which include local convenience stores, restaurants, English pubs and the main high street retail shopping district on Main Street.

Cormorant Wharf, Ragged Staff Wharf, The Sails and Queensway Quay Marina are the predominant buildings in this area offering a quieter side to Gibraltar life. These residential buildings are situated around the “old marina” when compared to the newer Ocean Village marina and lifestyle option. Two very different locations!
Queensway has a hint of salubriousness about it which may be from the colonial vernacular architecture, established restaurants and bars or from the tranquility of walking along the water’s edge..
This area is very popular and due to the prestige location and lifestyle it offers whilst remaining very convenient to access the Old Town which is only minutes away.
There are no Nurseries in this sector.
There are no Primary Schools in this sector.

Suitably named for being at the southernmost tip of Gibraltar, the South District can be described as the most popular residential area in Gibraltar with an extensive range of apartments and houses to suit all tastes and pockets. Most properties can boast truly spectacular views of the strait of Gibraltar and the African coastline.
Due to the focus on residential accommodation in this area, there are limited amenities to offer local residents although this is something you compromise on due to the tranquillity of the area.
Popular developments in this area include The Anchorage, Clifftop House, The Cliftons, Rosia Plaza, Vineyards and Brympton to name a few.
Being a residential area, the South District benefits from local schooling facilities including the Loreto Convent and St Joseph’s school, and most places are only a short walk from the beachside resort of Camp Bay and Little Bay which are very popular bathing destinations during the summer months.
