Suburb profile
Gidgealpa is a welcoming smaller community in Unincorporated SA, with a settled community character. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. Families and commuters make up much of the community.
There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch. Housing remains accessible compared with many parts of the state.
