Living in Gladstone
Gladstone is an Invercargill suburb in the central-eastern residential area, the Invercargill edition of the several New Zealand Gladstones that William Ewart Gladstone's Victorian prime ministerial career generated across the colony's naming enthusiasm. Around 2,500 people live in Invercargill's Gladstone, in the established inner-eastern suburb that sits between the city centre and the outer eastern residential band, close enough to the CBD to have the mixed-use character that proximity produces.
The suburb has the urban density of Invercargill's inner residential ring: properties that are slightly smaller than the outer suburbs, streets that see slightly more foot traffic, and the mix of housing types that the older residential areas accumulate when they're close enough to the centre to attract the renovation investment that characterises inner urban suburbs. The CBDs amenities are within flat cycling or walking distance.
Invercargill's central services, the SIT polytechnic campus and the city's commercial district are all accessible from Gladstone's central position. The suburb functions as the inner eastern residential address for those who want the city's services close and the Southland plain's commuting distances behind them.
Local Invercargill primary schools serve Gladstone. Mr Gladstone's four terms as Prime Minister are not prominently commemorated in the suburb, but the name endures regardless.
