Living in Glengarry
Glengarry is an Invercargill suburb in the southern residential area, the Invercargill one rather than the Southland district one, and the slug's city suffix does the work of confirming the distinction. Around 4,500 people live in Glengarry's established housing, making it one of the larger residential suburbs in the city's southern band, built out from the 1960s onward on the flat land that Invercargill consistently makes available for houses at sensible prices.
The suburb has the character that Invercargill's established residential areas produce when the development era is far enough behind them to have been improved by its residents: mature street trees, sections that have been gardened for decades, and the social fabric of a neighbourhood where the same families have been in the same streets long enough to have formed the associations that residential stability produces.
Westfield Invercargill and the city's retail core are within easy reach south on the flat roads, and the southern suburbs' community infrastructure - the schools, the sports clubs, the Invercargill Licensing Trust's facilities - provides the neighbourhood's social frame. The CBD is 10 minutes and the Southland plain extends in every other direction.
Glengarry Primary School serves the local years. Invercargill's secondary colleges handle the rest. Glengarry does Invercargill's residential work with the quiet competence of a suburb that has been at it for 60 years.
