Highbury's street name themes range from British placenames (Brighton, Somerset, Lancaster, Coventry, Brentwood) to those of settlers of Palmerston North (Monrad).
There are many parks and reserves here which could almost suggest there are a lot of younger people here.
Three schools service the area and they are Somerset Crescent, Takaro, and Monrad Intermediate Schools. The main campus in Palmerston North of Te Wananga o Aotearoa is located here also.
The Cloverlea Tavern on the corner of Gillespies Line and Tremaine Avenue is the local pub and the 'Highbury Shops' located on the corner of Highbury Avenue and Pembroke Street provide convenience for residents.
The Monrad Rest Home is located in Highbury.
