 Gimsbach's built-up area stretches along both sides of the through road ("Bundesstraße" 423), which within the village is known as Glanstraße and which runs parallel to the river Glan, then along both sides of Neunkircher Straße, which branches off the main road and runs along the Günsbach.On the brook's south side, Römerstraße branches off Glanstraße affording access to an extensive new building zone.The building style in the older parts of the village makes it clear that it was mainly farmers who lived here in earlier times.
