Okay, so the first thing you’re going to ask with a smaller property is: ‘Where am I going to put my bike?’ It might be built for one (or two), but there’s loads of space inside this apartment for your prized possession. Or it can be locked up downstairs with your car.

Major benefits of living here — it has a study nook and two separate balconies: one for enjoying the morning sun, and the other for enjoying the afternoon sun. Also, the views are showstopping.

The ‘cold beer after a ride’ option at this apartment is awesome: the main balcony overlooks a park and green space, and is just the right size for a bar with high stools.

3 bed, 1 bath in Duffy

9 Tantangara Street

Distance from Stromlo Forest Park: 5.4km

This little surprise package in Canberra’s wild west is a bit further away from Stromlo but has an aesthetic that’s so worth it. The facade reflects the early 1970s days of home construction in Duffy, while the inside is compact but has been completely modernised and is move-in ready.

Major benefits of living here — outstanding deck for cuppas and vinos, a yard for teaching tiny mountain bikers to ride and a major talking point in the front facade.
