Belconnen

It’s one of the closest suburbs to the CBD but you could easily not know Aranda exists. Hidden in a leafy pocket at the foot of Black Mountain, living here means you can enjoy all the luxuries of urban living but feel like you’re miles away from anything. The once-derelict Aranda shops are now a bustling community with a coffee roastery, cafe, bar and a boutique gift shop, or it’s not far to the Jamison Shopping Centre at Macquarie. With easy access to the city and Belconnen, excellent facilities, parks and good quality schools, Aranda is home to many established families but younger couples enjoy the lifestyle too.

Aranda

You’ll know you’re in Belconnen once you’ve driven past the much-loved, phallic-shaped owl statue. Whether you want to enjoy the water and the outdoors with family, have a leisurely meal with friends, or be close to a major transport hub, you can do it all in Belconnen. There’s no shortage of shops and eateries, both at Westfield Belconnen shopping mall, hidden in the surrounding buildings or dotted around the Lake Ginninderra foreshore. Apartment complexes are Belconnen’s signature, with plenty of new developments popping up around the Lake.

Sitting alongside bushland with close proximity to both the city and Belconnen, Bruce is popular with students, professionals and families alike, living primarily in modern apartments and townhouses. It’s an area dominated by health, education and sport, with Calvary Hospital, Canberra Institute of Technology, University of Canberra, the Australian Institute of Sport and GIO Stadium Canberra all within walking distance. Here you can spot one of our country’s greatest athletes, catch a Raiders, Brumbies, Capitals, and Socceroos match or even a world-class entertainment act such as Keith Urban.

One of Canberra’s best value suburbs, Charnwood in outer west Belconnen is a quiet suburb with easy access to a wide range of facilities. The suburb’s range of houses are popular with young professionals first entering the property market, often then adding their own touch with a renovation. The affordability factor also makes it popular with families, and the suburb has multiple schools and sports fields. Charnwood has its own dedicated local shops with a supermarket, retailers and plenty of eateries, plus Belconnen Town Centre or the shops in nearby Casey are just a short drive away.

Charnwood

The quiet, leafy suburb of Cook is one of Belconnen’s innermost suburbs, just a 10 minute drive from the city centre.

Live in Cook and you’re lucky enough to call the Cook Shops your local, which are home to popular cafe Little Oink, pizza and craft beer bar To All My Friends, an oyster and seafood shop, and a well-stocked grocer and liquor store that is bursting with local produce. Jamison Plaza is also a stone’s throw away.

Right-on the north-west border of the ACT, Dunlop is a quiet gem of a suburb, offering plenty of open space, closeness to nature and a family-friendly atmosphere.

For more shops and facilities, it’s only a 10 minute drive to Westfield Belconnen, or a quick trip in the opposite direction will get you out to the heart of Canberra’s wine region.

If you work in the city, it’s just a quick walk into the office, and you’re spoilt for choice with exceptional coffee along the way. Great schools can also be found in the surrounding suburbs.

Looking for leafy streets, easy access to public transport and a particularly good eat street? Dickson may be the suburb for you. With a light rail interchange and several bus stops right there, getting to work, school or wherever you need to go is easy. But there’s plenty to explore within the suburb itself. The Dickson shops have everything you could need, with even more shops currently under development. Just around the corner is where things get delicious, with Canberra’s ‘China Town’ restaurant strip alongside a great selection of cafes, restaurants and pubs. You can find plenty of older homes, surrounded by greenery on substantial blocks, as well as a smattering of brand new apartment developments.

Dickson

Downer is an inner-north suburb that offers quiet residential living and is popular with retirees, couples and students. It’s right on the doorstep of the inner city hubs of Lyneham and Dickson, with access to great schools, transport options and shops nearby. And the formerly quiet Downer Shops have recently been revitalised, and now boast the popular Gang Gang Cafe, wellbeing studio Here, a vet hospital and a wine shop.

With leafy streets, an oval of bounding dogs, and a strong sense of community, the suburb of Hackett is somewhat of a hidden gem. While it sits only six kilometres from the city, you’ll feel like you’re miles away thanks to plenty of mature trees and wide open spaces. Some houses even have nature right on their doorstep, backing onto Mount Majura Nature Reserve. Hackett shops has all of the basics plus Thai takeaway joint Siam Twist, while the shops and vast eateries of Dickson are a short trip away. It’s also close to a great choice of schools and public transport.

With beautiful leafy streets, great cycle paths, proximity to the city and genuinely cool local shops, Lyneham is one sought-after suburb. It’s an area synonymous with art, and you can lap up the creative vibes at Tilley’s Devine Café Gallery, known for its all-dining and jazz nights, or The Front, with its live music, art exhibitions and delicious brunches. A mix of standalone houses, townhouses and apartments, Lyneham residents have easy access to three schools, and to the light rail network which runs directly past on Northbourne Avenue.

Majura

Big blocks, heritage-listed properties, leafy streets, and an exceptional local pub, all within walking distance of the city? It’s no wonder O’Connor is an in-demand suburb. The Duxton at the O’Connor shops is a local institution, known for top-notch pub grub, trivia nights and lazy catch ups with friends, as is the Polish White Eagle Club across the road. The well established inner suburb has a wide mix of residents, and the shady streets are predominantly lined with single-storey houses.

Perched right on the city fringe, Reid is one of Canberra’s oldest suburbs. Living here means you get to enjoy leafy, tree-lined streets and large house blocks - an entire section of the suburb has even been heritage listed to protect the unique architecture of the homes in the area. It’s a short walk into the buzzing city centre, or even the restaurants and bars of the new Campbell 5 precinct or Braddon’s Lonsdale Street. And even though you’re right in the heart of town, it’s not hard to escape to nature - it’s walking distance to Mt Ainslie, where if you make the trip up, you’re treated to spectacular panoramic views of the nation’s capital.

Russell

It may only be minutes from the city, but Turner is a peaceful suburb, with tree-lined streets and plenty of parks and green spaces. Here you’ll predominantly find apartments and townhouses, with a number of brand new developments, along with a few older cottages and houses still dotted around the suburb. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to facilities, with everything the buzzing city centre offers within easy walking distance, or the lively dining strip of Lonsdale Street in Braddon just a stone’s throw away. The light rail also runs right by, and there’s easy access to the rest of Canberra’s public transport network.

Turner

This charming little suburb may be right next to the New South Wales border, but it still feels like you’re in the centre of everything. The Watson Shops are a foodie’s delight, with delicious Filipino restaurant Lolo and Lola, and very popular cafe, The Knox Made in Watson, while the main shopping and dining hub of Dickson is a short drive away. It’s also a quick trip across Northbourne Avenue to the Capital Region Farmers Market every Saturday morning. Inhabited by students, families and retirees, Watson was once primarily houses but more townhouses and apartments have been added over the years.

Capital Hill

With its beautiful tree-lined streets, proximity to the city, Woden and Lake Burley Griffin, and lush parks and reserves, it’s no wonder that Deakin is home to the official residences of the Prime Minister and Foreign Ambassadors. At its heart are the Deakin shops boasting a Fitness First gym, gourmet-stocked IGA, several eateries, including one of Canberra’s all-time faves, Double Shot café, and a divine shoe boutique, Sissa Sissorella. Here you’ll find grand houses with established gardens and sweeping views, knock-down rebuilds next to more modest homes and new apartments and townhouses.

A beautiful maze of geometric street patterns lined with well-manicured hedges and well-established trees, Forrest is a highly sought-after spot in the inner south. With a blend of beautiful older homes, modern architectural gems and some newer apartments and townhouses, living here means easy access to parklands and some of the best schools, while Parliament House and the hubs of Kingston and Manuka centres are just a stone’s throw away.

Traditionally an industrial hub, Fyshwick has been transforming over recent years, and now boasts not only a brewery, indoor ski centre and Canberra’s famed Ona Coffee, but more and more hip eating spots keep opening their doors. Only a few residents call Fyshwick home for now, but with newly slated, lakeside apartment developments on the way, many others are set to join them.

Fyshwick

While it’s not far over the Lake to the city centre, Griffith is spoilt for choice when it comes to facilities. The suburb has its own thriving hub at the Manuka Shops, with a grocery store, restaurants, cafes, bars, and cinemas, all right across from prime sporting facility Manuka Oval. Or there are the quieter neighbourhood Griffith shops which boast Canberra’s top fine dining restaurant Aubergine and an impressive range of services and stores including yoga studios and a popular wholefoods store. Close to some of the top private schools, plenty of well-heeled families live in Griffith in sprawling houses, with many brand new apartments starting to spring up around the suburb, providing an entry point for younger buyers.
