Close to it all: The suburb on the city fringe perfect for Canberra lifestyle buyers
Tucked in next to the eastern edge of Civic is Reid, one of Canberra’s oldest suburbs.
It’s home to Canberra’s oldest church – St John the Baptist Church – as well as the tertiary training facility, Canberra Institute of Technology.
Reid’s earliest houses were constructed to house government officials relocating to work in the new nation’s capital, and it boasts the city’s largest heritage housing precinct.
Meanwhile, the western edge of the suburb has been given a modern facelift, with the heritage Bega Flats replaced with a brand new high-density development.

Eat & Drink
In Reid, you’re spoiled with culinary options tucked between two foodie hubs.
Just across Anzac Parade, you can enjoy a wine and charcuterie platter at Paranormal Wines, a hearty breakfast at Teddy Picker’s or sophisticated dining at Lanterne Rooms.
Head across to the Bunda Street dining precinct, where you’ll find some of Canberra’s most exciting eateries like Raku, Inka, Kokomo’s and Akiba. Or help train the hospitality workers of tomorrow while enjoying a delicious meal at the CIT Restaurant.
See & Do
From Reid, it’s a quick stroll across to everything Civic has to offer.
But within the suburb, you can explore Canberra’s first schoolhouse at the St John’s Schoolhouse Museum, have a hit at the Reid Tennis Club, or take a self-guided walking tour along Anzac Parade to explore the memorials, finishing with a visit to the Australian War Memorial.
Afterwards, indulge in a facial or massage at Skin Deep Massage and Beauty.
