When in Weston: Why you should consider buying in this south-side suburb

This week, we shine the spotlight on Weston and if you’ve been lucky to call this suburb home, you’d know that it’s one of Canberra’s quiet achievers.

Surrounded by green pastures and thriving businesses, this suburb has a sense of resilience to it, having been impacted by Canberra’s 2003 bushfires.

Conveniently located only 15 minutes from Canberra and within walking distance to nearby nature trails and gardens, Weston is a suburb worth considering as your next neighbourhood.
