Property hunting? Our top pick of homes in Canberra's south to inspect this weekend
When I moved back to the capital in 2020, my ideal place of residence was anywhere in the Inner South.
For many locals, the Inner South has been the cream of the crop for many years. But in the past two years, every region south of Lake Burley Griffin has seen tremendous growth in its housing market and has become an attractive place to rent, buy or invest in.
It’s the charm, the diverse offering of established, renovated and new properties, the gentrification of town centres including Woden Town Centre and its curated mix of cuisines on Bradley Street, as well as South.Point Tuggeranong and the expansion at Denman Village Shops have contributed to the regions’ growth.
Not to mention the new developments that are gracing our southside skylines. To say Canberra’s south has been busy is an understatement and I’m excited about diving into what makes this end of the capital so popular among Canberrans and what properties are available in the southside.

We may have just uncovered the perfect Inner South abode. Considered design blends harmoniously with leafy surrounds at this 163/39 McIntyre Street townhouse to present a home that’s as inviting as it is stylish.
The bedrooms are located upstairs alongside a multipurpose room for use as you wish. A media room, a second living area, a home office, a playroom – whatever your lifestyle requires, this space allows its execution.
The main bedroom enhances feelings of luxury and indulgence. Not only does it have a walk-through wardrobe leading into an en suite with twin vanities and under-tile heating, but it also boasts its own private balcony – a place where a moment’s peace can be enjoyed before tackling the day ahead.
