Furnished homesin Braddon.

“Canberra's warehouse district, turned into its busiest strip.”

Braddon sits immediately north of Canberra's city centre and has changed more than any other part of the capital in the past fifteen years. Lonsdale Street was light-industrial — car yards, tyre shops and warehouses — and is now the densest run of bars, restaurants and independent retail in the ACT, with the Hamlet and Ori precincts built into former industrial sites. Housing has followed: a band of mid-rise apartment buildings now runs through the suburb, which makes furnished stock here both plentiful and new, mostly one and two-bedroom apartments. Braddon sits within walking distance of the Canberra Centre and Civic, and the light rail runs along Northbourne Avenue on its western edge, connecting north to Gungahlin and south to Alinga Street. Medium-term tenants are typically public servants and contractors on APS projects, consultants in Canberra for sitting periods, and people relocating to the capital who want to be somewhere with street life.
