Common questions
By walk score, the most walkable Greater Canberra suburbs of 1,000 or more residents are Braddon (100 out of 100), Campbell (100 out of 100) and Chifley (100 out of 100). The score counts the shops, services, transport stops and pedestrian infrastructure within walking distance of the suburb's centre, from OpenStreetMap; 90 and above is exceptional. The ranking is drawn from 89 suburbs with a score.
Seven of the ten suburbs on this page have a published median house price, from $358,000 in Greenway to $1,720,000 in Braddon. Prices for the Australian Capital Territory are ABS statistical-area (SA2) medians: each is the median for the area that carries the suburb's name. An SA2 can take in surrounding localities, so a figure can differ from sales in the suburb itself. A dash in the table means the suburb's own page publishes no median, because its source is distrusted or it rests on fewer than five recorded sales.
We do not predict which suburbs will boom, and we hold no growth figure to rank Canberra suburbs on: the medians we publish for the ACT are ABS statistical-area (SA2) medians for 2024, and they come without a 12-month change. A figure beside a suburb here is a median, a rent, a yield, a walk score or a school ICSEA, each measured and sourced, never a forecast. Each suburb's own page shows its published median and says where it comes from.
