1 Best Place, Charnwood ACT 2615, Australia
The house sits on a 696 m² block. This provides ample space for a garden or outdoor activities.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, with streets serving rear garages and a network of pathways intended to let pedestrians travel without crossing roads directly. In practice, many homeowners fenced off the park side, resulting in narrow walkways with limited lighting.
The Charnwood centre shopping area is close by, offering fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths, a Shell service station and a Labor Club. An emergency services station with ambulance, fire and rescue services is located at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
Yes, Boslem and Harte Park is about 0.3 km away and George Simpson Park is roughly 0.7 km from the house, both providing green space for recreation.
The Charnwood District Playing Fields, home to the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club during the track season (October–March), are located nearby.
From 2004 to 2018 the suburb hosted the annual “Charny Carny” carnival, which raised funds for community organisations including the local scout group; the event ceased in 2020 due to a shortage of volunteers.
Federally, Charnwood is part of the Division of Fenner, and for ACT Legislative Assembly elections it is in the Ginninderra electorate.
The area is underlain by Silurian‑age rocks, primarily Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite, with the Deakin Fault running along the north‑east edge, separating these from Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite to the north‑east.
