Charnwood was designed using the Radburn principle, where streets serve rear garages and houses were intended to face common parkland; however, many residents added fences, creating narrow walkways with limited lighting.
The Charnwood centre shopping area, located within the suburb, offers several fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths supermarket, a Shell service station, and a Labor Club branch.
An emergency services station housing ambulance, fire and rescue services opened in October 2013 and is situated near the Charnwood shops at the south‑west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive.
The Boslem and Harte Park and George Simpson Park are each about 0.6 km away, and the Charnwood District Playing Fields, home to the Ginninderra “The Tigers” athletics club, are also nearby.
The suburb sits on Silurian‑age rocks, predominantly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite, with the Deakin Fault to the north‑east and Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite on the opposite side.
For federal elections, Charnwood is part of the Fenner seat, and for ACT Legislative Assembly elections it falls within the Ginninderra electorate.
