Overview

Kingston, the oldest and one of Canberra’s most densely populated suburbs, lies just 4 km from the city centre and borders Barton, Fyshwick, Griffith and Manuka. Its heritage precincts – the Kingston/Griffith Garden City and the historic Powerhouse – sit alongside the early Kingston Shopping Centre, a lively bar scene and the weekly Old Bus Depot Markets on the lake’s edge. Residents enjoy nearby green spaces such as Green Square and Telopea Park, as well as cultural sites like the Canberra Baptist Church and Canberra Glassworks.

Transport is anchored by Wentworth Avenue, which runs northwest‑to‑southeast, and the Canberra railway station a half‑kilometre away, linking the suburb to the wider ACT. Recent foreshore redevelopment has added high‑value apartments, while the broader housing mix remains dominated by flats (90.5 % in 2021) with a small proportion of townhouses, units and heritage‑protected houses. With a 2021 population of 6,579, Kingston offers a blend of historic charm and modern, medium‑density living.
