87 Wakefield Gardens is a detached house situated on a 767 m² block of land. The property offers generous garden space typical of Ainslie’s leafy streets.
The home is within walking distance of the Mount Ainslie nature trails, offering easy access to the paved walk and the steep “goat track” up the hill. Residents can also enjoy nearby parks such as Bill Pye Park and Corroboree Park.
A short stroll brings you to Ainslie’s central shopping strip, which includes an IGA supermarket, a cafe, a restaurant, a liquor store, a pharmacy, a laundrette, a Pilates studio and a newsagent. These services create a convenient village‑like atmosphere.
Bus shelters are located within 0.4‑0.7 km of the house, including the Cowper Street and Campbell Street shelters (0.4 km) and the Officer Crescent shelter (0.7 km), providing easy routes to Canberra’s CBD.
Residents can enjoy several nearby green spaces: Bill Pye Park (0.6 km), Rugby Park (0.7 km), Corroboree Park (0.8 km) and the Keith Tournier Enclosed Oval (0.7 km). The Ainslie Tennis Club is also just 0.7 km away for tennis enthusiasts.
The Wakefield Gardens precinct, built between 1925 and 1929, was created to provide housing for lower‑income public servants and workmen following the opening of the new Parliament House in 1927. It reflects the early Garden City planning that shaped Ainslie’s residential character.
