Overview

Braddon lies just north of Canberra’s CBD, offering a walk‑able lifestyle centred on the vibrant Lonsdale Street precinct. The commercial strip hosts art galleries, cafés, bars, boutique fashion shops and a Centrelink office, while easy access to Northbourne Avenue and the Elouera Street Metro station links residents to the wider city. Green space is plentiful, with Haig Park and Northbourne Oval providing shaded walks and sport facilities, and heritage sites such as the Braddon Garden City precinct and the former Coggan’s Bakery adding character.

The suburb is Canberra’s most densely populated, with 6,383 residents recorded in the 2021 Census and a median age of 30. Housing is overwhelmingly high‑density: 80.7 % of dwellings are flats, units or apartments, 14.1 % are terrace or semi‑detached houses, and only 4.9 % are separate homes. This mix supports a socially diverse community of younger professionals, students and a modest proportion of public‑housing tenants, all within a short walk of work, study and leisure.
