Overview

Deakin is a well‑established Canberra suburb whose streets, named after governors and diplomats, were laid out from the 1920s and mostly built after 1945. At the 2021 census the suburb housed 3,124 residents, with a housing split of 67.9 % separate houses, 18 % semi‑detached or terrace homes and 13.9 % apartments – a slightly higher share of town‑houses than the national average. The area’s professional‑leaning population (43.8 % professionals) enjoys proximity to the historic Lodge, the Royal Australian Mint and several heritage‑listed homes.

Everyday life centres on a small shopping precinct on Hopetoun Circuit, offering an IGA supermarket, service station, newsagent, chemist and restaurants, plus a Fitness First health club and the nearby Canberra Deakin Soccer Club. Public transport is convenient, with the MacGregor Street bus shelter just 0.3 km away, while a cluster of embassies, high commissions and green spaces such as Nature Park and Latrobe Park lie within a kilometre, giving residents a blend of diplomatic ambience, leisure and easy city access.
