23 Archer Street, Dickson ACT 2602, Australia
23 Archer Street is a detached house situated on a sizable block. The property occupies a land area of 716 m².
The home lies in the central part of Dickson, which is known for leafy streets and predominantly detached single‑dwelling houses. The area retains a low‑rise, residential character with nearby parks and playing fields.
Within about 1 km you can reach the Dickson Interchange, which serves six bus routes (18, 30, 31, 50, 51, 53 and R9). Two light‑rail stations – Macarthur Avenue and the one at Dickson Interchange – are also close by.
The Dickson Centre shopping precinct, Dickson Library, and the Dickson Wetlands are all within a 0.7‑0.9 km walk. Several parks such as Keith Tournier Enclosed Oval, Bill Pye Park and Rugby Park are also nearby.
Dickson was the site of Canberra’s original aerodrome from 1924‑1926, covering much of the central residential portion of the suburb. The suburb’s development began in the late 1950s after the former experiment station land was released for housing.
The ground is formed mainly of calcareous shales from the Silurian‑age Canberra Formation, sometimes referred to as the limestone that gave Canberra its early nickname “Limestone Plains”. In flatter sections, Quaternary alluvium overlies the shale.
Residents can enjoy nearby playing fields and ovals used for soccer, cricket and rugby, as well as walking tracks lined with pine, oak and gum trees. The Dickson Wetlands, completed in 2011, provide additional outdoor space for leisure.
