Central Dickson is known for leafy streets lined with detached single‑dwelling houses and two‑storey duplexes. The western part is undergoing redevelopment with taller mixed‑use buildings, but the core remains a low‑rise, residential area.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Silurian-age Canberra Formation, historically referred to as the "Limestone Plains." In flatter sections, Quaternary alluvium overlays the shale.
Dickson was the site of Canberra’s original aerodrome from 1924‑1926 and later housed the Dickson Experiment Station, which conducted important agricultural research during and after World War II. The suburb was officially gazetted in 1928.
