13 Allport Street is a house situated on a 730 m² parcel of land. The property is set within the suburb of Downer.
Downer is an inner‑north suburb of Canberra, bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. It lies within the Canberra district of the Australian Capital Territory.
The area originally housed a CSIRO agricultural research facility in the 1930s, which during 1939‑1945 was used to grow opium poppy for medication supplies. Large pine and gum trees were planted then as windbreaks, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled in May 2019 near the local shopping centre.
The ground beneath the property consists of calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This reflects the limestone origins of the Canberra region.
Federally, Downer is part of the electorate of Canberra and is represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party. In the ACT Legislative Assembly it falls within the Kurrajong electorate, which elects five members under proportional representation.
Within about 0.5 km you’ll find the Dickson Library, Dickson District Playing Fields and a local shopping centre with a café and veterinary clinic. Additional nearby amenities include the Dickson Wetland, Dickson Centre precinct and Quality Hotel Dickson, each roughly 0.6 km away.
Public transport is accessible nearby, with the Dickson Interchange metro station and the Swinden Street metro station each about 0.9 km from the property. A bus shelter on Officer Crescent is located roughly 1.1 km away.
