The Downer shopping centre was refurbished in the late 2010s and now hosts a new café and a veterinary clinic. A bronze kangaroo sculpture was also unveiled there in May 2019.

The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. Historically this region was referred to as the "Limestone Plains."
Downer originated as a CSIRO agricultural research facility in the 1930s and was used for opium poppy cultivation during 1939‑1945. The area retains large pine and gum trees planted as windbreaks during that era.
