Downer lies in Canberra’s inner north and is bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. It is an inner‑city suburb close to the city centre.
The area was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility in the 1930s and served as a poppy plantation during World War II. Large pine and gum trees were planted then as windbreaks, many of which have since been replaced.
The Swinden Street Metro station is about 0.4 km away, and the Dickson Interchange, another Metro hub, is also roughly 0.4 km from the house.
The Dickson Centre, a local shopping precinct, is only 0.3 km away and includes a recently refurbished café in the Downer shopping centre. The Quality Hotel Dickson is also about 0.4 km from the property.
Downer sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects the original name of Canberra, "Limestone Plains".
