Browse property in Allport Street

Allport Street runs through Downer’s inner‑north residential grid, framed by the suburb’s major borders of Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. The streetscape is shaded by the large pine and gum trees planted in the 1930s as a wind‑break for the original CSIRO complex, with a current programme replacing the ageing gums with locally suited varieties.

The street lies a short walk from the refurbished Downer community centre, which now houses a café, a veterinary clinic and a bronze kangaroo sculpture, and borders the local oval bounded by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets. Excellent transport links include nearby Swinden Street Metro station and easy access to the main arterials, while residents can reach Dickson Library, the Dickson Centre, and several primary and secondary schools within a kilometre.
