Browse property in Atherton Street

Atherton Street sits within Downer, Canberra’s inner‑north suburb bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue. The streetscape is shaded by mature gum and pine trees planted in the 1930s as a windbreak for the former CSIRO research facilities, with a programme now replacing disease‑affected specimens.

Residents benefit from close public‑transport links, with Swinden Street Metro station and the Dickson Interchange both within a kilometre, and direct access to the surrounding arterial roads. Nearby amenities include a refurbished shopping centre featuring a café, a veterinary clinic and a bronze kangaroo sculpture, as well as the local oval, Dickson Library, Dickson District Playing Fields and other community facilities.
