Browse property in Atherton Street

Atherton Street lies in Downer, an inner‑north Canberra suburb bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue, giving the road direct connections to the city’s main arterial routes. The streetscape mixes modest residential homes with the 1930s CSIRO‑era community centre and its mature pine and gum plantings, while the nearby Swinden Street Metro station (0.8 km) and Dickson Interchange (1.1 km) provide rapid public‑transport links.

Residents can step out to a local oval and a refurbished shopping precinct that now houses a café, a veterinary clinic and a bronze kangaroo sculpture unveiled in 2019. Within easy reach are the Dickson Library, Dickson Centre, Dickson District Playing Fields and several schools, including Dickson College and Emmaus Christian School.
