Browse property in Blacket Street

Blacket Street runs through Downer, an inner‑north Canberra suburb characterised by mature pine and gum trees that were planted in the 1930s as a wind‑break for the original CSIRO research facilities; a recent program is replacing the older, diseased gums with more suitable local varieties. The street is framed by the suburb’s typical low‑rise residential homes and a nearby oval bordered by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets, while the refurbished Downer shopping centre offers a café, a veterinary clinic and a bronze kangaroo sculpture.

The location enjoys strong public‑transport links, with Swinden Street Metro station just 0.8 km away and easy access to Northbourne and Phillip Avenues. Residents also benefit from a range of nearby amenities including Dickson Library, Dickson Centre, Dickson Wetland and several schools and playing fields within a kilometre radius.
