Browse property in Blacket Street

Blacket Street sits in Downer, an inner‑north Canberra suburb bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Phillip Avenue. The streetscape is shaded by mature pine and gum trees planted during the 1930s CSIRO era, with a programme to replace aging gums, and the suburb’s streets bear no specific naming theme, giving the residential area a varied character.

The location enjoys strong public‑transport links, including Swinden Street Metro station about 0.8 km away and the Dickson Interchange roughly 1.1 km distant. Within easy walking distance are the refurbished Downer shopping centre – now home to a café, a vet clinic and a bronze kangaroo sculpture – and a local oval bordered by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets, providing convenient leisure amenities for residents.
