Nichols Street is set in Downer’s leafy inner‑north streetscape, where the historic pine and gum trees planted as a windbreak for the 1930s CSIRO complex still frame the road, and a current program is replacing the ageing gums with more suitable local varieties. The homes line the street around the local oval bounded by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets, reflecting the suburb’s residential character since its 1960 gazettal.

The location enjoys quick access to Swinden Street Metro station (about 0.8 km) and Northbourne Avenue, linking residents to Canberra’s wider transport network, while the nearby Downer shopping centre, refurbished with a café, veterinary clinic and a bronze kangaroo sculpture, provides everyday services. Within a kilometre walk are the Dickson Library, the Dickson Centre precinct and the Dickson District Playing Fields, rounding out the area’s recreational and cultural amenities.
