Swinden Street runs as the original CSIRO driveway linking the former research facility to Northbourne Avenue, and it was once lined with large Camden Woolybutt gum and pine trees planted in the 1930s; most of those mature gums have been removed following a replacement program that began in the 1980s. The street sits within the inner‑north suburb of Downer, bounded by Northbourne Avenue, Antill Street and Philip Avenue, and is flanked by the historic Downer community centre and shops.

Residents enjoy easy access to public transport, with the Canberra Metro station only about 0.8 km away, and the street is a short walk to the refurbished shopping precinct that now hosts a café, a veterinary clinic and a bronze kangaroo sculpture unveiled in 2019. Proximity to the local oval and nearby amenities such as Dickson Library, Dickson Centre and the Dickson District Playing Fields further enhance the convenience of living on Swinden Street.
