Forrest is known for relatively large residential blocks, often 1,600 m² or more, with 2,000 m² being common. At 801 m², this lot is smaller than the traditional block size for the suburb.
The property is close to several heritage precincts, including the Forrest Fire Station Precinct (about 0.2 km away) and the Blandfordia Housing Precincts that reflect Canberra’s original Garden City planning.
Within roughly 0.3–0.5 km you’ll find the Manuka shopping area, Manuka Oval stadium, the Greater Union Manuka cinema, and the Free Serbian Orthodox Church. A nearby hotel, Rydges Canberra, is also just 0.3 km from the address.
Forrest is the second most socio‑economically advantaged suburb in Australia, with a high proportion of professionals and median weekly personal incomes more than double the national average.
The suburb features circular and geometric street patterns derived from Walter Burley Griffin’s original plan, which can make navigation a bit confusing for drivers.
St Christopher’s Cathedral (0.2 km) and the Manning Clark House (about 0.4 km) are prominent cultural landmarks nearby, alongside historic churches such as St Paul’s in Manuka.
