Browse property in New South Wales Crescent

New South Wales Crescent lies in the inner‑south Manuka precinct of Canberra, an area that stretches across Griffith and Forrest and is bounded to the north by Manuka Circle, one of Walter Burley Griffin’s original street‑layout features named after the native mānuka tree. The streetscape here mixes the Federal Capital‑style public buildings that anchor the heritage‑listed Manuka Oval, Manuka Swimming Pool and St Christopher’s Cathedral with a contemporary retail frontage of cafés, restaurants and nightclubs that have replaced the earlier utilitarian shops.

Local bus shelters at Stuart Street (0.2 km) and Giles Street (0.7 km) give residents easy access to the city’s transport network, while a short walk brings the neighbourhood’s amenities within reach: the Greater Union Manuka cinema, the former Capitol Theatre site, the Russian Embassy, the Alejandro Malaspina Resource Center library, several parks (Captain Cook Park, Manuka Park, Janzs Park) and a range of boutique shops and eateries that define the area’s lively commercial centre.
