Lyneham features leafy streets and established gardens, with a mix of original 1950s‑60s homes and newer, renovated properties. The area has been progressively gentrified while retaining its historic charm.
The suburb sits on Silurian calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, and includes limestone known historically as the "Limestone Plains".
