Red Hill is home to several heritage‑listed locations such as Calthorpes' House, the Royal Australian Institute of Architects headquarters at 2a Mugga Way, and the historic 145 Mugga Way residence. These sites reflect the suburb’s 1920s garden‑city planning and later twentieth‑century architecture.
The property is set close to the Red Hill ridge, part of the Canberra Nature Park, offering bushland walks with native birds, kangaroos, and a mix of exotic and local vegetation. The ridge forms the south‑west boundary of the suburb and provides scenic views over the Canberra valley.
Red Hill sits on erosion‑residual soils known as terra rossa, derived from the Yarralumla Formation sediments that have been metamorphosed by a granite intrusion. The underlying tonalite intrusion, dating to about 417 ± 8 million years ago, contributes to the deep red soils on the lower slopes.
The suburb is accessed from the south via Hindmarsh Drive onto Mugga Way or Dalrymple Street. Main internal thoroughfares include La Perouse Street, Flinders Way and Monaro Crescent, all named after ships and explorers.
