Overview

Reid sits directly beside Civic, making it one of Canberra’s oldest and most centrally positioned suburbs. Established in the late‑1920s to house public servants for the new Parliament House, it retains a Garden City layout that is now heritage‑listed, and its streets honour Aboriginal words. With a population of 1,544 people recorded in the 2021 census, the area attracts many professionals, students and young adults, drawn by the historic St John the Baptist Church, the city’s oldest, and the nearby Canberra Institute of Technology.

The housing stock reflects a balanced mix: only 36 % are separate houses, while 22 % are semi‑detached or terrace homes and a striking 41 % are flats or apartments, far above the national averages. Residents enjoy immediate access to green spaces such as Reid Park and Glebe Park, as well as a concentration of national memorials along ANZAC Parade, the ceremonial boulevard that links the suburb to Lake Burley Griffin and the Australian War Memorial. This proximity to major roads and Civic’s transport hub provides easy connections for work, study and leisure.
