5 Knibbs Street is a house situated on a 1,451 m² block of land.
The house is about 0.3 km from Canberra City and within walking distance of the Australian National University, with its medical school and football club located roughly 0.7 km away.
Turner contains half of Haig Park, a large pine‑tree reserve, as well as a flood‑drainage reserve and several public sports ovals. A gazetted park lies approximately 0.9 km from the property.
Turner is an example of garden‑city design with wide nature strips, generous roads and original block sizes ranging from 800 m² to 1,400 m². Powerlines are placed behind houses, street lamps are low and pedestrian‑focused, and some footpaths cut across block diagonals.
In the 2021 census Turner had 4,470 residents, 65 % of whom were Australian‑born. Nearly half (48 %) are aged 20‑34, 45 % work as professionals, 38 % live alone, and 60 % reported no religious affiliation.
Turner sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the original “Limestone Plains” of Canberra, and is crossed by several fault lines, including the inactive Acton Fault.
