13 Merriman Place, Airds NSW 2560, Australia
The house offers four bedrooms and sits on a 628 m² block. This provides ample space for a family or for flexible living arrangements.
Airds was originally built using the American Radburn design, which separates vehicular traffic from pedestrian pathways. This layout means many homes do not face the road directly.
Several parks are within walking distance, including Kevin Wheatley Reserve (≈0.2 km), Riverside Park (≈0.2 km), Riley Park (≈0.2 km) and Wheatley Memorial Park (≈0.6 km). These green spaces offer recreational areas for residents.
The Tharawal Aboriginal Corporation is just 0.1 km away, and the Airds/Bradbury Men's Shed is nearby, providing social and activity space for locals. Both serve as community hubs in the area.
The Airds Renewal Project aims to reduce public housing from 94 % to about 30 %, adding roughly 1,000 new homes and 52 senior‑housing units, plus new roads and upgraded parks. The redevelopment is intended to create a more socially mixed community with better services.
Residents can access the WorkVentures Connect Centre, which offers free training, computer access and legal advice, as well as the Airds/Bradbury Men's Shed that provides activity and community space. Both centres help improve employment prospects and social wellbeing.
Governor Lachlan Macquarie named the area after his wife Elizabeth’s Scottish family estate, also called Airds. The name was officially approved for the suburb in May 1976.
