Property managers in Calwell, ACT

Gazetted in 1975, Calwell is an established Tuggeranong suburb in southern Canberra, ACT, lying between Tuggeranong Hill and the Tuggeranong Homestead, close to the Monaro Highway. Its rental homes are mostly houses. Distinct Properties manages rental homes in Calwell, and our property management covers leasing, inspections, maintenance and regular reporting to owners.

Calwell takes its name from the Labor politician Arthur Calwell, and its streets are named after Victorian politicians. The suburb name was gazetted in 1975. Tuggeranong Hill forms its southern edge, its woodland reserve offering a steep summit track with views across the Tuggeranong Valley, and the historic Tuggeranong Homestead lies to the north. The Calwell group centre on Webber Crescent serves Calwell along with Theodore, Richardson and Isabella Plains, and the Monaro Highway gives a direct route to the city.

Houses are the mainstay of Calwell's rentals, with only the odd apartment. The suburb's schools opened from the late eighties and its group centre arrived in the early nineties, so many houses have three decades or more behind them. Owners should expect to replace hot water systems, heaters and ovens at some point, keep roofs and gutters sound, and refresh paint and flooring between tenancies. Yards and fences need regular care, and we agree garden responsibilities in writing before each lease begins.

The R5 rapid bus to Woden, the City and Belconnen, the shops and services at the Calwell group centre, and walks on Tuggeranong Hill bring renters to Calwell.

Most of the homes we have leased in Calwell are houses.
