Property managers in City, ACT

Commonly called Civic, City is the central business district of Canberra, ACT, and the meeting point of the light rail and the rapid bus network. Its homes are almost entirely apartments. In the City, Distinct Properties manages rental homes, giving apartment owners a property manager who deals with tenants and the building alike.

The City was established as Canberra's commercial centre in 1927, and its division name was gazetted in 1928. The Sydney and Melbourne buildings flanking Northbourne Avenue are among its earliest landmarks, and the Canberra Centre is the main shopping precinct. Garema Place and City Walk are open to pedestrians, Glebe Park offers shade beneath old elms and oaks, and Civic Square gathers the ACT Legislative Assembly, the Canberra Theatre and the Canberra Museum and Gallery.

Homes in the City are nearly all apartments, often in larger buildings with lifts, basement parking and shared facilities. For an owner, the building matters almost as much as the apartment: owners corporation rules, levies, maintenance programs and access arrangements all affect how a tenancy runs. Street noise, deliveries and moving-day lift bookings are practical points to raise with applicants, and a tidy register of keys, fobs and remotes saves trouble at every handover.

Offices, the Canberra Centre and the theatres are a short walk for City renters, and City Interchange and the Alinga Street light rail connect them with most of Canberra.

Most of the homes we have leased in City are apartments.
