Australian dams and reservoirs supply Duffy's street names. The suburb was gazetted in 1970 and honours Charles Gavan Duffy, a former head of the Victorian Government. Narrabundah Hill runs along its western edge. The Duffy shops are on Burrinjuck Crescent, where the ACT Government upgraded the play area with a new playground, shade sails, a bike track, a toilet and a ramped path from the street. The R7 rapid and local routes 65 and 66 serve the suburb, linking it with Cooleman Court, the Weston Creek district shopping centre, and the City.
Separate houses make up most of Duffy, with a small share of townhouses and semi-detached homes, and on census figures over half have four or more bedrooms. The suburb dates from the early seventies. For owners, a larger house means more rooms, outdoor space and fittings to keep in order, and an older one can need updates to heating, hot water and wet areas. We document condition thoroughly at the start of each lease and keep the maintenance list current through the tenancy.
Renters like Duffy for its local shops and playground, the R7 rapid service to the City, the slopes of Narrabundah Hill and the trails of Stromlo Forest Park.
Most of the homes we have leased in Duffy are houses.

Duffy questions
Does Duffy's position near Stromlo and Narrabundah Hill matter to renters?
For some applicants it is part of the appeal. Running, cycling and mountain bike trails at Stromlo Forest Park and the slopes of Narrabundah Hill are close by. We mention them in listings alongside the R7 rapid and the Burrinjuck Crescent shops, so applicants who value outdoor space can see what the location offers.
What happens between tenants at a Duffy house?
When a tenancy is ending, we carry out the final inspection, compare the house with its recorded condition at the start, and organise any cleaning, gardening or repairs. At the same time we refresh the photos and listing and line up viewings, so the home is ready to show once it is presentable. You approve any work and the new lease before it is signed.
Rentals in Duffy run under the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (ACT). Our landlord FAQs cover bonds, notice and rent increases. This is general information about ACT tenancy law and real estate agent conduct from Distinct Property Management, a licensed ACT real estate agency, not legal advice.
