Evatt was gazetted in 1972 and takes its name from Herbert Vere Evatt, a High Court justice who later led the federal Opposition, which is why its streets recall parliamentarians and lawyers. Its neighbours are Spence, Melba, Florey, Belconnen and McKellar. In colonial times part of this land was Glebe Farm, given to support the Ginninderra church of St Paul, and an early school ran from the church building. Today Evatt has three neighbourhood ovals and a set of local shops on Heydon Place.

Evatt's rentals tend to be freestanding houses built in the decade or so after the suburb was named. Houses of that era commonly have generous yards and established trees, together with original features that age at different rates: roofs and gutters, heating, hot water and wet areas. Owners usually find a house like this easier to manage by spreading upgrades over several years, dealing first with anything that affects daily comfort, and keeping the garden at a level a tenant can realistically maintain.

What draws renters to Evatt is green space within walking distance, the local shops on Heydon Place, and Belconnen's town centre a short trip away.

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