Property managers in Florey, ACT

Florey, ACT 2615, lies close to the Belconnen Town Centre, with its own shopping centre on Kesteven Street and Ratcliffe Crescent and streets named after Australian scientists. Its homes include houses, townhouses, units and apartments. Distinct Properties manages rental homes in Florey, and our property management adapts to each home type, from a freestanding house to a unit in a complex.

Florey was gazetted in 1975 and honours Howard Florey, joint winner of the Nobel Prize for his work on penicillin, a story told on a bronze plaque at the local shops. Before houses arrived, the land was open paddock used for sheep, falling towards Ginninderra Creek in the north. The shopping centre on Kesteven Street and Ratcliffe Crescent covers daily needs, and the Belconnen Town Centre is close by. Along Tattersall Crescent, a concrete drain has been reshaped into a more natural creek line that slows stormwater on its way to Ginninderra Creek.

Florey was planned with a strong share of medium density housing, and most of it was finished within about a dozen years of gazettal. That history shows in the rental mix, where freestanding houses sit alongside townhouse groups, units and some apartments. Homes of this age can need updated heating, hot water and wet areas, and medium density complexes add owners corporation rules and shared maintenance. Owners of units and townhouses here find it useful to know exactly which repairs are theirs and which belong to the owners corporation.

Florey's closeness to the Belconnen Town Centre, its own local shops, and the paths along Ginninderra Creek are what bring many renters to the suburb.
