Property managers in Forde, ACT

Forde backs onto the Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary on the northern edge of Canberra's Gungahlin district, ACT. Most rentals are detached houses, with some townhouses, and a large share of the suburb's land is set aside for parks and wetlands. Distinct Properties manages rental homes in Forde, providing property management for leasing, inspections and maintenance. Distinct Properties has arranged at least 24 leases in Forde, 22 of them since January 2020, when its records became complete.

Forde remembers Frank Forde, who led the country for about a week after John Curtin died, and was gazetted in 1992. Its street theme is community service. The main entrance to the Mulligans Flat reserve, with parking, is on Amy Ackman Street in Forde, and the reserve protects box-gum woodland inside a predator-proof fence. Within the suburb, landscaped parks, wetlands and nature trails put homes close to green space, and two bus loops through Forde, Bonner and Amaroo start and end at Gungahlin Place.

Homes in Forde are modern, built since settlement began less than two decades ago, and most are detached houses with gardens, along with some townhouses. For an owner, the outdoor spaces deserve as much attention as the interior: lawns, garden beds, irrigation and fencing all show at inspections. Heating, cooling and hot water systems need routine servicing, and early building defects are worth raising with the builder while warranty cover still applies.

For renters, Forde means trails at Mulligans Flat, parks and wetlands close to home, and a bus ride to Gungahlin Place for the light rail.

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