Property managers in Fraser, ACT

On Belconnen's north-western fringe, Fraser, ACT 2615, has the Mount Rogers reserve inside its boundaries and the Dunlop Grasslands within walking reach. It is also where the R2 Rapid bus begins. Distinct Properties offers property management across the Belconnen district, Fraser included, looking after leasing, repairs and inspections for house owners.

Fraser was gazetted in 1974 and is named after Jim Fraser, who represented the ACT in the House of Representatives, and its streets remember early Canberra residents. Kuringa Drive runs along its northern edge. The Mount Rogers reserve, crowned by a survey trig point, lies within the suburb, and walkers can reach the Dunlop Grasslands Nature Reserve from Fraser streets. Just outside that reserve, off Shakespeare Crescent, are the ruins of Henry and Mary Hall's home, whose property gave neighbouring Charnwood its name.

Many of Fraser's rental homes are houses dating from the years after gazettal, set among streets that climb the slopes of Mount Rogers. A house of this age can need roof and gutter attention, updated heating or hot water, and refreshed wet areas. With parkland and grassland nearby, grass seed and leaves can arrive from more than one direction, so keeping gutters, screens and garden beds on a regular schedule pays off. A simple, low upkeep garden also makes the home easier for a tenant to keep tidy.

Renters value having the R2 Rapid start in their own suburb, with a direct ride through Belconnen and the City, along with walks on Mount Rogers and the grasslands.
