Garran honours Sir Robert Garran, who played a prominent part in the push for Federation, and Australian writers lend their names to its streets. Gazetted in 1966, Garran has the Canberra Hospital campus as its major landmark, with the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children within the same site. Parts of Garran were laid out on the Radburn model, and Davidson Hill, part of Red Hill Nature Reserve, rises on its eastern side. The Rapid R6 runs through Garran and the hospital between the Woden Interchange, Kingston, the City and Belconnen.

Distinct Properties leases both freestanding houses and apartments in Garran. Many houses date from the suburb's early years, and there are older townhouse groups too, so owners often weigh up updates to kitchens, bathrooms and heating. Apartment owners deal with owners corporation levies, building rules and shared facilities instead of gardens and fences. Because the hospital campus is a large workplace close by, we describe the walk or bus trip to it clearly in listings, as it is often among the first things applicants ask.

Garran puts the Canberra Hospital campus within easy reach, the Rapid R6 and route 57 connect it with the Woden Interchange and the City, and the Woden town centre is next door in Phillip.

Garran questions

Does living near Canberra Hospital matter to people renting in Garran?

For many applicants it does. The hospital is a large tertiary campus, and the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children shares the site, so it is a major workplace within the suburb itself. We mention the walk to the campus, the Rapid R6 and route 57 in listings, and we note off-street parking or garages, which applicants regularly ask about.

Can I lease my Garran apartment furnished?

Yes, both furnished and unfurnished work. A furnished apartment can appeal to applicants relocating to Canberra in a hurry, but it needs a detailed inventory with photos, insurance that covers the contents, and a plan for replacing worn items. We help you decide which suits your apartment, then record every item and its condition at the start of the tenancy.

Rentals in Garran 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. Rules differ in NSW and other states. For a dispute, contact the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT) or a Canberra tenancy advocate.
