Property managers in Gowrie, ACT

Gowrie sits at the northern end of the Tuggeranong Valley in the ACT, with local shops on Jeffries Street and the R5 rapid bus running along Ashley Drive. Homes here are almost all freestanding houses, many with four or more bedrooms. Distinct Properties manages rental homes across the Tuggeranong district, including Gowrie, with property management that covers leasing, rent collection and upkeep.

Gowrie's name comes from the first Earl of Gowrie, Governor-General of Australia during the Second World War, and the suburb was gazetted in 1975. Many of its streets honour decorated members of the Australian Defence Force, Victoria Cross recipients among them, and the suburb occupies the former site of the Athllon Homestead. The local shopping centre on Jeffries Street has a supermarket and a pharmacy, and the Gowrie District Playing Fields give room for sport. Hannah Community Park is shared with Fadden. Besides the R5 rapid, routes 76 and 77 connect Gowrie with Erindale and the town centre.

On census figures, Gowrie is close to entirely separate houses, and well over half of them have four or more bedrooms. That points to roomy homes on suburban blocks, the kind that often come with established gardens, a garage and more than one living area. For owners, upkeep tends to centre on the outside of the house as much as the inside: lawns, trees, gutters and fences. We include those areas in every inspection report so nothing quietly builds up between tenancies.

With the R5 rapid service to Erindale, Woden and the City, a supermarket within the suburb and district playing fields for weekend sport, Gowrie suits renters who want everyday needs close by.
