Property managers in Griffith, ACT

Gazetted in 1928, Griffith in the ACT's inner south holds the Manuka shopping centre and some twenty parks. Rentals there are mainly apartments, with units, houses and townhouses too. Our team at Distinct Properties manages rental homes in Griffith, where much of our property management involves working closely with owners corporations on behalf of apartment owners. Distinct Properties has arranged at least 93 leases in Griffith, 87 of them since January 2020, when its records became complete.

In 1928 the southern part of Blandfordia became Griffith, named for Sir Samuel Griffith, the High Court's inaugural Chief Justice, and its streets honour explorers. Several streets follow Walter Burley Griffin's original designs. The Manuka shopping centre, Manuka Oval, the Manuka swimming pool and St Paul's Church are local landmarks, Griffith Oval is ringed by mature trees, and parkland covers a notable share of the suburb. The R6 rapid bus runs through Griffith and past the Manuka shops.

These days apartments account for much of Griffith's rental housing, alongside older units and inner south houses, some within a heritage-listed Blandfordia precinct built for public servants in the suburb's first years. An apartment owner works with an owners corporation on levies and common property, while a house in the heritage precinct may need careful, like-for-like repairs. Knowing which you have shapes the maintenance plan from the very start.

Renters choose Griffith for the Manuka shops and dining, the parks and sports grounds, and the R6 rapid link to the City, Woden and the Canberra Hospital.

Most of the homes we have leased in Griffith are apartments.
