Harrison is named after Peter Harrison, the city planner who championed a return to Walter Burley Griffin's design for Canberra. Gazetted in 1991, it takes its place names from natural landforms such as waterfalls and tablelands. Two heritage-listed places sit within the suburb, Gungaderra Homestead and the Well Station Homestead Precinct, and the Old Well Station Track links them through neighbouring Franklin to the Town Centre. Light rail on Flemington Road runs to the city and to the Gungahlin Town Centre, and Mitchell and Throsby are next door.
Harrison's housing is modern and varied, with apartment complexes, townhouse developments and detached houses through the residential streets. Newer homes tend to need less structural repair, yet owners still face ongoing items: servicing heating, cooling and hot water, garden care on houses, and owners corporation processes for shared driveways, roofs and common areas in complexes. For apartments, building defects and strata decisions can affect the timing of repairs, so clear communication between owner, strata manager and renter matters.
Renters choose Harrison for light rail along Flemington Road, the nearby Gungahlin Town Centre, and the heritage walking track between Well Station and Gungaderra Homestead.

Harrison questions
Is Harrison convenient for renters who commute to the city?
Yes. The light rail runs along Flemington Road on the edge of Harrison, with direct services to the Gungahlin Town Centre and the city. How far a particular home is from the nearest station varies, so we measure the walk and include it in the listing, along with bus connections and parking, so applicants get an accurate picture.
What should an owner of a Harrison townhouse plan for?
Expect owners corporation levies and the complex's rules on common areas, parking and exterior changes. Inside, plan for routine servicing of heating, cooling and hot water, and small repairs to fixtures as the home ages. Courtyards need care too. We track all of this at routine inspections and send you photos and quotes before arranging approved work.
Rentals in Harrison 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.
