Property managers in Macarthur, ACT

Macarthur is a small suburb on the north side of Isabella Drive in Tuggeranong, ACT, next to Fadden and Gilmore, with part of the Wanniassa Hills bushland inside its boundary. Renters get roomy houses and buses along Coyne Street. Distinct Properties manages rental homes across the Tuggeranong district, including Macarthur, taking care of leasing and upkeep through its property management service.

Gazetted in 1982 and first settled the next year, Macarthur is named after John Macarthur, who helped establish the Merino wool industry in Australia, and its street names follow a wool theme. Wanniassa Hills Nature Reserve adjoins the suburb, with a lookout over Woden and Tuggeranong and wildflowers on its slopes in spring. Coyne Street carries routes 74, 75 and 76, and before the houses went up it formed part of a motorcycle racing circuit, with streets such as Jackie Howe Crescent and Carson Street also used for races.

Macarthur is almost all separate houses, and in the census most have four or more bedrooms, which makes it a suburb of larger homes. Owners letting one of these houses are usually looking after generous living space, a garage and a garden that can sit close to bushland. That can mean extra attention to gutters, leaf litter and outdoor areas, especially before winter, alongside the usual servicing of heating and hot water. Keeping a simple maintenance calendar makes those jobs predictable.

Renters like the space these houses offer, the walking tracks of the Wanniassa Hills and the Erindale Centre a short drive away.

Most of the homes we have leased in Macarthur are houses.
