Built largely on Mount Goodwin, Macgregor, ACT 2615, is a residential suburb on Belconnen's western flank, with Ginninderra Creek running through its middle. Rental homes here are often freestanding houses on sloping blocks.

Distinct Properties has arranged at least 26 leases in Macgregor, 18 of them since January 2020, when its records became complete.

Gazetted in 1971, Macgregor honours Sir William MacGregor, who governed Queensland and became the University of Queensland's first chancellor, and its streets recognise people from Australian medicine. It sits next to Dunlop, Latham and Holt. Southern Cross Drive runs along its southern side, Ginninderra Drive the northern and Florey Drive the eastern. Most of the suburb rises over Mount Goodwin, Ginninderra Creek crosses the middle, and the Jarramlee-West MacGregor grasslands nearby are protected as a nature reserve.

Macgregor's rental homes are often freestanding houses, many on blocks that slope with Mount Goodwin. Sloping sites can bring retaining walls, steps, split levels and drainage to keep an eye on, along with the usual roof, gutter and heating upkeep of an established house. A well maintained garden and clear paths make a real difference on a hillside block, and owners who keep these in order make inspections simpler and the home more comfortable for tenants.

Renters are drawn by Macgregor's creek and grassland walks, its neighbourhood oval, and the nearby Kippax Fair shopping centre in Holt.

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

Macgregor questions

What should I plan for with a house on Macgregor's hillside streets?

Look at how water moves around the block. Retaining walls, stormwater drains, steps and paths on a slope deserve regular checks, as do gutters and downpipes. We note their condition at the start of each tenancy, look again at routine inspections, and arrange a suitable trade early if we see cracking, pooling water or erosion.

How do you market a rental house in Macgregor?

We photograph the home to show its layout, outdoor areas and any outlook over Mount Goodwin or Ginninderra Creek, then write a description that is accurate about the suburb, nearby shops and transport. The listing goes to the major property websites, and we run inspections at times that suit applicants before recommending a tenant to you.

Rentals in Macgregor 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.
