Property managers in Spence, ACT

The R3 rapid bus begins its run to the City and Canberra Airport in Spence, a suburb of the Belconnen district in the ACT set on the slopes of Mount Rogers. Houses and townhouses make up most of its rentals. Across the Belconnen district, including Spence, Distinct Properties manages rental homes, with property management that runs from finding a tenant to organising repairs. Distinct Properties has arranged at least 9 leases in Spence, 6 of them since January 2020, when its records became complete.

Spence carries two names in one: gazetted in 1972 for William Guthrie Spence, a miner who became a union leader and politician, it was later co-named for the reformer and writer Catherine Helen Spence. Its streets carry the names of trade unionists. The suburb shares the slopes of Mount Rogers with Melba, Flynn and Fraser, lies south of Owen Dixon and Kuringa drives, and has Copland Drive and Alpen Street on its other sides. A local shopping centre and a neighbourhood oval serve daily life.

Spence's rentals are mostly houses from the suburb's early decades, with some townhouse developments mixed in. For a house, the jobs that matter tend to be garden care, heating and the age of fixtures, and the ground around Mount Rogers is generally rocky and thin, which suits hardy, low-water planting. Townhouses bring shared areas and owners corporation rules, so it helps to be clear from the outset where the owner's responsibility ends and the complex's begins.

The R3 rapid service starting in Spence is a draw for renters who work in the City, the Russell offices or near the airport, as is the walking circuit around Mount Rogers.

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