Property managers in Throsby, ACT

Set beside Goorooyarroo and Mulligans Flat nature reserves, Throsby is a Gungahlin suburb on the north-eastern edge of Canberra, ACT. Most rentals here are townhouses, with some houses and apartments, and all are relatively recent. Distinct Properties manages rental homes in Throsby and offers full property management, from finding and screening tenants to inspections and repairs. Distinct Properties has arranged at least 36 leases in Throsby, all of them since January 2020, when its records became complete.

Throsby takes its name from Charles Throsby, an explorer remembered for opening country beyond the Blue Mountains to early farming. Horse Park Drive forms its southern limit and the New South Wales border its northern one, with Harrison and Kenny as neighbours. Goorooyarroo and Mulligans Flat nature reserves adjoin the suburb, with the hill known as Old Joe standing on the border, and an open space corridor along Gungaderra Creek connects nearby Franklin and Harrison through to the reserves.

Townhouses make up most of what is rented in Throsby, alongside houses and a smaller number of apartments. Every home here was built after the ACT Government first released the land for sale, so the stock is recent and generally needs less repair work than older suburbs. Townhouse owners share common property through an owners corporation, which shapes insurance, shared driveways and visitor parking, and gardens are often compact courtyards. Native planting is encouraged here because the threatened Superb Parrot breeds in the reserve next door.

What brings renters to Throsby is the woodland on its doorstep, cycling on the Centenary Trail through Goorooyarroo, and bus routes 21 and 22, with the Gungahlin Town Centre close by.

Most of the homes we have leased in Throsby are townhouses.
