Known as the location of the Australian Prime Minister’s home and of the Royal Australian Mint, Deakin is only a short distance from Parliament House.
This premium suburb has some of the most expensive houses in the ACT. However, demand seems undeterred, as price growth continues on. Rent rates are quite steep as well at over $700 a week – even then, investors don’t reap a significant profit at an average rental return of 3.1%.
The suburb was only fully built after World War 2, and contains many heritage sites. These include the Prime Minister’s Lodge, the Canberra Girls’ Grammar School Boarding House and the Deakin Anticline. Despite being primarily residential, Deakin also has a shopping centre situated on Hopetoun Circuit which has an IGA supermarket and restaurants. Alfred Deakin High School has been established here as well.
