Suburban living with the luxury of city conveniences, the inner suburb of Belconnen within the Belconnen district is fast becoming a popular and trendy place to reside in Canberra.

Ray White Canberra’s Andrew Lonsdale has been selling in the Belconnen region for around 12 years, with well over 120 sold properties under his belt.

“I love the atmosphere down on the foreshore, and the diversity of development in Belconnen is quite amazing,” Mr Lonsdale said.

“The region has a great design into the town centre, and the various shopping centres surrounding the town make it a really convenient place to live.

“It doesn’t have a tram line, but you don’t really need it. Traffic comes in and out in all directions and it’s close enough to be able to get to work in Woden or Tuggeranong, and close enough to the City. It’s a superb location with a super exciting future down the track with the redevelopment of the Belconnen Markets.”

The surrounding natural features of the Belconnen town centre are close by. In particular, Mr Lonsdale said he loves the views of Black Mountain and Mount Stromlo.

“It’s definitely a place where families want to live.”
