Nestled in Weston Creek, prestigious, and home to an array of diplomats, the suburb of Chapman is an excellent place to raise your family. Flanked by a nature reserve, Chapman boasts a highly regarded primary school and beautiful homes on sizeable blocks.
Agent at LJ Hooker Weston Creek, Jane Kusetic has sold around 20 properties in Chapman over her career and says it’s an absolutely “beautiful” suburb.
She says there are 964 properties across the suburb with 65 units, and most are built on “big blocks with exceptional views”.
“Its demographic is pretty much families, with the predominant age group being people in their 50s, and usually well-established families who have been there for quite some time because a lot of the houses are quite large, so they’re good family homes.
“Chapman is really well regarded. It has a lot of upper echelon houses, big houses with really good views in enclaves, and there are cul-de-sacs off the main road with exceptional views over Canberra.
“People really look after their homes in Chapman. They really care about their houses, which may be older, but they’re much loved and everyone looks after their lawns, and their gardens are nice.”
Ms Kusetic says Chapman Primary School is one of the most highly-rated primary schools in Canberra and is “really well respected” and the local shops are “family-friendly”.
Her favourite spots in Chapman are the Sin Yau Garden Chinese Restaurant, Cooleman Ridge, which has great views and walking trails, the Chapman Café, and Pastries on Perry, while Cooleman Court in Weston is just a stone’s throw away.
