Surrounded by a range of spectacular Nature Reserves and the picturesque Murrumbidgee River, Kambah is the largest suburb in Canberra and one of the first areas to be built in Tuggeranong.

Sales consultant at ONE Agency and Kambah resident, Zac Morris, said the suburb offers a range of different properties to suit any potential demographic of buyer.  

“It has architecturally designed homes, median density housing, standard ex-government housing on large blocks, prestigious homes around the Murrumbidgee Country Club, elevated homes on the base of Mount Taylor, properties with amazing views, and a retirement village … so definitely a wide range of properties,” Mr Morris said.

“Typically, the blocks are large, so people will appreciate the room. In the 1970s it did have a pretty bad reputation, but over the past couple of decades it’s become a great suburb to live in.”

Mr Morris grew up in Kambah, his whole family live in the suburb, and said it’s where he’s decided to raise his 15-month-old son.

“We love our son growing up here, he goes to a fantastic day care, an awesome swim school, he loves the Kambah Adventure Playground, and there’s heaps of local cafés and greenbelts in the area,” he said.

“In the past year, I’ve sold about 30 properties in Kambah, and I’d say the demographic of the suburb is about 50 per cent couples with children, but there’s also a lot of first home buyers as it’s more affordable than the Inner South or Woden Valley.”

Well positioned and covering such a large area, Mr Morris said the view is that Kambah’s infrastructure will be improved because the sizeable population can justify it.

“If you’re buying a house in Canberra and have ruled out Tuggeranong, you should reconsider Kambah. It has so many different types of properties on offer that you should check out,” he said.

“There are fantastic benefits to Kambah, and the location is great.”

According to realestate.com.au, the Kambah median house price in October 2020 was $635,000 and had grown to $755,500 by September 2021.
