Highly sought after by families with school aged children, Palmerston is a safe suburb with a relaxed atmosphere and numerous large homes with spectacular views.

Agent from MARQ Property, Sam Taylor, is a Palmerston real estate expert and has spent an abundance of time trailing through the suburb.

โ€œA lot of families buy property in Palmerston. It has originated close to Gungahlin, has a great primary school thatโ€™s geographically close to the town centre, and has a lot of big blocks with older homes, so thereโ€™s more room for the kids to play,โ€ Mr Taylor says.  

โ€œAs an office, MARQ Property have sold plenty of homes in Palmerston, ranging from big five-bedroom homes all the way down to little two-bedroom homes.

โ€œThe smallest property you can get in Palmerston is a two-bedroom townhouse, thereโ€™s no apartments, and the most popular real estate are the big houses that back onto the reserve.โ€

Mr Taylor said the Gungaderra Grasslands Nature Reserve that borders along Palmerston is a beautiful part of Canberra to enjoy a bushwalk.

โ€œThereโ€™s a great takeaway Argentinian restaurant, and some nice shops as well as a little IGA at the local shopping centre,โ€ he says.

โ€œItโ€™s for sure family-friendly, the shops are right next to the school, and has great arterial access.โ€
