Curtin is a top-notch area of Canberra in a great location.

Real estate agent at Cream Residential, Jack Wilson, said Curtin provides a range of buying and price options and has been garnering a lot of attention lately.

“It’s so close to main arterials, whether you want to head to the city or the south, you’re just outside the hustle and bustle but where you need to be in no time. With Woden serviced with everything you could need, and the Curtin shops are being refurbished, it really is a great location,” Mr Wilson said. 

“Our agency have sold many properties in Curtin, and we rate the suburb very highly. Location wise it’s something special.”

Mr Wilson said he loves the green spaces in Curtin and the suburb’s impeccable Radburn design.

“It’s often desired by families, and multiple schooling options with excellent reputations are a great incentive. We have people calling weekly asking if there’s anything in the suburb and it’s high on the wish list for buyers looking to get into the Woden Valley,” he said.

“My favourite spots would be the upper streets of Curtin – Munro, Jennings and Dunstan Street are all exceptional.”

Mr Wilson mentioned the Statesman Hotel is a good pub to visit and said the suburb has some exciting new eateries coming with the refurbishments.
