De Burgh: The suburban retreat in Canberra's high-energy inner-north precinct
As the bustling Northbourne Village continues to establish itself as a prime destination in Canberra’s inner-north precinct, De Burgh stands out as the perfect place to call home.
With Embark already fully occupied and The Sullivan also completed by prominent developer JWLand, De Burgh is becoming the go-to location for those seeking a vibrant lifestyle that offers both convenience and relaxation.
Northbourne Village offers the perfect balance of city and suburban life. Residents can explore the heritage-listed sites in Lyneham, one of Canberra’s oldest suburbs, or head over to the lively Braddon and Dickson for cafes, boutique shops, and eateries.
One of the most appealing aspects of De Burgh is the easy access to the city centre, which is only three kilometres away. Residents can hop onto the light rail that runs right past their door and be in the heart of Canberra within a matter of minutes.
Getting around is a breeze in De Burgh. The Sullivans Creek bike path is easily accessible, with off-road connections to local centres, the Australian National University (ANU), and beyond. For those who prefer to drive, the Federal and Barton highways are just minutes away, and Canberra International Airport is only 13 minutes by car.
At De Burgh, residents are spoiled for choice when it comes to leisure activities. Dickson, just across the road, offering a range of Asian specialties, as well as Italian, Middle Eastern, and modern Australian cuisines with a variety of dining, shopping, and socialising options.
The Sullivans Creek wetlands are also just steps away, providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
The Saturday morning farmers’ market at Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) offers fresh produce from the Canberra region, and there are many playgrounds, schools, and early childhood centres in the area.
For sports enthusiasts, Lyneham is home to the National Hockey Centre, the Canberra Tennis Centre, and the ACT Netball Centre. The Yowani Country Club offers an opportunity to work on your golf game, while the local bike and jogging paths are perfect for fitness enthusiasts. Those who prefer a gentler physical outlet can hike through the nearby O’Connor Ridge Nature Reserve.
Residents of De Burgh can also indulge in a variety of dining options. Tilly's Devine Cafe and Gallery, a local institution in Lyneham, is right on their doorstep. Turkish Pide & Kebabs, also in Lyneham, is known for drawing customers from all over Canberra.
Braddon, just a short walk away, offers even more cosmopolitan eating options, along with excellent coffee, craft breweries, and a gin bar. And for those looking for a more formal dining experience, Canberra’s city centre is just a short light rail trip from home.
