This is one of those apartments where the location does most of the work, and the layout quietly backs it up.
Set within Gungahlin Town Centre, 221/38 Gozzard Street puts you right where daily life is easy. Light rail, supermarkets, cafs, restaurants and services are all genuinely walkable.
No planning. No driving if you don’t want to. No overthinking it.
The apartment sits on the first floor and faces away from the busy road. It’s calm, private, and gets morning sun, so it feels bright without overheating later in the day.
Inside, the layout is simple and functional.
The kitchen and living area feel genuinely usable. These kitchens are some of the larger ones I see in one-bedroom apartments across Gungahlin, and it shows. The space flows straight out to a proper balcony with room for outdoor furniture and a BBQ. It’s not a decorative outdoor space. It’s space you’ll actually use.
The European laundry is neatly tucked away with a built-in dryer, keeping everything streamlined. Reverse-cycle air conditioning handles Canberra’s seasons, and storage has clearly been thought about, which matters more the longer you live somewhere.
Parking is secure in the basement, with lift access all the way to your level, making day-to-day living easy.
This works as a first home because the location removes friction from daily life, and the apartment itself is comfortable and low stress.
It works as an investment because demand in this pocket is consistent, and the property is already set up with a month-to-month tenancy, giving flexibility for both buyers and landlords.
Nothing flashy.
Nothing forced.
Just a well-positioned apartment that makes sense.
