Ainslie is well known for many things: its thriving local shopping centre with Edgar’s pub, busy restaurants, and a family-owned supermarket. Community ties are strong with two primary schools and a local football club. The environment is influenced by the ‘garden city movement’ with parks and gardens integrated into the suburb’s plan.
One of the most unique features of Ainslie is its position between the city and the bush. Understandably, many people know it as a coveted place to live. Not only does it have large established suburban blocks, tree-lined streets and garden city ideals, it is also positioned – actually, nestled – at the base of Mt Ainslie with reserve and bush as its backdrop.
Ainslie’s enviable position offers an active and varied lifestyle thanks to its connectedness to nature and its closeness to Canberra’s vibrant, cosmopolitan attractions.
