Bruce, ACT 2617

Bruce is one of the least homogenous suburbs in Canberra, and is really a suburb in three parts. When most people think of Bruce, they probably think of East Bruce, which has north Canberra’s only hospital, a significant sports precinct as well as technology precinct. East Bruce, however, has plenty of residential homes, ranging from flats to houses. Bruce Ridge is much beloved by cyclists for its mountain bike trails. North Bruce belongs to the University of Canberra, which has uni rezzies. Demographically speaking, Bruce has the youngest median age in the Belconnen district and quite probably the whole of Canberra. This is probably due partly to the student population. South Bruce is quite posh, and has some of the most expensive houses in the Belconnen district. Since the pandemic, more than half a dozen houses have sold here for between $2m and $3m, which is not that common on the northside of Canberra.

Bruce is located 6 kms north west of the city. It is a greatly sought after suburb, especially for those in the 20-40 age group. It is the sports centre of Canberra with the Canberra Stadium home of the Canberra Raiders and Brumbies and the Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre not to mention the Australian Institute of Sport.
It is also an intellectual hub with the University of Canberra, the Canberra Institute of Technology and Radford College. It is only a short drive to the shopping precinct in Belconnen and the nightlife in Dickson and the city centre.
