Reviews of Acton, ACT
"Student Hub of the National Capital"
Acton is the intellectual centre of Canberra. It has a large student population, most of which are housed in rental accommodation. It has a lively nightlife and restaurant culture. It is the home of apartment living as over 90% of the accommodation available is in high rise dwellings. However, it is a very expensive place to buy housing as there is little residential development due to the fact that most of the land in the suburb is occupied by the university, CSIRO, National Film and Sound Archive and the National Museum.
