Scullin has fluctuated in a lot of areas since 1968. With the expansion of the Belconnen and Gungahlin areas Scullin is now considered a very central and convenient place to live. A quiet and leafy area, with well built houses and low crime rates, Scullin is quickly becoming the next “Million dollar suburb”. Property value is quickly rising in 2021 and also was the 4th highest performing suburb in 2017. With about 1300 dwellings in the area, many built on decent sized blocks of land, Scullin is big enough to harbour a good community spirit (Federal member Andrew Leigh’s Canberra Community Champions - Oct 2020) yet small enough to be quiet and safe. The local shops had seen a sharp decline during the 1990’s/2000’s but is slowly being reenergised. Still a fair way to go before it becomes the once busy, and much loved suburban hub it used to be in the 70’s, 80’s and early 1990’s. With savvy business investors I can easily envisage the Scullin shops being on par with the Cook shops precinct or even better.
