Case study: No shortage of attractions in Tuggeranong

21 MOUNTAIN CIRCUIT, CALWELL

Plenty of opportunities to exercise and a growing cafe lifestyle are two of the reasons Nick and Sheridan Brill have called Tuggeranong home for the past eight years.

The couple first moved into a townhouse in Bonython but enjoyed the area so much that two years later they bought a house in Calwell.

Nick, who grew up in Woden, says the wide open spaces were part of the attraction of the region. “We like getting out for walks with our dogs or running or cycling and there are just so many options – from the lake to trails in the many reserves,” he says.

“It’s just great – you’re never too far away from nature and there’s always a view of the Brindabellas.”

Nick works in Woden and Sheridan, as a teacher in Wanniassa. They say the easy drives to work is another attraction.

“We also eat out a few times each week and there are plenty of options on Anketell Street or the Hyperdome,” Nick says.

“There are any number of lovely restaurants or sports clubs to choose from.”

“Tuggeranong is a family-friendly environment and it’s a great place to live with plenty of good schools, ovals and play areas for children.”
