10 Canberra houses available to rent under $675 a week

Canberra’s roaring property boom has spilled over into the rental market, with asking rents for houses reaching record highs. With Canberra’s median asking rent now at $675 a week, what can tenants get under that price?

In most cases, those looking for an affordable property under the median asking rent would need to look at a townhouse. At $420 a week, tenants could nab themselves a two-bedroom townhouse in Melba.

Those looking for a more spacious three or four-bedroom house would have to venture towards the Gungahlin or Tuggeranong regions for a bit more room. In Kambah, for instance, a three-bedroom house is up for lease right on the median of $675 a week.

With Domain data revealing the capital’s already tight rental market tightened even further in February, to a 0.5 per cent vacancy rate, tenants are feeling the squeeze when looking for their next rental property.

So we’ve gathered 10 of our favourite properties available for rent right now, but get in quickly to secure your next home.
