Offering a range of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, including dual-level loft-style options, De Burgh is located just 3km from the city centre. Right across the road from the light rail, the location is well connected and will benefit from further transit connectivity as the service expands.

The Eastbourne
62 Constitution Avenue, Parkes, ACT 2600

Inside, each private residence features 2.7m high ceilings, Miele appliances, granite benchtops and engineered timber floors.
Ducted heating and cooling keep these homes perfectly comfortable throughout even Canberra’s chilliest winter days, while floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows in many rooms let the light – and surrounding cityscapes – into each home.
