Bruce is one of Canberra’s most centrally located suburbs and has been slowly but surely rising in the popularity ranks in recent years. At the heart of this stunning area, which is filled with green parks aplenty and bush surrounds, is sport and education.
Bruce is home to the Australian Institute of Sport, the GIO Stadium (which is the home of the Canberra Raiders and Brumbies’ rugby teams), as well as some of the state’s top educational facilities, including the University of Canberra, the Canberra Institute of Technology and one of Canberra’s most prestigious schools, Radford College.
Calvary Public Hospital, one of the ACT’s top teaching hospitals, is also located in Bruce and is renowned for its high-quality patient care, innovative research programs, and state-of-the-art medical technology.
Lifestyle
Bruce is considered the intellectual HQ of Canberra and has become somewhat of a quiet achiever in recent years. Named after Prime Minister Stanley Bruce, this very Aussie-sounding suburb has become one of the most popular places to live in Canberra — and it’s easy to see why. Living in Bruce offers a central location and easy access to public transportation, meaning residents can easily explore all that Canberra has to offer. The suburb is also home to the University of Canberra and the Australian Institute of Sport, making it a popular destination for students and sports enthusiasts. Because of this, it means Bruce is a young, lively suburb with the median age of residents being 27.
