Modelled from 146,492 Australian auction sales (2021–2026). Canberra cells run on the base model (suburb prior + configuration + time) without the Sydney-only land/school/transport features — ranges are honest about the wider uncertainty. Estimates from comparable auction results — not valuations or financial advice.

Schools whose ADDRESS is in Palmerston — residents are often zoned to schools in neighbouring suburbs too; check the actual zone for any address at education.act.gov.au (priority enrolment areas). ICSEA is the socio-educational advantage of a school's community (national average ~1000) — a demographic measure, not a quality or results score.

Getting to the CBD — peak, from the suburb centre

About ~56 min door-to-CBD: 29 min walk to Gungahlin Place (light rail) + ~3 min typical peak wait + 24 min scheduled ride.

Transport Canberra GTFS (light rail) (open data) — scheduled weekday services, rail family only (buses excluded); walk = suburb centre to nearest station, crow-flies ×1.3 at 80 m/min; wait = half AM-peak headway capped at 6 min; ride = median scheduled time to the CBD hub. Estimates for the suburb CENTRE — your block differs.
