Thanks for that rapid explainer. Now tell me, what are the benefits of estate living?
1. Amenities right on your doorstep
Developer communities allow you to create the lifestyle you want. How? By providing a range of amenities. With everything from parks, gyms and playgrounds, to public transport, schools and shopping centres just a stone throws away.
As one of Victoria’s leading developers, Stockland is well versed when it comes to estate living. ‘At Stockland, our communities allow you to spend more time on the things you value,’ says Regional Marketing Manager, Gemma Court.
‘That could mean taking a quick break from working in your home office to picking up the kids – and still getting home in time for your 4pm meeting. Or join your friends from the community in a book club or wine-tasting group. The possibilities are endless.’
2. Easy access to central transport
Most developer communities will have an existing Victorian public transport network built-in. This means getting to work, visiting friends and family, or enjoying dinner is only ever a short ride away.
‘From 68 years of developing communities and working closely with transport authorities, we know that creating communities close to existing transport connections (such as train stations and bus routes) is not only convenient but also helps protect the value of your home for the long term,’ adds Gemma.
3. A truly liveable community
Whether you’re a family with young children, a professional couple, a downsizer or a first home owner looking to build, there’s no better feeling than being part of a safe and connected community.
‘Belonging is that special connection you feel when you’ve found your true place in the world. It’s when you know your neighbours by name, making new friendships at your local park, the happy greetings when you arrive at your weekly fitness session and coming home to a place that feels just right for you,’ says Gemma.
‘A safe community is one that is inclusive and celebrates diversity.’
Developer communities keep all these aspects in mind, ensuring numerous shared spaces – including parks, walking trails and gyms – are within walking distance from home and in central and secure locations.
