Living on the fringe actually means being in the middle of everything that matters.
As Perth’s residential areas continue to spread outwards following waterways and upwards chasing centrality, many homebuyers are showing increasing interest in land releases and house and land packages in outer suburban areas.
In a world of 24/7 technology, cost of living pressures, and high density intensity, semi-rural residential estates that offer a sense of place and space, of freedom and true community, have increasing appeal. As does their value – an attractive combination of choices, benefits, and affordable pricing.
Choice and flexibility is important to first home buyers whose varying lifestyles will change as their family, interests and needs do. Densely populated inner-urban areas shape lifestyles that don’t necessarily suit those wanting their own patch, privacy, and room to grow. Walkability and connectivity being managed by traffic lights and elevators is not for everyone!
In semi-rural areas schools, shops, services and places to mingle can be much more conveniently accessed and are locally integrated, sustaining and nurturing neighbourhoods of familiar, like-minded people with a vested interest in everyone’s safety and wellbeing. These new communities are inclusive and welcoming, where residents look out for each and all are liberated to thrive and grow together.
Lot size obviously impacts on living space, and estates in semi-rural areas usually offer a range in sizes to accommodate new homes of different styles, and space-enhancing landscaping, street configurations and parks. Spaciousness, and room to breathe, is further enhanced by mature trees and natural flora which are featured and protected in semi-rural estates – showing true respect for harmonious living and the careful balance of urban functionality with the beauty, serenity and soul-stirring grandeur of nature.
Being in the outer rings of Perth, residents in semi-rural estates are in closer proximity to some of the state’s most popular destinations and varied activities – providing even more room to move. National parks, wineries, outdoor adventure experiences, equestrian centres, heritage trails, stunning waterways and active orchards are all a short drive away without the need for “a cut lunch and waterbag’!
Getting to work is not hard work
Employment factors significantly impact on the choice of home location. Established commercial, industrial, retail and service centres in semi-rural regions offer plentiful employment opportunities and are often situated near transit hubs providing public transport links to further afield.
Many people also have work-from-home or hybrid employment situations that don’t require daily commutes to work, so city-centric locations are much less important than the view of trees from the home office.
For some, an easy commute to the domestic airport is a must especially if one of the over 40,000 people living in the Perth metro area with a FIFO employment arrangement. Outer suburbs are within easy reach of the airport via major road and rail arteries – without the congestion. Once the Tonkin Highway extension is complete, residents of Mundi in Mundijong for example, will have a direct, and almost traffic-light-free half hour journey to the airport.
For those wanting to set their own pace and find their own space, who find fulfilment in both progress and savouring the moment, who want to be part of vibrant urban living that is enriched by an authentic country heart, – and who seek affordability without compromise – talk to the Parcel Property team about Mundi, a place to live and breathe.
