Downsizing into New Homes

 

North Harbour has been very pleased to welcome many residents looking to downsize into a brand-new home. Our downsizer residents have the experience of owning homes which gives them greater insight when building – they know what they want and don’t want.

As resident Paul Omerod said; “We looked at already established properties and found that with each house we looked at, there were compromises to be made and nothing really ticked all the boxes of what we were really looking for. We found that with a new build we could have the house design and features that we wanted and was more cost effective than buying a ready established house and then having to make the changes to fit our needs.”

Many of our downsizing residents say one of their key reasons for choosing North Harbour is an opportunity to enjoy an active lifestyle into retirement. Our proposed 1000 acres of open space (over half of the entire development) and parklands offer plenty of options for recreation. Our first park, the Village Park, opened in October 2015 at the end of Moreton Bay Boulevard. It incorporates two areas of play equipment to suit both older children and pre-schoolers and has free Wi-Fi, shelters, drinking fountains (for people and pets) and BBQs on 6000m2 of beautifully landscaped space.

North Harbour - Landscaped Space

Our second park opened in late 2017. Named Reflections Park, it is located on the south-western side of North Harbour near the Raff Creek Environmental Corridor it includes play equipment aimed at young children (different to the Village Park to give residents and visitors lots of choice), BBQs and shelters. Reflections is the home of our free weekly Sunrise Yoga in the Park class every Sunday morning at 7am. Later this year we will be adding outdoor exercise equipment in fitness stations which will provide our residents with the opportunity for free workouts in beautiful surroundings.

We have several blocks currently available to suit downsizers with easy access to walkways and cycle tracks. To find out more about our land for sale please contact us.
