Some three decades ago, what we know now as the thriving Sydney Olympic Park precinct, was merely an industrial zone in an idyllic spot on Sydney Harbour.

The tender for the 2000 Summer Olympics Games was won by the NSW Government back in 1993, and around $5 billion worth of stadiums and infrastructure created a world-class sporting precinct.

Naturally, following The Games, apartment developers started to gravitate toward the Homebush precinct. The likes of Mirvac and Meriton have and/or are developing buildings in the area, which is now not only a place for visitors to come and see&nbsp;some of the country's largest sporting and music events, but a place for people to call home.

It was the continued and potential further growth in <a href="/new-apartments/lidcombe-nsw-2141">Sydney Olympic Park</a> (SOP) which attracted developer <a href="/developers/australia-ymci-pty-ltd">Australia YMCI</a> (AYMCI) to the area back in 2016, when they acquired a large 18-hectare site.

Now it is home to the precinct’s most recently completed Ovation Quarter apartment development, with the first stage, Emerald, completely sold out and apartments still remaining in Sapphire and Ruby.

The two mid-rise buildings have each designed by renowned architecture firm KANNFINCH.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138443 project_image_fid=242745]

AYMCI Director Jason Tan says the area has come a long way from inception. As more and more residents get settled in their new homes there is that energy in the area that was not there previously

“Residents enjoy using the facilities and the more they explore and invite new friends and family members the more you can feel that buzz of excitement in the area,” Tan says.

“It is certainly obvious when celebrities like Taylor Swift are in the area."

“This is why my development has added to the success of the precinct and why purchasers have flocked to buy even in times of rising interest rates. More than one hundred (100) sales were achieved last year.”

“We were blown away by their foresight of how the area will continue to evolve with the surrounding infrastructure around the developments.”

“It already has world-class sporting and entertainment facilities as a starting point from the Sydney Olympic Games. Purchasers know it can only continue to become that safe, family friendly community where everything is at your door.”

“People want it, so we are all working towards the same masterplan where myself and other developers, local council, Government with their readily available schemes and business owners are building the best Sydney’s west has yet to experience.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143641 project_image_fid=247476]

One of the biggest attractions to Sydney Olympic Park is how connected it is to the city. The infrastructure put in place for the Olympics is still the main connection point to the city, with the Sydney Olympic Park Station connecting residents to Central Station in just 33-minutes.

SOP is set to become even more connected to Greater Sydney. The second stage of the Parramatta Light Rail will connect stage one and Parramatta's CBD to Sydney&nbsp;Olympic Park via Camellia, Rydalmere, Ermington, Melrose Park and Wentworth Point. &nbsp;

It will deliver high frequency ‘turn up and go’ services’ every 7.5 minutes on weekdays between 7am to 7pm, and around every 10-15 minutes outside those times, and on weekends and public holidays.&nbsp;

Stage two will also connect to Sydney Metro West (under construction) and heavy rail in Parramatta and Sydney Olympic Park; as well as ferry services at Rydalmere and Sydney Olympic Park.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138443 project_image_fid=247180]

While density is natural around these kinds of precincts, there is still 430-hectares of green open space surrounding SOP, one of the largest urban parks in Australia.&nbsp;Its parklands feature ideal spots for picnics, playgrounds, wetlands and waterways including a network of paths and cycleways.

Sydney Olympic Park, also a 6-Star Green Star Community, is set for further expansion as part of the Sydney Olympic Park Masterplan to create a more dynamic and thriving precinct by 2030.

Sapphire and Ruby are both just across the road from Accor Stadium and Qudos Bank Arena and a short walk to the hospitality strip near the Olympic Station which is also set for a $585 million investment injection which will see three new buildings built adjacent to the new Metro station.

There will be one commercial and retail tower and two residential towers, set above four-level podiums and an activated ground plane which will serve the wider community.

More retail is on offer at Sydney's leading international fashion outlet DFO in neighbouring suburb Homebush is also just a short trip from Sapphire and Ruby.

Both families and mum and dad investors have shown interest at Sapphire and Ruby apartments given the proximity to several top private and public schools including MLC, <a href="/developments/newington-nsw-2127">Newington</a> Public School, Lidcombe Public School, SEDA College, and Charles Sturt University.

There are just two-bedroom apartments left in Ruby, priced from $799,000, and two and three-bedrooms in Sapphire, all under $1 million.

How Sydney Olympic Park became a thriving lifestyle precinct

Joint venture partners&nbsp;Guavalime and Capital Prudential grabbed one of the closest residential development sites to Alderley Station for their latest Brisbane apartment development.

Their new project, <a href="/new-apartments/breathe-residences-alderley-27-lorne-street-alderley-qld">Breathe Residences</a> at 27 Lorne Street, is ideally located near the corner of Samford Road and a stone's throw from the heart of Alderley.

Future residents of the <a href="/architects/loucas-architects">Loucas Architects</a>-designed building will be just 450 metres from Alderley Station on South Pine Road, where there's a number of bus stops heading into Roma Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143502 project_image_fid=249940]

Half way between the one, two and three-bedroom apartment development and the station is Alderley Plaza, anchored by a Coles supermarket and also home to Japanese grocery store Genki Mart, Alderley Australia Post, a chemist, and a number of multi-cultural restaurants.

Around 200 metres from the front door of Breathe Residences is the most popular pub in the suburb, the Alderley Arms Hotel, a mainstay for locals and visitors to Alderley for a number of years.

The closest cafe is Brisbean Cafe, close to the entry of the station just over 300 metres away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143502 project_image_fid=249939]

The neighbourhood's liveability is further enhanced by its abundance of parks.

The Banks Street Reserve, a 30-hectare park just a nine-minute walk south of Breathe Residences, offers a variety of recreational activities, from biking along the scenic bikeway to bushwalking and enjoying open spaces.

There is also Grinstead Park, a five-minute walk north of Breathe Residences, perfect for all ages with its exercise equipment, BBQ areas, dedicated bike track for kids, soccer and basketball courts, tennis wall, and massive fort playground.

<a href="/architects/loucas-architects">Loucas Architects</a>&nbsp;designed Breathe Residences, capturing modern Australian design. The central concept focuses on the building’s "lungs" – a garden courtyard at the core, surrounded by pathways promoting mobility, connections, and peaceful moments within the gardens.

Breathe Residences: Inside the location of Alderley's newest apartment development

Yeronga is one of Brisbane's premier riverfront suburbs.

But it hasn't had an influx of new apartments for a number of years, not since the sell-out successes of Gardner Vaughan's five stage masterplan&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/venusto-172-venner-road-yeronga">Renovaré</a>.

The latest project is from&nbsp;<a href="/developers/pradella">Pradella Property</a>&nbsp;who in January launched&nbsp;Jardinia, a collection of 87 apartments ideally located&nbsp;only 200 metres away from Yeronga Train Station.

The location puts future residents just steps away from Yeronga's cafes, restaurants, shopping and schools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=137221 project_image_fid=250613]

The recently refurbished <a href="/developments/yeronga-qld-4104">Yeronga</a> Train Station boasts a direct cross-river rail link and improved accessibility, cementing Jardinia's status as a hub of connectivity.

For the foodies, options start just across Devon St, where Yeronga Bakery Cafe and Teddy J's BBQ &amp; Burgers.

Only 250 metres ahead is Club Yeronga which serves everything from steaks, pasta and wood-fired pizza.

Golly Gosh, known for its thoughtfully crafted brunch dishes and top-notch coffee, is within 800 metres, while Osteria Epoca, where contemporary flavours meet traditional Italian methods, is just a three-minute drive.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=137221 project_image_fid=249210]

For everyday essentials and more, <a href="/developments/fairfield-qld-4103">Fairfield</a> Gardens Shopping Complex is a short six-minute car ride away from Jardinia.

The shopping complex is home to an ALDI, Coles, pharmacy, clinics, and even the Fairfield public library, as well as more cuisine and fast food dining options.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find Jardinia perfectly situated amidst various parks and green spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=137221 project_image_fid=250614]

Yeronga Street Park, with its views of the Brisbane River and the Indooroopilly Golf Club across, is 500 metres west of Jardinia.

The 5.5-hectare Hyde Road Park, only 700 metres north of Jardinia, has walking tracks, a dog-friendly park, playgrounds, and is surrounded by coffee shops. Slightly further afield is the&nbsp;22-hectare, heritage-listed Yeronga Memorial Park which also has a dog park and a playground, as well as a public swimming pool.

Families with school-going children will find convenience in the proximity of Jardinia to various educational institutions. Yeronga State School, St Sebastian's Primary School, Yeronga State High School, and Yeronga Montessori are all less than 650 metres from Jardinia, making them easily accessible by foot.

Designed by <a href="/architects/wiltshire-stevens-architecture">Wiltshire Stevens</a>, Jardinia offers one, two, three, and four-bedroom residences spread across five levels. Position Property is marketing Jardinia.

Jardinia: Yeronga's most centrally located apartment development 

With housing demand projected to outpace Greater Sydney in price and rental growth, the Norwest area in Sydney’s booming Hills District has become an attractive investment opportunity.

According to Urbis’s Norwest Market Outlook Report, sales prices and rental yields for apartments within the Norwest area outperformed those in the Greater Sydney Area between 2019 and 2022.

The Urbis Report indicates that infrastructure investment and new housing development is a key factor in the strong price growth over the period, attracting more affluent residents to the <a href="/developments/norwest-nsw-2153">Norwest</a> area. &nbsp;The median unit price has increased by 6.3% per annum over the past 10 years and median sales prices experienced growth of 8.7% in the past 12 months across 328 settled transactions.

Norwest and surrounding areas are benefitting from more than $9 billion in infrastructure investment, including the North West Metro, which is soon to connect direct to the CBD and beyond. On top of that there's the North Connex and West Connex motorways, as well as Norwest area-specific education, recreation, retail, health and service facilities that are contributing to the transformation of Norwest into a vibrant lifestyle and economic hub.&nbsp;

In addition, the dynamic growth of Norwest Business Park (one of the largest corporate precincts in Australia, with a focus on knowledge industries, and professional and health services), will continue to drive employment opportunities and demand for quality housing nearby.

Population growth is a key factor fuelling demand for housing, with Transport for NSW forecasting Norwest’s population growing by an average of 1.8 per cent per annum from 2022 to 2037 almost doubling the NSW average of 1.0 per cent per annum. This equates to a total population of around 63,700 residents by 20375.

To meet housing demands for this forecast increase in population, the Norwest area will require an additional 4,850 dwellings by 2037 and based on the historic 10-year average dwelling completions6, it is forecast to fall short of meeting the required supply. &nbsp;Given the significant decline in NSW dwelling approvals since 20177, the housing shortfall in Norwest is likely to further intensify.

Developer Mulpha has, for the past 30 years, been developing the $2.5 billion commercial, retail and residential estate, Norwest Business Park, in Baulkham Hills in Sydney’s Hills District – one of the largest integrated developments in Australia.

As part of Norwest, <a href="/developers/mulpha">Mulpha</a> is currently delivering stage 1 of its proposed multi-stage vision for the ‘<a href="/new-apartments/norwest-quarter-40-solent-circuit-norwest">Norwest Quarter</a>’. &nbsp;The plans for the entire Norwest Quarter precinct propose a major mixed-use development for over 2,000 residents across eight residential towers, 6,000 m2 of space for cafes, restaurants, neighborhood shops and everyday services, facilities and amenities within a vibrant village centre set within 3.8 hectares of greenfield land, up to 70 per cent of which is to be dedicated to green, open space. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103264 project_image_fid=196015]

Mulpha’s Head of Development, Tim Spencer said the demand for quality apartments in Norwest reflects a change in mindset in how people view apartment living.&nbsp;

“The demand for quality apartments will continue to grow not just due to relative affordability but also the lifestyle benefits. &nbsp;These include being able to live in a great location close to transport connections, education and public amenities, parks and recreational facilities, all within a vibrant community.

“This is increasingly appealing to a broad range of people from singles, couples and families, to empty nesters who want convenience and community. With people enjoying busy and active lifestyles through all stages of life, many people don’t want the responsibility, time commitment and cost of maintaining a house and garden.&nbsp;

“Of course, the most important consideration with buying any apartment is the quality of design and construction and that it is being delivered by a developer with a strong track record of commitment to the area and who stands behind their product.”

The first stage of the Norwest Quarter is located within 400 metres of the Norwest Metro Station and comprises two residential apartment buildings, Lacebark and Banksia, as well as more than 3,500 sqm of retail and commercial space that aims to house a full-floor commercial gym, fresh food grocer, medical services, and restaurants.

Norwest apartment market in Sydney’s Hills District reports strong price and rental growth

Brisbane builder developer Carbone Developments really know the importance of a well located project.

Their most recent, <a href="/new-apartments/parque-mitchelton-3-mcconaghy-street-mitchelton">Parque Mitchelton in Brisbane's north-west</a>, is ideally located so future residents hardly need a car to get everything and get everywhere they would need.

Set 35 metres from the Mitchelton Station, Parque is just 20 minutes from the city by train, and 15 minutes by car, if it's ever required.

The project of 60 one and two-bedroom apartments starting from $450,000 is also conveniently located within a six-minute walk to Brookside Shopping Centre which has over 100 retailers including Big W, TK Maxx and Target. There's both a Woolworths and a Coles, as well as all the major banks branches. Food and dining options are also aplenty.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140363 project_image_fid=256075]

On top of the food and beverage options in the shopping centre, there's also plenty of hospitality venues around the train station including Mary's Seafood, American diner Miss Kay's , Blackwood Espresso Bar and quaint cocktail bar The Woods Bar.

While there's extensive connectivity and convenience near Parque, there's also significant nature opportunities. The apartments have the backdrop of Michelton's leafy Osborne Road Park.

One of the most popular parks is Terabla Park, just over one kilometre from Parque. That features expansive green areas, playgrounds for children, picnic spots, and barbecue facilities. The park also features walking and cycling paths, making it a favourite for both active individuals and families.

There's also further opportunity for nature walks at&nbsp;Bartley's Hill Reservoir and South Pine River, the latter which runs along Kedron Brook Creek.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140363 project_image_fid=250230]

There's five primary school opportunities within one kilometre of the front door of Parque, as well as five secondary schools. Tertiary education institutions are also within close proximity, with campuses of the University of Queensland and Torrens University Australia around five kilometres away.

Residents at Parque are also treated to extensive amenity within the building in the form of a&nbsp;swimming pool and a gym, as well as a sun deck with barbecue facilities and park views.

The apartments have been designed by Red Door Architecture to make the most of Brisbane's tropical climate, with the open plan kitchen, living and dining areas opening onto balconies.

<a href="/developers/carbone-developments">Carbone Developments</a>&nbsp;has been developing in Brisbane for over two decades. They've developed both house and multi-residential projects in the likes of&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/lutwyche-qld-4030">Lutwyche</a>,&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/redland-bay-qld-4165">Redland Bay</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/chermside-qld-4032">Chermside</a>.

Connected to everything: Why Parque Mitchelton is a walker's paradise

Chevron Island's village lifestyle is drawing both developers and buyers to the small island directly inland of Surfers Paradise.

The latest developer to take advantage of the in-demand suburb is&nbsp;<a href="/developers/bastion">Bastion</a>, whose new $90 million&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/nera-residences-chevron-island-8-10-parneno-street-chevron-island">NERA Residences</a>&nbsp;will take up position toward the northern end of the island at 8-10 Parneno Street, just two streets away from the high street strip of Thomas Drive.

Thomas Drive hosts a variety of boutique retailers, highly-rated restaurants, and cafes, including Curry Muncher, Wagyu-Ya, Arlo's Pizzeria, Casa Brasil, The Balkan Est, and The Noodle House. Thomas Drive is also the main thoroughfare through Chevron Island, a bridge to <a href="/new-apartments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a> to the east and <a href="/developments/southport-qld-4215">Southport</a> to the west.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=241577]

Chevron Renaissance, the largest shopping centre in Surfers Paradise, is just across the bridge to Surfers, while the retail hubs of Surfers Paradise Boulevard and Cavill Avenue are less than two kilometres away from NERA.

Although a relatively small suburb compared to its neighbours, Chevron Island boasts a number of riverside parks and reserves like Chevron Island Park and Korman Family Park, as well as park and fishing spots at Darrambal Street Reserve.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=241579]

The Home of The Arts (HOTA) precinct, located south of Chevron Island and connected by Bundall Rd over the Nerang River, is set to activate artistic programs, markets, festivals, film events, family recreation, and architectural showcases from Melbourne-based practice ARM.

While <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a> isn't home to any educational institutions, its central location puts it only a short drive from&nbsp;Surfers Paradise State School, The Southport School, and Keebra Park State High School.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=253875]

NERA comprises 87 two and three-bedroom apartments, half-floor sky homes, and a penthouse over 28 levels, with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Gold Coast Hinterland.

The rooftop features 360-degree views and is home to an&nbsp;infinity pool, wellness spas, and a fitness centre, as well as&nbsp;resident private dining areas and outdoor sky lounges with fire pits.

NERA's construction will commence soon, with completion slated for mid-2026.

Renowned developer Poly Global is nearing completion of its transformative master plan development Spring Square by Poly, an exciting investment opportunity nestled in the lively suburb of Bankstown.&nbsp;

Located on a 46,400 sqm site at 32 Kitchener Parade at the site of an old RSL, the Scott Carver-designed <a href="/buildings/spring-square-by-poly-bankstown-32-kitchener-parade-bankstown">Spring Square</a> comprises 516 apartments across five towers over significant retail and commercial space.

Spring Square is strategically positioned within the evolving health precinct of Bankstown. As the region undergoes significant transformation, the development is poised to become a key player in supporting the growing healthcare needs of the community.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7054 project_image_fid=245520]

The $2 billion redevelopment of the Bankstown CBD will see it become the hub of the west.

The City of Canterbury <a href="/new-apartments/bankstown-nsw-2200">Bankstown</a> is committed to a $1.3 billion development of health services in Bankstown, including the construction of a new hospital, with expected completion in 2029. It will become a leading link&nbsp;between other health precincts in the region, connecting areas like Liverpool, Randwick, Westmead, and St George.&nbsp;

The new $340 million high-rise Bankstown City campus of Western Sydney University in Bankstown adds another layer of appeal to Spring Square.

The 18-storey campus comprises 26,000 square meters of state-of-the-art facilities with a focus on technology-rich learning environments.

The Bankstown City campus will offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in various fields, including teacher education, psychology, arts and humanities, business, accounting, IT, and non-clinical health areas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7054 project_image_fid=245535]

The curriculum and facilities are tailored to address the needs of the fast-growing Canterbury-Bankstown and southwest Sydney regions, with a focus on health, advanced manufacturing for small and medium enterprises, and education.

The Bankstown City campus is expected to deliver approximately $140 million a year in additional economic uplift to the Canterbury-Bankstown and Western Sydney region.

Further contributing to the investment proposition is Australia's prominent retail property group Vicinity Centres' $1 billion investment in the Bankstown region.

Vicinity Centres envisions a 30-year redevelopment plan for 11.4 hectares of central Bankstown, aiming to create a mixed-use urban neighbourhood.&nbsp;

The project, known as Bankstown Central, includes the addition of at least 19 towers around the existing central shopping centre.

The early plans for the $1.3-billion redevelopment include 1255 residential apartments, 439 hotel rooms, 694 student accommodation units, about 90 serviced apartments, 120,000 sqm of commercial space, and 15,000 sqm of new retail.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7054 project_image_fid=245534]

The existing shopping centre, built in 1966, houses anchor tenants such as Myer, Target, Big W, Kmart, Woolworths, Dan Murphy’s, and Coles.

The redevelopment is expected to bring economic benefits, with the potential to generate an additional $88 million in retail spending, supporting existing retailers and new local businesses.

Situated at the northern end of Bankstown's commercial precinct, Spring Square by Poly is also strategically positioned to benefit from the renewed Canterbury-Bankstown to Sydenham corridor and the new Sydney Metro train line, just 300 metres away.

Sydney Metro aims to deliver quick and reliable turn-up-and-go services between Sydenham and Bankstown by late 2025.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7054 project_image_fid=245522]

Infrastructure spend tends to lead to increased price growth, which is why investors have turned their eye to Spring Square by Poly, which in itself is a mini community with extensive retail and commercial spaces.

The masterplan features retail shops, a 684 sqm health services facility, a childcare centre, and a spacious basement car park with 714 parking spaces.

Residents of Spring Square will enjoy communal spaces, interconnecting walkways, and green parks, fostering a sense of community and well-being. The inclusion of a garden, small cafes, bars, and outdoor al fresco dining options adds to the lifestyle appeal of the development.

Spring Square by Poly: In the heart of Bankstown's $2 billion CBD redevelopment

Development in Noosa, one of the most popular coastal enclaves in the country, has become almost impossible given the property boom the suburb has seen over the last five years.

Even Noosaville, the neighbouring suburb of waterways next to Noosa, has seen land values shoot up, particularly since the onset of the pandemic.

Fund manager and developer <a href="/developers/capital-prudential">Capital Prudential</a> has found a sweet spot in <a href="/new-apartments/noosaville-qld-4566">Noosaville</a>, just two kilometres from Noosaville's Gympie Terrace activity centre and six kilometres to the popular Hastings Street on the beachfront.

They've recently launched <a href="/new-apartments/26-headland-drive-noosaville">JURA Noosa</a>, a collection of just 38 townhomes designed by Blackwood Architecture, offering one of just a handful of new developments the area has seen in recent years and is likely to see going forward.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142312 project_image_fid=248932]

The townhomes are tucked away on Headland Drive. The unusually shaped 6322 sqm site, an amalgamation of four adjoining properties, allows for the townhouses to be set back from the street, providing both privacy and security, as well as convenient access to the street which runs up to the riverfront Hilton and Gympie Terrace.

JURA is strategically located within&nbsp;walking distance of various cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants.

Gympie Terrace, lined with restaurants and cafes overlooking the river, and Thomas Street and Weyba Road overlooking Lake Weyba offer the closest dining options like the Noosa Boathouse, Amo Gelato Caffe, and 250 Grammi Food &amp; Wine Bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142312 project_image_fid=228398]

Gympie Terrace also features an eclectic mix of fashion outlets, bookshops, surf gear stores, spas, beauty salons, wellness studios, homeware shops and gift stores.&nbsp;

The Noosaville Industrial Estate showcases showrooms with locally-made designer clothes, shoes, skincare products, homewares, hipster haircuts, furniture, recycled treasures and craft breweries.

Noosa Civic is also in the Noosaville locale, just five minutes from JURA. That's the focal point of the wider Noosa region, with major stores like Woolworths and Big W, and a further 8,000 sqm of specialty retail stores.

Staying in Noosaville is the&nbsp;nearby Noosa Springs Golf &amp; Spa Resort, one of the most popular courses in the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142312 project_image_fid=228402]

Hastings Street, less than a 10-minute drive, of course homes Noosa finest retail and hospitality.

Some of the highest-rated restaurants on Hastings Street include Knock Knock Noosa, Oakberry Acai, Season Restaurant &amp; Bar, and Betty's Burgers.

Hastings is easily accessible both by car and ferry. The Noosa Ferry conveniently stops at various points in the Noosaville area on its journey between Hastings Street and Noosa Marina, the latter being four minutes from JURA..

&nbsp;

In addition to its central location, JURA residents can enjoy various outdoor activities, including exploring the 3,000-hectare National Park around Lake Weyba, going north to enjoy the white sands of Noosa Heads Main Beach or further south to hike at Emu Mountain or swimming and surfing at Peregian Beach and Coolum Beach.

The Noosa River's two-kilometre grassy foreshore with scenic water views and shaded trees provides an ideal setting for those who prefer relaxing family and pet-friendly picnics instead. A&nbsp;diverse range of watercraft can be quickly hired along the Noosa River.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142312 project_image_fid=228400]

Excellent connectivity is also a highlight for JURA, which is located 15 minutes from the Bruce Highway and only a 30-minute drive to the Sunshine Coast Airport.&nbsp;

Young families will also appreciate JURA's proximity to several private and public primary and secondary schools. Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Noosaville State School, and St Teresa's Catholic College are all within two kilometres from the property.&nbsp;

The Noosaville Library and Noosa Community Gardens are just a 10-minute walk away, while the Noosa Hospital is just a three-minute drive from JURA.

JURA comprises&nbsp;38 two-bedroom single-level residences and dual-level townhomes. The properties feature light-filled, open-plan living spaces seamlessly connected to spacious balconies and terrace courtyards, ideal for entertaining in Queensland's subtropical climate.

Elsternwick's newest apartment development, EVA Elsternwick Village Apartments, strikes a chord between those who seek a simple commute into the city and those who want to be immersed in nature.

EVA, the 101-apartment development on Glen Huntly Road by Pitard Group, offers both, being just 130 metres road from <a href="/new-apartments/elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick</a> Station and high above the surrounding treetop canopy.

The location has been one of the biggest draw cards at EVA, with buyers drawn to the&nbsp;Glen Huntly Road location not only for the proximity to the station, bus and tram stops, but also to the diverse retail and dining strip that forms Elsternwick Village.

Notable dining destinations include award-winning Attica, renowned for chef Ben Shewry's innovative Australian cuisine, and the cult favourite Bang Bang, serving up French-South East Asian fusion, just a stone's throw away.

Residents can also conveniently shop for their essentials with a short, nine-minute walk to the nearby Coles from EVA.

Besides the urban amenities, residents are surrounded by nearby green spaces like Elsternwick Park, a four-minute walk from EVA, and the heritage-listed Rippon Lea Estate, just ten minutes away.

EVA is also within 700 metres of several educational institutions, such as Elsternwick Primary School, Sholem Aleichem College, St Joseph's School, Adass Israel School, Caulfield Grammar School, and Shelford Girls' Grammar.

Residents benefit from close access to quality medical care, with Caulfield Hospital just a brief four-minute drive from EVA.

Treetops and transport: EVA Elsternwick Village Apartments prime location

Glen Iris in Melbourne's inner east is well known for its leafy streets, charming period homes, and family-friendly atmosphere.

Developer <a href="/developers/lk-property-group">LK Property Group</a>, led by billionaire NBL owner Larry Kestelman, identified a small pocket where they knew future residents of their recently launched townhouse development, Lori, would be able to take advantage of the best <a href="/new-townhouses/glen-iris-vic-3146">Glen Iris</a> has to offer.

In 2021 they snapped up an unusually shaped 1,120 sqm site on Malvern Road, an irregular site which allowed for a creative design of eight townhouses set well back from the street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114100 project_image_fid=246532]

Lori, at 1610 Malvern Road, sits opposite a direct laneway through to Gardiners Creek where there's the Gardiners Creek Trail, a 40-minute trail to the city, as well as Nettleton Dog Park and Howard Dawson Reserve.

Just 500 metres down Malvern Road is the popular independent craft brewery Deeds Brewery, as well as the Glen Iris Station, connecting future Lori residents to the city in around 20 minutes.

On the way to the station is Platform Espresso, the popular commuter coffee stop, while just past the station is the hospitality strip on Malvern Road. There's&nbsp;That Greek Tavern, Pimento Thai Cuisine, Beans Republique, bagels and pastries at 3146 Bagels or AM Bakehouse, Italian pizza at Teo's, dinner at Hen's House, and a nightcap at Milton Wine Shop. They all sit within less than 500 metres from Lori.

Glen Iris is a well established, family friendly community, and with that comes excellent schools. The likes of Caulfield Grammer, Sacre Coeur, Auburn High, and Korowa Anglican Girls' School which all feature in the states top 10 per cent best schools list.

There's close physical amenity in the form of&nbsp;the TH King Oval, the aforementioned Gardiners Creek Trail, Gardiner Tennis Court, and Harold Holt Pool, which is just over one kilometre away from Lori.

Lori will be inkeeping with the wider Glen Iris community. The&nbsp;100-year old trees on the site will be preserved, creating a tree canopy from Lori's master suites located on the upper level

Each Lori townhouse will have three bedrooms across two levels, as well as parking for two cars.

Award-winning architectural practice&nbsp;<a href="/architects/megowan-architectural">Megowan</a>&nbsp;has designed&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/lori-glen-iris-1610-malvern-road-glen-iris">Lori</a>.

Every part of the house is smartly designed, with careful thought put into every square metre for usability. The space under the stairs turns into a concealed study nook that opens to the living space.

The Miele-appointed kitchens feature a highly functional and adaptable open cupboard with plenty of storage space. The location of the kitchen&nbsp;allows for entertaining from the kitchen's terrazzo and natural stone benchtops to flow into the dining and living spaces.

Immerse Constructions is currently building Lori, which is slated for completion in Q4 2024.
