Feeling comfortable & cosy in your prospective home is always something that is essential when searching for property- and whether we like to admit it or not, we all have a set of default expectations that we have in our mind (yep, even us!). As much as possible, we would want to have all those in just one property.
At this moment, we want you to remember all the qualifications in your list, as we tick them off, one reason at a time!
With its approximately 10.4 square kilometers size, The Suburb of Glenorchy will let you experience the most out of things within its community. We’ll just let the suburb itself do the marketing! (haha) But Seriously, All Kidding aside, here are five, (among a countless list if you really got us going), reasons why Glenorchy is the ideal place to be.
Proximity is key
Have you ever been caught in a situation where you just realized that you forgot something when you’re already at home? Case in point, that essential item in the grocery shop, or perhaps, needing to pick up something in the department store, but don’t want to venture into the city. Well, our shopping centres save the day! You may find the following just across your neighborhood: Northgate Shopping Centre (It boasts around 65 different specialty stores and is the third largest shopping centre in Tasmania ), Glenorchy Central, and Big W.
Aside from these, there are also other key establishments which are situated in the area such as schools (e.g. Dominic College, Guilford Young College, and Springfield Gardens Primary School), library (e.g. Glenorchy Library), local attractions, and other recreational areas (which we will be discussing further in a while).
Martin Evans, a Sales Consultant at 4one4 Property Co., and a resident in the suburb for twenty years, said that one of the considerations he took in securing a property in the area is the “convenience” it gives him. Aside from the local services in the place, it only takes a 5 to 10 minute-drive to get to the centre of Hobart, the Capital City of Tasmania.
Vacation goes on
When asked about a word that would perfectly describe the lifestyle of living in Glenorchy, Mr. Evans said “satisfying”. Because, indeed, it is.
Here’s why. You won’t need to take long drives just to get to your dream destination. The break from the hustle & bustle, and relaxing vibe that you’ve been longing for, can actually be experienced in the comforts of your own local community. And another great thing, It won’t ‘break the bank’ to do so either! Different local attractions and recreational areas can be visited in Glenorchy. Some of these include the world-renowned museum, MONA, Glenorchy Art & Sculpture Park, Derwent Entertainment Centre, Glenorchy Pool, Tolosa Park, Elwick RaceCourse, the local Cinema and the like.
The Essence of Convenience
Aside from its proximity to local key establishments, and even to other parts of Tasmania, safety has always been the suburb’s priority.
Mr. Evans shared that he didn’t encounter any problems regarding security for his 20-year stay at Glenorchy. “All in all, it’s a good safe suburb to live in,” he added, making it a great choice for families/retirees.
A Worthy Community
Reports from CoreLogic show that the houses’ median price rose by 10.7 percent compared to last year, but, when asked about the cost of living in the area, Mr. Evans responded that “the area still had some pockets which offered exceptional value for money”.
With the Glenorchy living costs , right between high and low, ensures the residents are comfortable on a daily basis, and can still enjoy an active lifestyle.
Ensured future
Along with the ever-changing needs of families, Glenorchy is promised with exciting employment and opportunities in the future.
