Live the dream

A peaceful enclave with every conceivable amenity within walking distance.

 

Building communities is about far more than bricks and mortar – it’s about creating a lifestyle that people want to be part of.

Leading residential developer, Villawood Properties is delivering a new generation of innovative, community-focused developments in burgeoning areas across southeast Queensland that residents are proud to call home. 

“We understand there is much more to creating a living, breathing community than simply constructing a housing allotment,” Villawood Properties executive director Tony Johnson said.

“New developments must seamlessly integrate with and add value to the existing community and environment, through effective urban design, in order to thrive.”

The Surrounds at Helensvale, Villawood’s new $500 million community, is one of the most well-connected estates in the country, with major transport and employment nodes within walking distance.

“The entire site, which spans 90ha, is within an easy 800m walk of Helensvale Station, which is regarded as the new interchange between Brisbane and the Gold Coast,” Mr Johnson said.

“The area is already serviced by a major Westfield Shopping Centre and the adjacent Millaroo Drive commercial zone. Right on the doorstep is the NightQuarter entertainment precinct, which has become a popular weekend destination for locals and visitors.”

 

The Surrounds also houses the Gold Coast’s largest display village, featuring 31 designs from 10 leading builders including Aston Milan, Brighton Homes, Chelbrooke Homes, GJ Gardner, McCarthy Homes, Metricon, Plantation Homes, Porter Davis, Simonds Homes, and Stylemaster.

“Having so many displays from a range of leading builders within one location gives prospective buyers a chance to explore their options,” Mr Johnson said.

“Whether they are looking to upgrade to a large, stylish home with high-end finishes or seeking a spacious and practical home for a growing family, buyers can visualise their future at The Surrounds.”

More than 200 sales have been secured at The Surrounds, which features 620 residences, with 30 per cent (20ha) of the community remaining dedicated to green open space.

“The community is well underway with the first wave of residents now settling into their new homes, and the beautiful central park, featuring barbeque areas and playground now complete,” Mr Johnson said.

“Residents are eagerly anticipating the start of construction on the leisure centre, which will feature a lap pool, kids’ pool, cafe, and gymnasium, all without body corporate.”
