Here’s why people love apartment living at Hobsonville Point
It suits all ages and stages
Apartment living at Hobsonville Point is increasingly appealing to people of all ages and stages. Minimalist millennials say they enjoy having more time and money to spend on experiences, instead of filling a big house with ‘stuff’. Growing families love the proximity to great schools and clever designs that happily accommodate kids and pets. Jetsetting downsizers value being able to ‘lock up and leave’ on a moment’s notice.
It’s all about beautiful shared spaces
The trick to loving apartment life is choosing the right suburb - one that more than makes up for a lack of a private backyard. Hobsonville Point has been carefully planned to provide plentiful green space (26ha to be exact). No apartment is more than a couple of minutes’ walk to a natural reserve, gorgeous landscaped park or a playground for the kids. That’s in addition to a 5km coastal walkway, art trail and a waterfront farmers market.
It’s easier to be sociable
Apartments bring a higher concentration of people to an area, which makes local businesses more viable. That’s why in the world’s most beloved neighbourhoods, you’ll find a greater number of apartments, and more vibrant cafes and bars. It’s easier to be sociable when you can stroll to your local to meet friends for a drink, instead of driving across town to a suburban lounge room. Hobsonville Point already has a flourishing hospitality scene, especially down on the waterfront, which you’ll find buzzing with sociable citizens seven days a week.
It’s more affordable
Apartments are generally more affordable than standalone homes - especially when you consider what you’re getting for your money. Apartments at Hobsonville Point are architecturally designed, and are built to a high standard with quality materials by leading building companies. They’re also much cheaper to run, because they’re warm, weathertight and energy efficient. As a result, Hobsonville Point households spend around $550 per year less on power and water than the Auckland average.
