WITH a land release surrounding its newly completed community park, AV Jennings’ Creekwood project at Caloundra is attracting a new surge of buyers from near and far.
Among them are Jean and Darrell McManus, who moved from England to be closer to their family. They took advantage of the $15,000 Great Start Grant to build their home, and are clearly smitten.
While the couple owned property in England, as first time Australian home buyers they were able to use the extra boost to build a two-bedroom home at Creekwood.
Mrs McManus said they had visited Australia several times before deciding on a sea change.
“Our daughter and her family live in nearby Little Mountain, and we fell in love with the area and its warm, sunny weather,” she said, adding that their new home was a world away from their previous abode.
“In England, we had a two-storey house in Leeds inland from the coastline – so it’s a welcome change for us to be close to the beach.” The McManuses chose a lot that backs on to the new community park, which has playground equipment, sporting facilities and lots of open space, perfect for when the grandchildren visit.
AVJennings Queensland state general manager Rod Chadwick said Creekwood had attracted a wide range of buyers in recent months, with new land releases selling quickly on the back of Creekwood Park’s completion.“Since we completed the community park and released new land surrounding it, there has been a sales rush from all types of buyers, including young families, couples, retirees and investors,” he said.
