Driving through Gawler today, you can't help but notice the construction. Gawler is growing. Land is being cleared everywhere. Springwood. These developments are the future of our market. Some people complain. "It is too busy," is the complaint. looking at the market, I see progress. Expansion brings shops. Development is good. A town that isn't growing we stagnate. It is thriving.
These new estates offer something that heritage homes don't. Contemporary homes. Clean lines. For many families, this is exactly what they want. They avoid fixing cracks. They prefer open plan living. The goal is 6-star energy ratings. You get this in a new build. The entry point is attractive against the existing market. You can build for a reasonable price.
It is more than houses. See the retail. The transport. These projects pay for infrastructure. Gawler East link road benefits everyone. New playgrounds in these estates are amazing. They are public. If you stay in central Gawler, you win too. It brings vibrancy to the council.
Where The New Houses Are Being Built
The key estates. The development in the east. A giant project. A planned village centre. The elevation. It is upmarket. The blocks vary from cottage blocks to huge lifestyle allotments. This mix creates a real community. It attracts retirees. It is essentially a mini suburb.
Orleana in the south. Easy building. Great for families. Close to the train. Wetlands. It is spacious. It is popular because it is affordable. A family home with a yard cheaply. This area is booming. Commuters love it fast exit.
Small subdivisions are everywhere. Splitting blocks. In Evanston. The big blocks are being split. More people. But it saves the old house building at the back. This is smart growth. It keeps the population efficiently.
Roads, Shops And Services
The concern is congestion. "Can the roads cope?." Fair point. The government are working. The new bypass fixed issues the main drag. You can bypass to get to the expressway. The Northern Expressway links to the city. It is seamless.
Business is coming. Gawler Green is a hub. Bunnings serves us. We have everything in town. Health services are opening to serve us. Schools are building. New buildings. Gawler High is upgrading. We are managing.
Truthfully, development saves us. Other regions that don't grow lose shops. Banks close. We are secure thanks to new estates. Your house price is protected of this growth. So don't hate the cranes. It is your future.
Deciding Between Old And New
Should you build? The dilemma. Constructing gets you exactly what you want. Pick the colours. Duty is only on land. You get the grants if eligible. It is fun. However, it is slow. Long delays. Renting while building is expensive. Variations. Fences aren't included. It costs more than the brochure.
Buying established is immediate. Walk through it. Landscaping exists. Curtains are there. Keys in hand fast. But, it is old. You might need to paint. Tax is full price. You get their tiles. The kitchen might be old.
Your choice. Do you have time? Is modern key? Buy land. Do you want it now? Buy an old home. Both work. You can choose. That is great.
Investing In Gawler's Future
