Re: Building with Rawson homes in Camden The hermitage 12Feb 14, 2013 1:41 am I am sorry, what is the problem with having defence housing near you? Re: Building with Rawson homes in Camden The hermitage 13Feb 14, 2013 7:46 am I'd rather have DHA housing than Housing Commission!! Having bought & renovated an ex-DHA house in the past, they are great family homes!

We think it's a great little estate and can't wait to move there. We haven't 100% decided on our builder yet though with still plenty of time before our land is registered. I like the rawson homes but couldnt find a floor plan / size that fitted what we wanted. Whereabouts is your block? I don't see the problem with DHA at all if they maintain the property. Cheers Re: Building with Rawson homes in Camden The hermitage 16Feb 16, 2013 9:11 pm haha not sure if this helps but I live in a DHA house, having been raised by a top bloke who has dedicated his entire working life to the military. I imagine there are bad apples in any bunch, but in my life (as an army kid, and living near the Holsworthy base), I haven't come across any bad ones. DHA attend to issues promptly, both internal and external. Landscaping and fencing issues have been dealt with promptly in my recent experience. We are building in Oran Park, having DHA families nearby might make it more homely for me in a way Kristen & Stephen - Built the Eden Brae Drysdale 27 at Oran Park (We're in!!!) Blog: "Race to Oran Park" - updated 25.8.2014 Re: Building with Rawson homes in Camden The hermitage 17Feb 17, 2013 9:52 am i was going to invest in a dha but didn't go ahead. exercise caution... in terms of capital growth if there are alot in an area imo. nothing about the miltary. we should be proud of them. Re: Building with Rawson homes in Camden The hermitage 18Feb 17, 2013 11:45 pm Hi Roops, we are building a Rawson home in the first stage at the hermitage. There is about 12 DHA houses in this stage and I don't think there will be anymore in the next releases. It's been great having them in our neighborhood for the security. When we first found out we were happy as my step father is a warrant officer & he looks after all of the houses as though they were his own, and it looks like most of our neighbours are looking after there houses in the same way. They have the extra challenge of looking after hedges in our street, as our street had to have hedges (first street in the Hermitage estate).
We are so happy with the build so far and really hoping to be in by the end of April at the absolute latest. Our SS is excellent and everything he says is going to happen does. I recommend the area and we are really looking forward to moving to a quiet little neighborhood and my husband is looking forward to living next to the golf course and golf club! If you want any further info send me a PM. Good luck with your decision! Re: Building with Rawson homes in Camden The hermitage 19Feb 17, 2013 11:52 pm Hi Barbs 79, It's great to hear of someone else building at the Hermitage it was so lonely for a while! Are you building in the second stage? My sister is also building a Rawson house in the street behind us (she hasn't started yet though). Good luck with your choice of builder and look forward to hearing your journey.
