Browse Forums Buying Land Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 187Sep 13, 2016 12:49 pm Puddlette Drove to see what was going on in stage 1 today - looks like they've made a fair amount of progress since last time I went.. Lots of machinery and the land is much more levelled and some of the mounds of dirt have been taken away. Lots of pipes on site too. Sounds good, fingers crossed for stage 2 Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 188Sep 21, 2016 10:57 pm Hey guys what do u think. My rankings of best estates in officer and pakenham in order based on frontages , block sizes and location and market demand. I just put the whole lot together to work out a ranking in my view. 'The list below are all the estates and locations I've been to and drove past and monitored on realestate based on buyer demand frontage lot size etc. The order is probably in the order i would buy. The last 4 estates on the bottom in my view in terms of price growth over the longer term won't reach the likes of timbertop, heritage springs(pakenham), arena and grandvue. No disrespect to anybody who lives in the bottom few rankings and i'm glad i even have a roof over my head but the reality is the people who developed those estates were only thinking about making money i.e. releasing as much blocks all squashed up as possible with bugger haul frontage on them and not thinking like the timbertops, grandvues, heritage springs and arenas if you know what i mean. Basically dog boxes but again no offence to anybody who bought there. I think by far timbertop is the runaway winner and will give beaconsfield and berwick a run for it's money based on price growth over the medium to long term. Soon it will also catch up to Lyndhurst which is also going through the roof. 1. timbertop by far the leader of the pack 2. grandvue 3. arena 4. heritage springs pakenham 5. arcadia 5. lakeside 6. worthington 7. potters grove north 8. savannah 9. park central 10. potters grove south of highway 11. cherington Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 189Sep 22, 2016 9:21 am estate_lover Hey guys what do u think.

Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 190Sep 22, 2016 11:35 am Very difficult to rate something like this as every block and house is different and it all comes down to personal opinion and can't judge until all the estates are completed and everyone has their landscaping finished. Build thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81011 Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 191Sep 22, 2016 12:44 pm Interesting observation of the area. Are you in the industry? I guess many people want different things in a block - some people want small, some people don't. From all of the above listed estates, they pretty much have a mix of smaller blocks and larger blocks to suit everyone. I hope you find what you're looking for in an estate, there is definitely no 'one size fits all' answer Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 192Sep 22, 2016 6:46 pm Yeah i guess to be fair most of them haven't been fully completed yet but i guess you get an idea and feel if you drive around. I suppose each to their own. I guess the things i like about an estate is presence, wide streets, big frontages, landscaping, nice houses, good location and price growth potential over the longer term vs other suburbs and estates. Maybe sometimes what appeals to me won't appeal to others. Some might like living near railway tracks some might even enjoy living furthur out and getting away from the hustle and bustle near inner suburbs. I guess there is a lot of factors to consider. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 193Sep 22, 2016 6:56 pm south sliding somewhere between 6-7 based on my ranks. That's just me though Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 195Sep 23, 2016 10:16 am I am probably 250m from train line and can hardly hear them. Build thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81011 anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 196Sep 23, 2016 12:28 pm I love that I'll be close to the train line and station, less distance to walk to/from the station for work.
If you can't hear the train from 250m from the track then it sounds like unless your house is right on the tracks, it won't bother anyone. Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 197Sep 23, 2016 3:12 pm The traffic from the Monash is louder than the trains but neither bother me. We have double glazed windows so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Re: anyone buying land in officer VIC(South Siding estate)? 200Oct 06, 2016 11:06 am So my Dad decided to go for a little adventure when the fence was down. took a few photos of stage 1...walked down Pioneer Way and then turned left on Captain Street towards Mulligan Circuit.
