Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 151Jan 10, 2014 6:06 pm well bradley street may be one road & in out but the traffic lights should be installed some time this year & at least its a fairly straight road. woolworths should have been finished by now at the ridge but after the ACCC decision I don't know how long before we will see anything built close by. Most of the blocks at the ridge are small but everyone hasn't reduced the size of home so not much backyard. Although the developers told me the days of big back yards are gone as people still want their large living areas but don't want the backyards & prefer that community areas be built close by. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 152Jan 11, 2014 10:40 am I much prefer Mulgoa Rise to the other two estates referred to. We were actually looking out at Luddenham or Silverdale at first. Silverdale would have added too much time to work travel times in the morning, and Luddenham is not connected to the sewer so I didn't fancy pumping out a pit every couple of weeks (otherwise I definitely would have purchased that block). The only estate that came close was Mulgoa Rise. I'm a school teacher so have some good ideas about the local schools and actually did some work at the current primary school for MR a few years back. It is an excellent school, with well behaved students and dedicated staff. Local schools played a massive role in our decision of where to buy. I also like that the blocks are large and that the guidelines exist to make the estate more attractive. Just my thoughts Building the Villina Grande Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 153Jan 11, 2014 5:43 pm Has anyone decided upon the pool builder. Narellan pools and nepean pools would be giving us their quote by next week. Blue heaven pools have given their approximate quote. We are not yet sure whether we should go for fiberglass or concrete. Can anyone suggest something? Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 154Jan 12, 2014 11:18 am @dream_home93 - silverdale is nice but for the properties valuations are down at silverdale & are very slow to increase. Recently listed as one of the suburbs that is not increasing in line with other suburbs. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 155Jan 12, 2014 12:49 pm In regard to increasing value, has anyone sought advice on the possible value of properties in Mulgoa Rise in the future? My husband seems to think that if we build a large house, we will not get a very good increase in the value of it in the future should we want to sell. He is so damn annoying, every suggestion I have for a suburb he shoots down. He has a very ingrained attitude of "there is no way I am living in Glenmore Park" - he wants to do a knockdown rebuild in a suburb like Leonay, the problem is that properties like that are a dime a dozen and I don't want to be waiting another 5 years for something to come up!! Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 156Jan 13, 2014 2:24 pm I have built at Mugloa Rise as well, as a owner builder. Our house is behind the sales car park as you drive in. As a owner builder I can put you on to good trades people that I would recommed and have used on my house if needed. We move in on the 21st Dec started at the end of April. It was hard work as a OB but my wife and I are happy overall as we choose the finishes that we wanted, and made a lot of changes to the design on the fly.I will upload photos of the finish inside. We also check out the other estates but found Muloga Rise design and location suited to our needs with small kids. Waterside/Jordan Springs to far from the M4. We time this back 2 years ago and average 15mins to reach the freeway. Never have been a fan of Caddens Rd, the road really needs to be fixed, to hilly and just seems cramp driving past. the roundabout at Glenmore Park on Northern Rd will be changing to lights,a new roundabout at Bradley St and new on-ramp to the M4 from Kent St. (No set dates, but it is on the drawing baords to happen). Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 157Jan 13, 2014 3:06 pm Hi PaulZ. Your home looks great. Would love to see some photos of the inside. We have bought at the top of Darug Ave and the house plans are with council for approval. We weren't as game as you being an owner builder - so we are building an Eden Brae. Getting excited about it all. Just want something to happen. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 158Jan 15, 2014 9:38 am PaulZ the roundabout at Glenmore Park on Northern Rd will be changing to lights,a new roundabout at Bradley St and new on-ramp to the M4 from Kent St. (No set dates, but it is on the drawing baords to happen). I am wondering where you found this info about the parkway being changed to traffic lights as I read something on line where they submitted tenders for costings which included not to change the roundabout but to include bradley street lights as it was cheaper. When I purchased my land at the ridge I asked the developer if we would be getting a roundabout at bradley street & they told me no it would be traffic lights. I see on the corner of bradley & northern rd the rta have their car counting unit there to calculate the flow of traffic. Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 159Jan 15, 2014 11:47 am Ah Sunrise... I think I've seen your application! If I am correct, I am about 5 or 6 blocks down from you. I think our DAs were registered on the same day as every time I search my DA, yours comes up too... Hoping we both get out of council quickly Building the Villina Grande Re: Anyone building in Mulgoa Rise? 160Jan 15, 2014 7:23 pm Yes that's us. When I check Council I see your tender as well. Hope council do there thing quickly. Our build date is fast approaching. And of course we just want to see some action (like everyone else) Wish you all the best.
