Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2832Jan 28, 2020 8:24 pm Hi Guys, We group of friends planning to buy land and build homes either in Elara or Newpark... i hope many of you are residing at Elara now. Would you please share your experience and suggestions related to Elara? 1. Would you recommend Elara or Newpark? 2. How does the traffic situation look during peak hours? 3. Any idea about current land evaluations? 4. Do you feel chosing Elara (as in Marsden Park) was a good decision for you? Thanks heaps in advance. Cheers. Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2833Feb 05, 2020 3:25 pm 1. Would you recommend Elara or Newpark? Depends on your budget. Elara is almost established and so is expensive than NewPark. 2. How does the traffic situation look during peak hours? Its bad, so is anywhere in Sydney! 3. Any idea about current land evaluations? This is getting better. Evaluations are coming equal to purchase price or above. I think market is picking up. 4. Do you feel chosing Elara (as in Marsden Park) was a good decision for you? Was the best decision considering what I could afford when I purchased it. When I first went to have a look at the plots, Marsden Park looked more country side than Schofields or other nearer suburbs, but all my friends from those suburbs now travel all the way to Marsden Park for their essential shopping and to have a good coffee at Starbucks or to eat out in a place like the Marsden Hotel. Colebee is the one suburb I wish I could have a look at 3 years ago. Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2834Feb 19, 2020 3:25 pm Thanks buddy. I ended up booking a lot in stage 51 last weekend. As of now, the contract is with the solicitor. Waiting for his analysis of the contract and lot conditions. Just wondering what extra costs are involved in corner lot build.

Cheers With corner lots, developers have extra guidelines for the secondary facade, including the articulation and landscaping requirements. In other words, because one side of your house shows directly to the street, they want you to make it nice - hence the extra things you may be required to put in. Obviously things like fencing will be extra as there's no one else to share the cost with as well. Some thing to think about. However, corner lots can be great if you can get past the additional cost. $395 Fixed Priced Landscape Plans for DA M: 0435 127 244 | W: bluegumdesign.com.au | E: info@bluegumdesign.com.au Residential | Commercial | Industrial Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2837Mar 20, 2020 10:25 am Brahma Bull Singhkd Thanks buddy.

Personally we like corner lots due to energy efficiency and Stockland put little lesser price tags on corner lots so as to cover extra constructions costs as you mentioned. However, with current financial crisis and Corona break out, seems like i may have locked it potentially at wrong time. With property prices expected to fall big time in coming months, there will be a big gap in the lock down price and valuation at the time of land settlement. So bit worried now.... have to go with the flow with no other option left... Re: Stockland Elara at Marsden Park 2838Sep 20, 2020 12:06 am Hi Guys, Looking forward for evaluation on my 400m2 plot. Does anyone got less evaluation than the purchase price? What's the best bet to go with evaluation from?
