Change the way you live
A WORLDWIDE trend in urban living is being built from the ground up in the centre of Cairns for the first time in the city’s history.
Over two years in the making, homes in The Village Edge are now available for purchase.
Designed to change the way you live by creating a small-scale development in a central setting, The Village Edge is unlike anything before it in Cairns.
Offering freehold lots in a secure, masterplanned development, The Village Edge combines adaptable designs, the latest technology and centralised convenience.
Rachel Fennell from Urban Properties says The Village Edge is a first for Cairns and reflects a global trend towards urban living, smaller footprints and bespoke design.
“Times have changed, and many people no longer want to live in a big square box on a block of land and tend their yards, go to work all week and then spend all weekend at home,” she says.
“People have a big lifestyle, and the designs in The Village Edge reflect that change in modern living.
“It’s all about interacting with technology, low maintenance homes with contemporary design and being able to enjoy the lifestyle you want to create.”
The Village Edge is less than five minutes drive from the CBD, and close to the international airport, sporting facilities, restaurants and cafes .
James Fennel from Urban Properties explains The Village Edge caters to home buyers’ desire to leave a smaller footprint on the planet.
“They want more time in their day, they want to take on less debt, and every one of us wants to enjoy our lifestyle more,” he says.
“The Village Edge offers proximity to the best Cairns has to offer, whether it’s the CBD, the Esplanade or the Botanic Gardens and walking trails, shopping, restaurants and cafes, the airport, and services.
“Those elements combine to deliver a better quality of life and The Village Edge offers it all for the very first time in Cairns.”
The development features 52 freehold lots with homes available in three styles –Edge, Village and Terraces – to provide a range of elegant, contemporary and cool options for a range of homeowners and investors.
The Village Edge will be built in one of Queensland’s fastest selling suburbs where rising prices and impressive rental yields position this development as highly desirable for both first homebuyers and astute investors.
Young families will also have the benefit of being located within the catchment area for Edge Hill State School, one of Queensland’s highest achieving primary schools.
Stage one of The Village Edge is now under construction, and is due for completion in early August.
