For homeowners seeking low-maintenance living, finding the right home while staying in the same area can be challenging – especially in an inner-west favourite like Five Dock.
Many locals already know and love the area as a well-connected location close to parks, shops and the everyday essentials.
That’s why for those searching for apartment living in the neighbourhood, a major new mixed-use precinct is attracting plenty of attention.
Five Dock has long been one of the Inner West's favourite suburbs.
Located just minutes from the waterfront, Kings Bay Village offers apartment living in a modern village-style precinct sprawled across 3ha.
The project brings more housing choice to the area with 1185 apartments across five unique buildings, surrounded on the ground level by parks and lush landscaped green spaces.
It also offers residents extensive amenity with a 14,700sqm retail precinct anchored by a major supermarket and featuring its own market square, cafes, bars and shops.
David Milton, Director of SRM Residential, says the village-inspired plan is comprehensive with the aim of having exactly what residents need and want – right on their doorstep.
“It’s such a great spot within the Inner West, but this development goes that extra step and is going to bring an enormous amount of amenity and convenience to buyers living there," he shares.
“There’ll be a major supermarketbelow, shops and dining, and there's really good open spaces where people can feel part of their community."
To top it off, the design of the buildings themselves is considered and cohesive.
“They are all different in their finishes, but they’re like a family," Mr Milton explains.
“They’re beautiful, tall, slender and the design is offset so this actually maximises the views from the apartments, and some have really decently sized terraces.”
Kings Bay Village combines modern residential towers with a revitalised street-level precinct.
Residents of all types are being drawn to Kings Bay Village with Mr Milton saying this is reflected in the broad range of apartments on offer.
There are one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments priced between $800,000 and $1.7 million.
The floorplans couple large bedrooms with spacious living areas and have all been designed with plenty of natural light in mind.
Mr Milton says that downsizing will be the goal for many buyers and that the precinct's mix will appeal especially to this demographic, especially those who want to stay close to their children, parents and friends in the inner Sydney area.
However, there's also plenty of appeal for younger buyers and he expects the 218 affordable homes within the buildings will be snapped up quickly.
The homes at Kings Bay Village are designed to be spacious and light-filled with full-length windows.
At the heart of the Kings Bay Village success is a foundation of collaboration.
Delivered by Deicorp, a developer with two decades of experience, the project is also a partnership with multi-award-winning design firm Turner, which specialises in urban architecture.
"It's been a really good team," says Mr Milton, adding that the result is something truly well thought-out and refined.
He says that, given the offering, they've been unsurprised by the attention the project is getting so far.
“There’s been very little new stock – particularly new stock of this quality – in the area,” he says.
“So, we've had buyers from all over from the Inner West, South Sydney, the North Shore and the north-west area.”
The fact that work has already begun is also a major drawcard for buyers.
“It’s under construction, which is a big thing,” Mr Milton explains.
He adds that buyers can also follow all the construction through monthly updates provided on the Kings Bay Village website.
“Buyers can have confidence, knowing that this is something that is actually going to be delivered. They can see the progress for themselves.”
