New development: Community living with a contemporary twist at Norrebro

Intent on creating a community-centred village, Norrebro is set to become one of the Inner North’s gorgeous new precincts.

Designed specifically for Watson, the range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses are a chance to slow down, live simply and connect with people and the surrounding landscape.

Unlike many other newly developed areas, both the apartments and amenities in Norrebro have been planned with equal importance.

“The developers, HTI Group, understand that real communities are established when people embrace the area surrounding their homes,” agent James Herbert says.

“Right at your doorstep will be spaces to play, gather and interact, no matter what stage of life you’re at.”

In the heart of the development lies the urban forecourt – a social landscape with al fresco dining, galleries, performance art and community gardens.

There will also be a large park with a natural playground and plenty of open space, providing an inviting spot for kids and families to play in the open air.

When you want to duck away for some quiet time, there are plenty of pocket parks to wind down in the sun or take a walk through native bushland.

“These outside areas are built to cultivate a community,” Herbert says.

“You can walk to your local cafe and see familiar faces, meet new friends in the playground with your kids, tend to gardens with like-minded people, or watch entertainment on the weekend without having to get in the car – it’s an incredible standard of living.”

The apartments and townhouses themselves have been designed for maximum living space and privacy, and engineered to create a comfortable environment that conserves energy.

Key features include Smeg appliances, plenty of bathroom storage, high ceilings, stone benchtops, double-glazed windows and ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning.

The floorplans take account of the space and light, while the neutral tones used throughout complement the surrounding environment (of which you will enjoy fantastic views). The end result is an inviting home that is very easy to live in.
