Case study: Warm, friendly welcome in Weston Creek

Family reasons drew Barbara Wallace from her Mittagong home to a new life in Chapman some 12 years ago.

“I moved to be closer to family. I really didn’t know much about Canberra. My only experience had been visiting and getting lost,” she says.

Barbara settled into her new home on Perry Drive with its close proximity to the local primary school another selling point.

“It turned out to be a really good move,” she says.

“I love that Weston Creek is close to everything. I’m the local IGA’s best customer, but it’s also an easy drive into Civic.”

Barbara, who works from home, believes the district has the feel of a country town.

“This is the 13th home I’ve lived in and the area reminds me of Bathurst where I once lived,” she says.

“It really is the warmest, friendliest place to live.”

Barbara will soon be making her 14th move, but she won’t be lost to Weston Creek. She’s moving about three kilometres to Holder to be even closer to family.

Number 82 Perry Drive, Chapman, is being sold through Cream Residential.
