The North is a great refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. With proximity to the unspoiled riches of nature, it’s a place for quiet and contemplation that the whole family can enjoy. Better yet, you will have ample living spaces at relatively affordable prices. If you’re considering a move up North, here are our top two property recommendations.
Nestled in Sunrise Terrace and inspired by Hawaiian gardens, Alana is a lush tropical hideaway for those who love having plenty of room. Each 3-storey home offers generous spaces within which to explore multiple possibilities – allowing you to create an ideal place for every member of the family.
Connect with your neighbourhood
This is a great place to foster the community spirit that is all too rare in modern city life. Take a walk around and you’ll find plenty of opportunities to engage with the community:

• There are plenty of playgrounds for your kids to meet and play with new friends from the neighbourhood.
