Killarney Ponds, Box Hill - 4 Alan Street, Box Hill

Downsizers and rightsizers have dominated the new and off the plan apartment market in 2024.

The two camps, downsizers in particular, are the least impacted by the continued high interest rates compared to a first home buyer or investor, positioning them as a key target for developers. Most of the new apartment developments that have come to the market in 2024 have been large apartments that suit the size and budgets of a downsizer.

Many downsizers have built significant equity in their family homes over the years and are now looking to move into more manageable living spaces, while also securing funds for retirement.

But where are downsizers and rightsizers looking to buy?&nbsp;

In this article, we've looked at the most popular suburbs in Sydney for both buyer demographics, highlighting some of the most popular developments in those areas.

<h2>Crows Nest</h2>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a> has attracted a wide range of apartment buyers over the past three months, especially following the launch of two of Sydney's most in-demand developments near, and above, the newly opened Metro station.

Apartments in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/elevate-hume-place-crows-nest-25-hume-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Elevate Hume Place</a>, the apartment development by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/thirdi-group">Third.i</a>&nbsp;and joint venture partner Phoenix Property Investors above the Crows Nest Metro Station, have been snapped up since they hit the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142550 project_image_fid=309371]

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, Elevate will comprise 130 one, two and three and four-bedroom apartments, the larger apartments proving popular with the next home buyer demographic given the connectivity to the city and the growing lifestyle on offer locally.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/twt-property-group">TWT Property Group</a>&nbsp;also has recently revealed&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-collective-crows-nest-23-35-atchison-st-crows-nest">The Collective</a>&nbsp;nearby, on the fringe of Crows Nest village and a short walk from the metro.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94318 project_image_fid=293324]

Locals have driven the sales in the first building of what will be a multi-stage precinct with extensive retail and hospitality spaces.

<h2>Newcastle West</h2>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a> has grown in stature over the last few years, particularly with those who live in the wider Newcastle region who want to downsize to a brand new apartment closer to the city.

The most recent demand from downsizers and rightsizers has been toward the recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/era-newcastle-124-126-bull-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ERA by GWH</a>, designed by FK Australia for the owner-occupier.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=309968]

The apartments, wrapped in glass to bring in as much natural light as possible, include premium fixtures and finishes, kitchen islands to offer another entertaining option in the kitchen, and large balconies.

There will be over 2,000 sqm of communal space across the two buildings, connected by a&nbsp;podium will feature a large outdoor pool, gym, fitness studio, and sauna, as well as several barbecue and dining areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=309976]

Each building will have a rooftop garden with panoramic views.

<h2>Castle Hill</h2>

After decades of limited supply for downsizers apartment from smaller family homes, Castle Hill is starting to see a new tranche of apartments that are being snapped up by downsizers.

&nbsp;

Developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/cpdm">CPDM</a>&nbsp;has targeted the rightsizer, downsizer demographic at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/larool-crescent-castle-hill-2-22-larool-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Larool Crescent</a>, one of the only new developments to launch in Castle Hill in 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=289121]

They have large apartments, skyhomes with rooftop terraces, and low-maintenace townhouses with internal lifts, that cater for the two buyer types.

The five low-rise buildings, a rarity in Castle Hill, have been designed around a central courtyard, bringing nature through landscaping into the apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=308975]

Larool Crescent is also the only off the plan apartment development to have Latent Defects Insurance, the sought-after insurance policy that protects buyers against any structural defects for 10 years post completion of the building.

&nbsp;

<h2>Norwest</h2>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/norwest-nsw-2153">Norwest</a> was only established as a suburb in 2018 of the Hills District. It's another that's been popular with those who have lived in the Hills and don't want to leave the region to downsize.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House&nbsp;Australia</a>&nbsp;have been one of the most prominent developers in Norwest since securing an 8.1-hectare site back in 2016 when the land was classed as being in Baulkham Hills.

Since then they've been developing their large masterplan, The Orchards, near Norwest Metro Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145924 project_image_fid=287366]

Downsizers have been the most prominent buyer type at the latest stages, Veue.

Veue, the fourth stage of The Orchards, offers 577 apartments,&nbsp;nearly half of the total apartments that will make up the masterplan.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-orchards-veue-parkside-norwest-15-19-spurway-drive-norwest-nsw-2153">Veue Parkside</a>, the most recent release, will comprise 156 apartments across two buildings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145924 project_image_fid=287364]

Sekisui will be continuing to cater for downsizers in its penultimate stage, 209 apartments across two 12 and nine-level buildings designed by Rothelowman. A third building will home communal amenity.

<h2>Box Hill</h2>

Box Hill is another suburb which in recent years hasn't really had enough options for downsizers.

That's why local developer&nbsp;Kellarney Developments focused its new apartment development,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/killarney-ponds-box-hill-4-alan-street-box-hill">Killarney Ponds</a>, around the rightsizer and downsizer.

Located just outside the emerging Box Hill Town Centre, Killarney Ponds will have 93 two and three-bedroom apartments that will complete in early 2025.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22636 project_image_fid=297513]

The three-bedroom apartments offer 115 sqm of internal living space and a priced under $1 million.

Comparable Box Hill apartment developments also don't offer the same level of amenity as Killarney Ponds, which will offer a multi-purpose room, a fully-equipped gym, a&nbsp;work-from-home centre with integrated desks and meeting rooms, as well as several outdoor spaces with alfresco and picnic areas.

The most popular Sydney suburbs for downsizers and rightsizers in 2024

A growing family and a long-term commitment to a lifestyle that ticked all the boxes were the two key drivers behind the recent purchase of a penthouse at Killarney Ponds in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/box-hill-nsw-2765">Box Hill</a>.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/killarney-ponds-box-hill-4-alan-street-box-hill">Killarney Ponds</a>, the new development by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/kellarney-developments">Kellarney Developments</a>&nbsp;that is slated for completion early next year, has been intentionally designed so it not only offers larger-scale apartments than any other new development in the area, but the community facilities to match, creating an environment where its residents can thrive privately and socially.

We recently spoke with a buyer of one of the penthouse apartments to hear firsthand why they bought in&nbsp;Killarney Ponds.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wy4Blv8jK-A?si=rKKxGXAMzh4jUSDj" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The young family secured a two-level penthouse, with three bedrooms set privately on the second level, away from the main kitchen, living and dining space. The apartment, including terraces, spans around 140 sqm, one of the biggest apartments in Box Hill.

The buyer spoke not only about the rarity of such an apartment, but also about the facilities within the building that they intend to use. Residents will have access to&nbsp;a function room, outdoor barbecue area, and playground on level one, along with a gym and technology hub on level two.&nbsp;

There's also an exclusive rooftop terrace reserved just for the penthouse owners.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22636 project_image_fid=297514]

Speaking about buying off the plan for the first time, the purchaser said it suited their needs because the family didn't need to move in straight away.

"We wanted to find the right place because this is a long-term decision that we're making for our family," the buyer said.

"It's a 10+ year decision for us, so we didn't want to rush into looking for an established place if we didn't need to. we would rather wait, and when we saw the opportunity, and say all the boxes were ticked, we jumped on it and it was a no-brainer."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22636 project_image_fid=297513]

It was the first time purchasing off the plan, and the buyer highlighted the effort taken by the McGrath Projects team to help them understand the process.

Reputable builder Sitecorp is approaching completion of the building, with internal fitout to commence soon after.&nbsp;

Why apartments at Killarney Ponds in Box Hill are suiting the family buyer: Urban Buyer Q&A

Box Hill in Sydney's northwest is ready for one of its most design-conscious projects to date with <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/killarney-ponds-box-hill-4-alan-street-box-hill">Killarney Ponds</a>, the new apartment development by locals Kellarney Developments.

Killarney Ponds, located just outside the emerging <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/box-hill-nsw-2765">Box Hill</a> Town Centre, has been designed to meet the needs of both families and working professionals seeking larger apartments and lifestyle-focused amenities, two points of difference when compared to other developments around the Box Hill area.

Approaching completion in early 2025,&nbsp;Killarney Ponds comprises a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments that emphasise indoor-outdoor living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22636 project_image_fid=297513]

To maximise natural light, apartments have soaring ceilings just under three-metres, creating a sense of space and when meeting the sliding glass doors that open to a balcony or a courtyard, allow for maximum natural light to flood the interiors.

The three-bedroom apartments start from a generous 115 sqm of internal living space, and a further 10 sqm of terraces.

There are several two-level apartments, some with two bedrooms and some with three, including a three-bedroom penthouse that has its own private rooftop terrace and is priced under $1 million.

Resident amenity has been a big focus in Killarney Ponds, a level unrivalled in the local area. It starts from the entry to the development. There are three hotel-style lobbies which were designed to create an immediate impression on residents and their guests.

Facilities include a multi-purpose function room, expected to be used for community events as well as booked for private occasions like birthday parties, a fully-equipped gym, a work-from-home centre with integrated desks and meeting rooms, as well as several outdoor spaces with alfresco and picnic areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22636 project_image_fid=257931]

The first stage of the project has already sold out, demonstrating strong demand in the Box Hill market, a market that is growing at a significant rate, driven by the improvements being made in the region.

Killarney Ponds is strategically positioned to benefit from the growth in infrastructure. The area is part of the NSW Government’s North West Priority Growth Area, which is anticipated to bring significant infrastructure improvements and job opportunities.

It's a short walk from the future Box Hill Town Centre, an upcoming hub featuring retail, dining, and recreational spaces set around a central lake.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22636 project_image_fid=257928]

Carmel Village, less than two kilometres away, offers everyday essentials with over 30 specialty stores including Coles and Aldi.

Families benefit from being close to a variety of schools, while healthcare needs will be well-served by the new $700 million Rouse Hill Hospital, set to complete in 2027. Rouse Hill Station is within three kilometres, providing easy access to the Sydney Metro.

Reputable construction company Sitecorp is handling the build of Killarney Ponds. They are anticipating an early 2025 completion, with residents moving in shortly after.

Box Hill's best new apartment development approaches completion

Sydney's north west is booming at the moment as more take to the outskirts of the city.

The development of the Metro train line aided in the growth, with easier connections to the CBD and wider community and major drawcard.&nbsp;

But there's also been a major influx of residential development, not only catering to the demand, but also bringing new residents into the north-western suburbs.&nbsp;

Prominent developers Deicorp have been a major player in the game out west, with the group currently developing both the Hills Showground Precinct in Castle Hill and Tallawong Village just outside of Rouse Hill.

That's where Kellarney Developments are also developing, just outside of Rouse Hill at Box Hill.&nbsp;

The group have made lifestyle a priority when designing the homes, which feature stylish, modern spaces that&nbsp;extend from the living spaces into common areas, including an array of lobby-style common areas.

There's also a collection of just eight townhouses on offer at Killarney Ponds, spanning from&nbsp;140 sqm to 165 sqm, as well as a more premium offering of penthouse apartments in the upper levels of the building.&nbsp;

Penthouse residents will enjoy a private alfresco area, while there's also a larger alfresco area for all residents on the ground floor, in addition to a picnic area, gym and function room.&nbsp;
