Blacktown's most connected apartment development: How DARA's prime location sets it apart
Something you can never change in real estate is location.
Property itself can always be changed, whether it's a knockdown rebuild of a house, or a full renovation of an apartment. One thing that can't be changed is location.
Developer Sitecorp secured a prime spot for its latest Blacktown apartment development DARA on Kildare Road, conveniently yet quietly set just off Balmoral Street, where Blacktown's Westpoint, one of Blacktown's two major shopping precincts, is located.
Westpoint has over 260 retailers and food and beverage options, with the main retailers including Coles, Woolworth and Aldi, Kmart, Big W and Priceline. One of the HOYTS Xtremescreens is the largest standard cinema screen in the country.
Westpoint is next door to Blacktown Train Station, which will connect DARA residents to the city in under 40 minutes.
Blacktown is also home to Sydney's last remaining Drive in Theatre, the Skyline Drive In, a 10-minute drive from DARA. The site for the theatre is also home to Blacktown Markets every Sunday.
Skyline is also next door to Raging Waters, one of Sydney's top water parks. For more family friendly attraction's there's Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park and Sydney Premier Karting Parlk, both also within a 10-minute drive from DARA.
Blacktown has a diverse cultural population, which is reflected in the dining scene. There's traditional Burmese food at Sun's Burmese Kitchen to African delights at Gursha Ethiopian Restaurant. Other culinary options include BT Korean barbecue, Radhe Chatpata House for vegetarian Indian, and Blacktown Chopsticks for traditional Chinese fare.
Beyond the retail and culinary scene, residents of DARA will appreciate the proximity to parklands such as The Blacktown Showground and Joseph Frank Park, just a couple of hundred metres from its doorstep.
Designed by Urban Link, DARA comprises 67 affordable apartments in one, two, and three-bedroom configurations, including a limited selection of spacious garden apartments featuring expansive private courtyards.
