Walking distance to everything: Southport's Eden Garden Residences take in nature and shopping
Eden Garden Residences, the newest off the plan apartment opportunity to become available in Southport, sits in a prime pocket where future residents will be able to walk to everything.
The boutique 54-apartment development by BDA Architecture is located at 20 Bauer Street, on the corner of Chester Terrace which runs down to the James Overell Park and the Nerang River, just a 240 metre walk.
James Overell Park has significant greenery, numerous fitness stations, a fully fenced playground and an offleash dog area. A concrete path loops around the whole park, running along the river.
Only 700 metres for a change of scenery is a a trio of parks; Queens Park, Matron & Sister Higman Park, and Carey Park. The three parks meet the start of the Broadwater Parklands, one of the most popular parks across the whole of the Gold Coast which has recently had a $42 million upgrade.
Still flanking the water, the long stretch of parklands includes the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, Cafe Catalina and Fish Shak, Rockpools (a free water play area) and a swimming lagoon. There's numerous barbecue and picnic areas, playgrounds and lookouts, as well as the Southport Pier.
Parks are well and truly covered with the above, but Eden Garden Residences won't only be ideally located for those who want to take in leisure through nature, but also through shopping.
Southport Park Shopping Centre is just 1.9 kilometres metres away from the Bauer Street project. That has around 50 stores as well as a cinema and restaurants.
Within a two kilometre radius there's also the two-level Australia Fair Shopping Centre, Southport Central, and the Meriton Retail Precinct.
The closest shopping destination to Eden Garden Residences is Brickworks Ferry Road which houses a variety of retailers offering fresh produce, gourmet foods, fashion, and homewares.
While both the parklands and proximity to shopping centres will attract a wide range of buyers to Eden Garden Residences, the 20-minute walk to The Southport School, or the 15-minute drive to Griffith University, will draw the family buyer. There are four primary schools within one kilometre of the project, and five secondary schools.
Residents will of course only be a stone's throw from Main Beach on the other side of the Nerang. That's accessible from the Sundale Bridge, less than a kilometre away. Once across the bridge, you're taking in everywhere from Surfers to Southport Spit, as well as Chevron Island's booming Home of The Arts precinct.
Eden Garden Residences start from $760,000. The project is estimated to be completed in late 2025.
