First home buyers have been eyeing the affordable off-the-plan apartments in Cultivate, the latest development in Heidelberg West by the developer Kincaid.

The prominent architecture firm DKO have designed the apartments, which start from as low as $369,000.

The two-bedroom apartments start from $479,000, over $130,000 less than Heidelberg West's median two-bedroom apartment price of $610,000.

Cultivate, toward the tree-lined top of Bell Street, comprises 146 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two towers.

Most apartments will offer views to the CBD or Dandenong Ranges. There will be a communal garden on the top of the southern tower and on top of the podium that connects the two towers.

Cultivate has a walkscore of 80, representing a very walkable neighbourhood with easy access to decorated educational institutions like La Trobe University, the RMIT Bundoora Campus, Our Lady of Mercy College, Ivanhoe Grammar School and Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar School.

It is located just 12km north east of Melbourne’s CBD, which is accessible via a range of public transport options. The conveniently located freeway provides easy access to get out of Melbourne, linking to the Mornington Peninsula and the Yarra Valley winery region, while the Eastern Freeway makes the CBD easily accessible.

The nearby Yarra Valley Parklands offer a diverse range of activity, golf courses, bike paths & canoeing along the Yarra River.

West Heidelberg is part of a National Employment and Innovation Cluster, as identified by the Victorian Planning Authority, and is home to some of Melbourne’s largest medical and research centres.
