Boasting communal amenities and a vibrant community feel, Box Hill is an area with its residents’ best interests at heart.

R&F Property’s latest multi-residential development, Prospect Apartments, is ideally located in this fast-growing melting pot suburb.

Box Hill features a sensational multicultural food scene, hosting almost every cuisine imaginable in restaurant form.

“However, it is Asian food that rules this suburb”, R&F Property said. An impressive collection of restaurants rivals that of the CBD and Chinatown.

A short walk from Prospect is Box Hill Gardens, the recreational epicentre of the East Melbourne suburb, including playgrounds, cricket pitch and barbeque facilities.

This once quaint suburb has evolved and is constantly on the move, described as thriving and cosmopolitan, yet homely, with couples and families making up 37.7 per cent of the suburb’s demographics, according to REA.

Box Hill has become a major educational destination thanks to easy access to the freeway and endless public transport options.

It hosts Deakin University and the Box Hill Institute, as well as primary and secondary offerings.

The suburb also offers great investment opportunities, with weekly asking property prices on two-bedroom rising 8.1 per cent in the last quarter alone, according to SQM Research.

Prospect Apartments delivers discerning buyers the choice to enjoy hotel-style living experiences amongst this diverse community.

The collection of 193 residences is a clean addition to Box Hill’s skyline. Designed by Hayball, the exterior boasts an elegant and refined form with a poised glass façade.

Each apartment offers residents a choice between an East Scheme and West Scheme, each offering unique design perspectives that present a calming family space.

Among the project’s numerous amenities includes a porte-cochèrre, pool gym and concierge service.

Prospect is expected to reach completion in 2022.
