When looking to purchase your first home, you may hear the same advice repeated – ‘location, location, location’. Finding the perfect suburb, street, and lot on which to raise your family is the most important element. For families and first-home buyers, estates located across Victoria are the perfect areas to achieve the great Australian dream; owning your own home and land. Planning to build or purchase a Melbourne Property in these areas is a great idea, as estates contain their own amenities, growth potential, and community values.

Find the perfect home and location

Choosing the right estate comes down to which suburb contains the most appropriate amenities for you and your family. There are several growing communities surrounding Melbourne and within regional Victoria worth visiting. When touring estates and deciding which to finally call ‘our home’, make sure to pop into all the displays to find your favourite home design. Discover Dennis Family Homes’ brand new displays now open across Melbourne and regional Victoria.

The importance of community

All estates are designed with families in mind through their community focused planned amenities and green spaces. Furthermore, planned amenities mean everything you may need is at your doorstep, including medical facilities, supermarkets, and retail options. Allocated green spaces, including parks, provide great places to get together and socialise, plus many estates hold events in these spaces to further foster strong connections. Communities provide an essential source of social interaction, belonging, and support – important for mental health and building strong social skills and connections.
