How To: pick the best apartment for a family

More and more families are opting for apartment living due to its affordability, convenience and proximity to amenities. At Cornus Developments, we understand that families need a comfortable and spacious living space, which is why we offer a range of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in Carnegie, Oakleigh, Sandringham and Glen Iris. Here are some tips for making the most of your family's apartment living experience.

The Importance of Space

When it comes to raising a family in an apartment, space is key. At Cornus, we understand the importance of providing enough room for your family to move, play and relax. That's why we offer a variety of spacious 2 and 3 bedroom apartments that cater to the needs of families. Our apartments feature generous living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms, ensuring that your family has ample space to live comfortably, with the added benefit of an outdoor area (courtyard or balcony). Let’s take a look at some of our apartments suitable for family living, in Carnegie Apartment G03 boasts an internal space of 103m2 and a courtyard of 218m2, while our Glen Iris Apartment G04 offers an internal size of 84m2 and a courtyard of 90m2 with bedroom access directly to the courtyard. In Oakleigh, Apartment G07 also offers 2 separate private courtyards- one for adults and one for the kids. 

Educational Institutions

We understand the crucial role that education plays in the development of your children. That's why our apartments are strategically located in areas that offer both quality, education and ample recreational facilities.

For instance, in Carnegie, you'll have access to the prestigious Monash University and a range of excellent primary and secondary schools, such as Kilvington Grammar and Glen Huntly Primary School. In Oakleigh, you'll find Oakleigh Grammar and Sacred Heart Primary & Girls Secondary School’s, all of which offer excellent educational opportunities for your children. And in Glen Iris, the prestigious Caulfield Grammar, Korowa Anglican Girls and Sacre Coeur are all located within close proximity to our apartments, providing an exceptional educational experience for your children. 

Public Transport

Public transport is pertinent to modern living, and our Cornus projects are situated near trams, trains and buses- making it easier for your family to get around. You won't have to worry about long commutes or traffic congestion. Instead, you'll be able to enjoy a hassle-free journey to school or work, with convenient public transport options right at your doorstep.

Local Amenities

Our lives are so busy it’s hard to find time to complete the activities of daily living, which is why living close to amenities is so important. Having a set of local shops that includes food, bread and a post office make life that little bit easier. Which is why at Cornus, we consider these life necessities and ensure our projects are within minutes. For instance, our Cornus Carnegie project is just a short 180m stroll away from Glen Huntly Village. Living in Oakleigh means a life surrounded by lush greenery and parkland, with Caloola Reserve and Scotchmans Creek on your doorstep, plus Eaton Mall is only 1km away. Alternatively, Glen Iris is an excellent option, with Glen Iris Park and Wetlands, Tooronga Village and HomeCo all within minutes. 

Safety

Providing safety and a safe home to our residents is of high importance to us. Our secure fob access ensures that only residents and authorised guests can enter the building. You can feel confident knowing that your family is safe and protected at all times. We understand that privacy is important to you and your family, which is why our apartments are designed with soundproofing through double insulated walls, double glazed windows and privacy screens. You can enjoy the peace and quiet of your home without worrying about noise from your neighbours, ensuring that your family can relax and unwind in a calm and serene environment. At Cornus, we believe that a safe and peaceful living environment is essential for your family's well-being. That's why we've taken every measure to ensure that our apartments provide the perfect balance of security and privacy, so you can enjoy the ultimate living experience.

Affordability
Affordability is a key consideration for many families when choosing a place to live and at Cornus Developments, we understand the importance of providing housing options that are budget-friendly. Apartment living offers a more affordable alternative to traditional houses, allowing families to enjoy the benefits of homeownership without the hefty price tag. By opting for an apartment, families can take advantage of lower upfront costs, reduced maintenance expenses and often lower utility bills, making it a financially practical choice. 

Moreover, apartment living can also lead to long-term savings by cutting down on commuting costs. Our strategic locations near public transportation hubs make it easy for families to access schools, workplaces, and other amenities without the need for owning a car.

By choosing a Cornus apartment, families can enjoy the best of both worlds - comfortable and spacious living spaces at a price that fits their budget.
