Apartment living is increasingly taking its place in inner Auckland suburbs as a desirable option and so accordingly, Eleven East brings a relaxed and easy, lock-up-and-leave progressive lifestyle to Papakura – a well-established community which is currently experiencing a newly expanding dawn of exciting opportunities.

As part of the Eleven East ground-breaking development – in central Papakura – great care has been taken in order to produce units that are well-constructed and sturdy, yet affordable and attractive, while still appealing particularly to first-home buyers – many of whom are still waiting keenly for a chance to get onto the property ladder.

Savvy investors are already appreciating a lack of quality rentals – a mindset which shows no sign of abating, according to Maxine van den Berg from Harcourts, Papakura, who is marketing the development with her colleagues.

“We have 35 spacious, modern apartments here, with loads of attractive features,” she says.

“They’ve been very well built, using solid concrete tilt slab construction, as a result they’re well protected from internal moisture and mould while the concrete’s thermal properties keep the units warm in winter and cool in summer, ensuring that maintenance can be kept to a minimum.”

The décor throughout the units is relaxed and contemporary, with a bright airiness, coupled with balanced, earth-based colours and textures. The well-appointed kitchens are functional while the bathrooms are classic, streamlined and the bedrooms generous with space. Potential purchasers will be impressed with the spacious living, dining and family spaces which are on offer.

Maxine adds that the complex has been designed for maximum accessibility: it’s wheelchair friendly and has other helpful features such as carefully situated light switches and power sockets, a lift, and excellent fire and security measures – plus acoustic separation.

“This all means that while first-home buyers, investors, single people and small families will definitely be interested, there’s also potential for older people to downsize and ‘future-proof’ their lifestyles.”

Maxine adds that Eleven East’s top floor apartments – in the heart of Papakura – enjoy impressive views and the development is situated in a top residential neighbourhood, with completion expected in the next few months.

Papakura itself, has been up-and-coming for quite some time as cosmopolitan Auckland continues to extend its reach, creating thriving cultural communities.

Cafes and restaurants, shops and malls keep the neighbourhood buzzing, and the local schools are well-regarded and include Papakura Central and Rosehill College.

The suburb is known for its cultural facilities – including Massey Park, Bruce Pullman, Karaka Blood Stock, Hawkins Theatre and Sir Edmond Hillary Library – and the community is very sports-focused with swimming, athletics, badminton, soccer, gymnastics and tennis facilities.

It’s close to semi-rural communities, the Greater Counties Manukau/ Franklin/ Clevedon – the latter with its famous Sunday market, and there are a number of popular walks and cycle ways in the vicinity, including coastal walkways and Auckland’s Botanical Gardens.

The 35 two-bedroom apartments come with one bathroom and are priced at $659,000.
