Why Fletcher’s Slip is an ideal location for First Home Buyers

Ideal for first home buyers, Fletcher’s Slip is a unique, waterfront address. The perfect place for those looking for a brand-new home in a place that has it all. It doesn’t get much better than being nestled between historic Port Adelaide and seaside Semaphore. Both are established and much-loved communities offering a range of amenities, services, and activities. People who live here really know that ‘west is best’.

Fletcher’s Slip apartments and townhomes are a unique opportunity to hit your first rung on the property ladder, particularly as a more affordable option compared to established properties in the area.

Location and amenities

Location and lifestyle are key when it comes to finding your new home. Fletcher’s Slip is perfectly positioned between the best of Port Adelaide and Semaphore – between harbour and the sea. A new master planned waterfront community inspired by history but with all the attributes for comfortable, contemporary living.

Wide landscaped paths will trace the water’s edge, returning access to the evocative harbour. Generous open spaces, designed to offer changing views of the harbour, will also provide space for play and relaxation. Think morning jogs, walking with the pram while taking in panoramic harbour views or playing with the dog on warm, balmy evenings.

Wander over the bridge to Port Adelaide and you will lose yourself down historic lanes, in quaint shops and fascinating museums. Spend lazy afternoons discovering historic buildings, specialist food outlets and even enjoy a beer or two at your local.

Just a short walk from Fletcher’s Slip is the charm and history of Semaphore. With an eclectic seaside and unique cafes, you’ll discover interesting shops and artisans on both sides of Semaphore Road. Further to the west is Semaphore’s famous beach, with wide, family friendly lawns and pristine white sandy coastline. On summer evenings you can sit and watch the world go by or enjoy the carnival atmosphere.

Affordability

Fletcher’s Slip apartments and townhomes are a unique opportunity to hit your first rung on the property ladder.

The price of established homes in Adelaide’s west have skyrocketed over the last few years. The established homes in the area sit on large parcels of land making them near impossible for first home buyers to afford. A major advantage of Fletcher’s Slip apartments and townhomes is the affordability. They are a much more cost-effective choice that still offer everything you need without compromise.

The homes at Fletcher’s Slip also have the benefit of being brand new, so they require little to no maintenance and upkeep. The older established homes in the area typically need significant renovations or considerable ongoing costs to upkeep and maintain the home.

Fletcher’s Slip apartments and townhomes also offer you the chance to add your own personal touches with options including a choice of stunning interior colour schemes and an elegant palette of fixtures and finishes.
