A Place to Call Their Own
Dylan and Pamela's stories

For first-home buyers Pamela and Dylan, purchasing at Glenside isn’t just about stepping onto the property ladder, it’s about starting a new chapter in a neighbourhood that offers more.

For Pamela, after seven years of renting in Sydney, buying her first home at Glenside is a major milestone.

“I'm excited to finally own my own property, it’s been a long time coming,” she says. “I have an 8-year-old dog called Gaston, and having him along the journey was really important.”

She was drawn to Glenside’s location and sense of community.

“It’s so central - close to work, the beach, and the new Burnside Village. It’s a warm, supportive community. I think I’ll definitely make some connections here.”

Dylan shares that same excitement. For him, Glenside offered a real step forward.

“Everyone wants to own a home. My philosophy has always been get the hard bit done early,” he says. “Knowing I’m actually paying it off, it’s like, yep, I’m on the right track.”

He also values the lifestyle.

“The city is a $5 Uber ride away. There’s no excuse not to get out and enjoy it. It’s a friendly place that feels like both a home and a culture hub.”
