Narrow Lot Living in Harrisdale Green

Making the decision on land to purchase to build your new home can be daunting.

How do you decide what block size is best? Do you need to sacrifice your outdoor entertainment area on a smaller lot? No, absolutely not!  

What is narrow lot living? 

Building on narrow lot living can be one of the most cost-effective, sustainable and convenient ways of living. Aspiring homeowners will face a range of benefits when making the decision to build on a narrow lot, specifically to their lifestyle and financial situation.  

A lot is considered narrow under the parameters of a smaller frontage (often 6-7.5m wide) with limited room to extend the width of the home. These lots, although smaller than the more traditional lots within Perth, are perfect for downsizers and first home buyers alike.   

So why should you choose to invest in a narrow lot?  

1. Live that luxury, inner city lifestyle for less  

Build your dream home, in your dream location without the large costs of living close to the city. When purchasing a narrow lot, you could be faced with lower land, construction and maintenance costs which means you will have more money to put towards other things around your new home, whether that is upgrading your courtyard, getting those new Smeg appliances or upgrading your bedroom suite.  

You will have more freedom to splurge within other areas of your home while still staying within your budget.  

2. Get ready to lock and leave   

The maintenance involved with blocks at Harrisdale Green is minimal. Townhouse living means you can pack up and leave at a moment's notice, with the peace of mind that your garden bed will not be lifeless and overgrown when you return.  

The Cedar Woods front landscaping package that comes with your home includes several native plants which are made to survive the harsh summers with minimal watering required.   

3. Custom, creative designs  

One of the more exciting things about building on a narrow lot is there are so many ways to be creative in your home designs. With an innovative two-storey design, you can double the square meterage of your home and allow for several clever storage solutions so that you do not have to compromise. A modest double-storey design also means a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor communal areas, creating an entertainer's dream home.  

We have partnered with Into Place to bring our customers a perfectly balanced home while taking full advantage of the blocks available. Find out more about our house and land packages here.
