Townhouses in Toowoomba

Realtors, and anybody who is in the market to downsize in Lake Oswego know that very nice condos are a hot commodity, and I imagine one- or two-story units are best, maybe with a small courtyard to replace the yard that was too big to take care of.  There are places like that here in town, Condolea in Mt. Park, is one I can think of.

What if they built 'em like they used to, so you felt like you were living in a home and not a box?

This development in Toowoomba, Australia looks so nice I would give up my house and big yard to live there (if there was a private outdoor space!).

Sydney developer to bring 43 townhouses to city

Sydney-based developers Thirdi Property plan to build 43 townhouses across three master-planned communities in Newtown and Wilsonton.

 A NEW developer is moving into Toowoomba with plans to build 43 townhouses across three locations in Newtown and Wilsonton.

Sydney-based Thirdi Property has draped banners across temporary fences beside the former Orfords Refrigeration complex in Newtown spruiking the new "Clifton Apartments".

Its website claims the complexes will boast "some of the best two and three-bedroom townhouses available in Toowoomba".

The company plans to spend $14 million building the 43 townhouses and "master-planned communities" - eight units on Blake St in Wilsonton, nine on Anzac Ave and 26 on Vacy St in Newtown.

It has already made a call for expressions of interest for potential buyers to get on board early.

The project will provide a shot in the arm to the city's lagging small-lot housing development and council's aim to have 500 new units built across the Toowoomba region each year.

Thirdi's website states The Clifton On Blake will be delivered by August this year, with the Anzac Ave to follow in October and Vacy St to be finished by November.

Arden Vale homes has been contracted for the building work.
