Regardless of whether you have children, are planning to have children or are seeking a strong return on your investment, living within a school zone can offer a myriad of benefits to any homeowner.
Living close to a school means students can walk or ride to school while enjoying the fresh air and simultaneously, being kinder to the environment. Easy school access also means less pressure on parents to factor in the school run on a busy morning!
School zones and wider catchment areas are often monitored more closely by government officials and members of the community, making it a safer neighbourhood for all. You’re also less likely to encounter speeding cars in the area if you’re surrounded by nearby school crossings.
Those who choose to rent out their apartment can also reap the rewards. Typically, renters will stay at a property longer if they have children attending a nearby school, meaning longer tenancies and less risk of vacancy. Due to this proximity, owners are also able to charge higher rents for the privilege of living close to a desirable school.
