Our first resident of North Wright shares her thoughts and journey.
North Wright’s first resident – Sara Hanley happily shared her thoughts describing her journey with us in buying a home at North Wright Sustainable Precinct. Read below -
What’s the community like around North Wright?
“Quiet, conscious and family-oriented.”
From the outset, Sara felt a strong sense of belonging. The precinct’s atmosphere is one of mutual respect and shared values that is perfect for families and individuals seeking a peaceful, inclusive environment.
What sustainability features stood out to you?
“Solar panels, double-glazing, heat recovery and ventilation systems, ceiling fans, and sustainable landscaping.”
While the home’s construction using recycled materials was impressive, it was the practical features that added the impact. These elements not only reduce environmental impact but also enhance comfort and energy efficiency.
What made your floorplan stand out?
“The office space, kitchen bench, storage cupboard, third bedroom, and the ability to separate the bedrooms from the living area.”
The home’s layout was a major drawcard, offering flexibility, privacy, and functionality. Add to those three distinct outdoor areas, and it’s easy to see why this home felt like the right fit.
What did you love about the architecture?
“Single-level, separately titled, built-in shelves, a mudroom, private courtyard, and a very high energy rating.”
Sara also appreciated the thoughtful details such as separate toilet and bath to the built-in shelving throughout. The home’s unique look and feel, combined with its energy efficiency, made it a standout in the Canberra market.
What do you enjoy nearby?
“Stromlo Leisure Centre, Cotter nature trails with my dogs, and playgrounds with my toddler.”
With green spaces like Mt Stromlo just minutes away and a quick 15-minute commute to the city, North Wright offers the perfect balance of nature and convenience.
What was it like buying through the Suburban Land Agency?
“It was a great experience. The SLA team was friendly, approachable, and incredibly supportive.”
She praised SLA’s team for their patience and willingness to help.
How would you describe the precinct in three words?
“Sustainable. Innovative. Thoughtful.”
This testimonial reflects the heart of North Wright - a place where sustainability meets smart design, and where community and lifestyle come together.
