Stockland has welcomed its first residents to Forest Reach, a masterplanned community located in Huntley, 18 kilometres from Wollongong's CBD in New South Wales' Illawarra region.

Following the sell-out of lots in the Casscade Crossing precinct earlier this year, a new release of 10 premium lots in the Crest View precinct is set to be available in October.

The Crest View precinct sits at the highest point in the community, providing elevated lots with impressive views of the Illawarra escarpment and surrounding district.

The precinct caters to first homebuyers, families, and those looking to upgrade, with lot sizes ranging from 300 square metres to 957 square metres. The release in October will include lots from 400 square metres to 806 square metres.

Once complete, Forest Reach will provide more than 650 high quality homes, and will feature three distinct neighbourhoods, two proposed parks, and a 4.7-hectare riparian open space. Residents will be close to transport, schools, parks, and shops.

Zac and Elizabeth are some of the first residents to move into their new home in the Forest Reach community.

“With our growing family, we decided to upsize and give our children more space to play and grow. Forest Reach gives our kids the opportunity to have a garden where they can play outside and kick the ball around, which is something I always dreamed of as a kid,” Elizabeth said.

“We have always wanted to be a part of a community and we are so excited to start a new chapter with our family at Forest Reach.”

Stockland Project Director, Mike Milligan, said Forest Reach will help to meet the demand for housing in the growing Illawarra region and cater to a diverse range of homebuyers.

“Community creation is at the heart of Stockland’s legacy and purpose, and for more than 70 years we have helped more Australians achieve the dream of home ownership,” Mr Milligan said.

“Residents at Forest Reach have convenient access to local train stations, schools, hospitals, as well as Stockland Shellharbour – our major shopping centre – making it an ideal choice for first homebuyers, young families, and those looking to upgrade or downsize.

“It’s great to start welcoming some of the first residents to Forest Reach and we look forward to seeing them settle in as we progress our plans for the community,” Mr Milligan added.
