Lake Residences, a residential precinct in Stockland’s Newport community, has just one of its 15 luxury lakeside townhomes remaining to purchase on the exclusive stretch of Newport Lake.

Lake Residences is the most premium waterfront townhome release in Newport, featuring luxurious four and five-bedroom homes that have proven popular with both downsizers and upgraders.

Upon completion, Newport will have approximately 2,200 homes, including over 500 townhomes and apartments, 1,570 land lots, and a 125-apartment retirement living village. Just a short walk away is a vibrant waterside retail precinct, home to a cosy coffee house, a gourmet grocer with local produce, waterfront dining, an IGA, and medical, health and beauty services.

Stockland Development Director, Matt Patullo said Stockland Newport is attracting a diverse range of buyers, with lakeside townhomes presenting a unique opportunity for the pre-retiree market.

“Since the launch of Lake Residences in October last year, 70 per cent of sales have been to those downsizing and looking towards retirement. These buyers are in their ‘pre-retirement’ years – families that are still working and are perhaps empty-nesters. They are after low-maintenance and contemporary and sophisticated living, right on the water’s edge,” said Mr Patullo.

“It’s not just downsizers as we’re also seeing upgraders – families and couples looking to enjoy more space in a larger luxury home, with a sea change lifestyle. These buyers are seizing the chance to swap life in the suburbs to live close to the water in a newly built, quality-finished townhome.”

Bridget McDonald is a downsizer who recently moved to Lake Residences and had previously been living in a large family home in the city for the past 10 years. Ms McDonald says that purchasing her luxury four-bedroom waterside townhome has fulfilled her dream to live a life by the water.

“After living a city lifestyle in a sprawling home for so long, we wanted a smaller – but more luxury – home in a community that offered more. Having come from a home with a sizeable garden and pool with lots of maintenance, we were ready for a change. As well, my husband and I both work from home, so we started to look towards opportunities to connect with our neighbourhood and have a simpler way to ‘get up and go’ when the travel bug struck,” says Ms McDonald.

“We really feel the difference here in Newport and enjoy the self-contained aspect. Our local store used to be the Chermside shopping centre, and here in Newport we experience a more personalised village feel, one that we can also walk to and leave the car behind.

“We sought low maintenance, easy indoor-outdoor living, urban-chic styling and a community setting. Lake Residences offered all this, plus activities like sailing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding with direct high-mast access to Moreton Bay and Moreton Islands.

“Newport Lake was a major drawcard, allowing us to enjoy lakefront views from our deck after a day at work – a lifestyle change we were ready for. It’s not a retirement plan, it’s a way of life that we’re embracing,” says Ms McDonald.

Ms McDonald adds that features like 2.7-metre-high ceilings, a large designer kitchen with integrated appliances, ducted air conditioning and solar power enhance the appeal of these premium homes.

The display home at 137 Aqua Street is open for viewing on Saturdays from 11:00am-12:00pm. For more information and to register your interest, you can visit the Sales Office on the corner of Griffith Road and Boardman Road, open 10.00-5.00pm daily or visit the website.

Stockland Newport has been recognised as Australia’s Best Masterplanned Development at the 2024 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) National Awards. It is located on the Redcliffe Peninsula, around 38 kilometres north of Brisbane, 30 kilometres from Brisbane Airport, 40 kilometres from the Sunshine Coast and a short drive from the Peninsula’s popular local beaches. Residents have easy access to schools, shops, transport links, and waterfront parks, making it a convenient and relaxing community for families and downsizers.
