Lot 444 Waterfern St, Frasers Rise

Taylors Run is designed for families to flourish. Kids ride their bikes in the wide streets, beautifully landscaped and lined with trees that burst with colour. Say ‘hello’ as you wander to the wetlands that lie a short walk from every home. Plant seedlings in your front garden, encourage your kids to set up snail races or perhaps just watch toddlers totter across the lawn. A range of lot sizes and aspects provides real choice for new homes in a fast-growing region. And pockets of townhouses overlook parklands, so that everyone can enjoy time outdoors. A local bus runs through the estate, making life easy, but carpooling makes sense too when schools, shops and cafés are all close to home.

Almost 10 hectares of beautiful wetlands, brimming with native birdlife, stretch across Taylors Run. These are wonderful places for children to stomp, splash and clamber over creeks and pathways. To spot birds, beetles and butterflies. To watch the seasons change, and to play with friends.

There are 10 zoned schools within easy reach of Taylors Run. It’s just a few minutes bike ride to Hillside Primary and Springside Primary Schools, and Springside West Secondary College is 1km away. There is additional private education available and for those not quite ready for big school, several day care centres.

A quick weekly shop or a slow browse-y shop can be enjoyed five minutes from Taylors Run. CS Square recently underwent a $45m upgrade and is home to 75 retailers, big and small. Grab a snack from one of the cafés and eateries lining Caroline Springs Boulevard and head down to the lake. A 2km loop will burn excess energy before the short drive home. There are plans for the Kororoit Creek trail to link up to Caroline Springs, with an off-road cycling path to Sunshine and into the CBD. For a faster trip, it’s just 30 minutes by train to Southern Cross.
