In a low-traffic street, adjoining acres of parkland, on a block of some 1218m2 of its own, is this triumph of lifestyle and privacy. Renovated in recent years and with a charmingly pleasant feel, the home is a pleasure to inspect. With one of its original bedrooms converted to a huge walk-in-robe, this can easily be reconverted to a four-bedroom home at the expense of the seller.

The trump card for some will be the tennis court in its current form or alternate use as a site for a second dwelling, enormous shed or studio, or for parking numerous vehicles. Finding a renovated house in this price range with this much flat accessible land is generally a difficult task this close to civilisation.

The tennis court, pool and acres of adjoining flat parkland also combine to make this a paradise for active families. A hit of tennis, dip in the pool, then cricket or footy in the park so kids and pets can run themselves blissfully ragged.

With its wide streets, extreme low density and myriad parks, this original part of Helensvale is bloody fantastic and about a million times better than a new subdivision. Areas like this are a prized rarity because Council wants higher density (to curb urban sprawl) and developers like higher density (to make more profit), but the average person craves low density for their basic wellbeing. In other words, demand for sparse, slow-paced areas like this, which are no longer built, can only soar.

To boot, Helensvale has shopping malls, train and tram stations and abundant leisure options. For parents, this is a place where kids can roam happily on bikes, relieving you of the usual burden of parental taxiing. And for commuters, Helensvale is also handy to the freeway.
