Around the Essendon residences, The Watson by Kincrest
The inner-city suburb of Essendon has long been known for its leafy green landscape, dotted with parks, playgrounds and reserves. Home to AFL’s Essendon Bombers, recreational pursuits are aplenty amongst the verdant locale, while the architectural homes lining the streets date back to the early 1900’s, lending the community its heritage charm.
Property developers, Kincrest have tapped into the suburb’s character for their latest residential development, The Watson, with the 37-apartment project situated in the heart.
Day to day essentials are just steps from the 1 Thorn Street site, with boutique clothing stores, hair salons and even a monthly farmer’s market on hand too.
It’s only a minutes walk to the North Essendon neighbourhood precinct, from The Watson, which is home to over 200 shops, including cafes, restaurants, gyms, banks, an Australian Post and a range of retail outlets.
Capturing the rural heritage of the area, Essendon and its surrounding suburbs are brimming with parks and reserves, with Lincoln Park and Allison Park both just a one-minute from The Watson.
Connections to the city are a breeze, with Tram 59 only one minute from the site, while the Glenbervie Train Station and Essendon Train Station are only a 10-minute walk away.
Families can settle into the suburb as well, with half a dozen primary and secondary schools scattered around, including St Vincent de Paul Primary School and Strathmore Secondary College.
One, two and three-bedroom apartments can still be purchased in The Watson, with floorplans spanning from 76 sqm to 294 sqm.
