Why I chose Oak Grove: A chat with soon-to-be resident Ben

02 May 2025

When Oak Grove’s spacious park-front lots became available to homebuyers, the vast lot sizes and proximity to green space caught the attention of Ben, a local homeowner in Clyde North. Ben decided to purchase his family’s next home at Oak Grove to take advantage of the superior lifestyle amenities and neighbouring schools. 

Ben explains, “Being close to greenery and nature is important for our energetic family of four. Our two little kids just love being outdoors, so the range of parklands at Oak Grove was a huge drawcard.”   

Ben had been planning to purchase the family’s next home adjacent to a park, with a spacious backyard for some time. As Ben and his wife, Jemma, prepare to send their children to the expanding Rivercrest Primary & Secondary School that neighbours Oak Grove, the short walk from home gives the couple peace of mind.  

The easy access to Rivercrest means “our family avoids the dreaded daily school commute, and our kids don’t have to contend with crossing main roads”, says Ben. Instead, they’ll be starting the day with a stroll through Oak Grove’s many natural pedestrian pathways.  

Ben and Jemma also wanted to nurture their children’s love for spending time in nature, and the park-facing lots and amenities will provide their family with more space to explore, whilst reaping the benefits of living in a newer development.   

“Our huge 512 square metre lot and 16 metre frontage is a dream come true,” says Ben, who has been convincing his extended family and friends to also consider Oak Grove as the place to put down roots.  

“We have recommended Oak Grove to two of our family friends who have also purchased within the estate, so we know we’ll be coming into a close-knit community when we move in.” 

In recommending Oak Grove, Ben emphasises that his experience with the sales team has been overwhelmingly positive.  

“Sokha at the Oak Grove display suite has been seriously brilliant,” he says.  

“She had a lot of patience as we worked through all our options, and really worked tirelessly to help us secure the perfect park-facing lot for our family.”   

“We really feel like we’ve found the perfect place for our family to flourish well into the future.”
