AFFORDABLE HOMES
EVERYDAY LIVING MADE EASIER WITH L&Q
In today’s housing market, location continues to top many first time buyers’ priority lists. Research from the Home Builders Federation has found that over half of first time buyers consider access to local amenities and a sense of community just as important as the home itself Placing an emphasis on location, L&Q has homes available within growing communities with plenty of amenities on the doorstep, helping customers tick more boxes on the wish list. With a variety of homes, spanning across the capital to the heart of Manchester’s regeneration zones, we explore how three flagship developments – Prime Point, L&Q at Bankside Gardens and L&Q at Victoria Riverside – are redefining the first time buyer experience. PRIME POINT, GREENWICH PENINSULA Located in one of south east London’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods, Prime Point offers more than stylish studio to three bedroom homes. Set within the dynamic Greenwich Peninsula, the development has been designed to help residents connect with each other and with their surroundings. Green space is a key focus at this city development, with a communal podium garden and children’s play area offering room to unwind and enjoy the fresh air. Also close by is Central Park and the Peninsula’s linear park – London’s first ever elevated riverside park. Currently approximately 1km in length, once complete, the linear walkway will be 5km long. With plans for a cafe in the commercial unit, residents will soon have their own go-to coffee spot right on site. First time buyers will be able to take advantage of amenities nearby too, including iconic arena The O2, and its host of sell-out concerts, outlet shopping, bars and restaurants. Meanwhile, art fans can discover installations from artists all over the Peninsula, and free exhibitions in the independent NOW Gallery.
