Somerfield Celebrates the Year of the Monkey

Somerfield Celebrates the Year of the Monkey

Despite fierce competition for Lunar New Year events in the region, Somerfield residents – young and old – turned out in the hundreds to celebrate the Year of the Monkey with their neighbours and to watch a magical lion dance and firecracker display in the estate.

“It’s important for us to celebrate all the cultures within our diverse community at Somerfield,” says Maxwell Shifman, Chief Operating Officer for Intrapac Property, the company behind the popular estate. “So, we are pleased to see the event growing in numbers. This was the third year Lunar New Year was celebrated at Somerfield and it was our best turn-out yet.”

One of the youngest at the event was three-month-old Riley Soo, dressed up in traditional Chinese New Year costume alongside his brothers Hayden (5) and Tyler (3). Their grandparents Dennis and Soo Ngeeann wore matching Chinese slogan t-shirts translated as “Everything is Successful”. They brought gifts for their grandchildren, including almond tarts and love letter biscuits, a nod to Valentine’s Day also being celebrated on the day.

One of the first couples to buy a home in Somerfield, Patrick and Noëlla Gueit, said they go to as many events as they can in Somerfield: “It’s so good to be able to connect with people who live nearby, because the world is so impersonal these days. Many people don’t even know people down their own street, so it’s a great opportunity for us to make new friends.”

Hien-Ly Phom met her teenage neighbours Isabelle and Skye at a similar Somerfield event and now they walk together to attend all the events with Hien-Ly and her three-year-old daughter Delta.

“It’s amazing, you forget there’s so many people in your neighbourhood,” says Isabelle. “It’s nice to connect with them.”

Lucky oranges symbolising wealth were thrown out to the crowds, as well as free fortune cookies for the kids. Firecrackers were also set off to ward off evil spirits and the colourful lions were a hit with the crowds, scrambling for photos with them after the show.

Somerfield is now over 90% sold, but new packages of land are soon to be released onto the market, as well as new 2 & 3 bedroom apartments starting at $395,000.

Somerfield Townhomes Releases 2 & 3 Bedroom Apartments

If you’re looking for a relaxed lifestyle at the heart of everything, Somerfield estate in Keysborough is now offering its luxurious architect-designed townhomes in spacious 2 and 3 bedroom apartments starting at $395,000, as well as the popular 3 or 4 bedroom townhomes.

All Somerfield Townhomes come complete with luxury inclusions, such as 6+ star energy efficiency; high-quality materials, including stone bench tops, open plan living areas, abundant natural light and alfresco areas and balconies for relaxed outdoor living and entertaining.

“Watching Somerfield blossom from empty lots into a thriving community and prestigious neighbourhood has been very rewarding,” says Max Shifman, Chief Operating Officer for Intrapac Property, the company behind the award-winning project.

“With the new apartments now we can offer investors and homebuyers new opportunities to own a part of Somerfield,” says Max. “With affordable prices, more people can now buy into a great lifestyle that includes quality landscaping, modern urban design and plenty of open spaces located right in the heart of everything.”

Residents of Somerfield have access to great shopping at Chadstone, or Southland, a walk along Mordialloc beach (around eight minutes’ drive away) or a game of golf at one of the ten courses located within five minutes’ drive away.

The lock up and leave lifestyle will appeal to people wanting a low maintenance home life, so they can travel or enjoy all that’s on offer in the local area – including all the events of Melbourne CBD, less than 30 mins away, or a quick drive to the heart of the wineries, beaches and shops along the Mornington Peninsula.

 For those who would rather stay home, Somerfield Townhomes are set amidst beautiful surroundings, which include award-winning landscape designs, boardwalks along the wetlands and secluded tree-lined streets. Each home is within 400m of parkland or wetland and each home has access to high-speed Internet broadband.

Max Shifman believes the great Australian dream of home ownership should include a sense of belonging: “The community at Somerfield enjoys regular social activities where neighbours can meet and mingle. It’s reassuring for residents to know they live in a neighbourhood where people watch out for each other.”

Situated within the Somerfield estate in Keysborough, this new release of 2 and 3 bedroom apartments are nestled among established suburbs with all essential amenities close by, including top primary and secondary schools, such as Haileybury College. Monash University also has two campuses less than 15 minutes’ drive away. Healthcare facilities and hospitals can also be accessed within minutes.

“With all the surrounding area offers, as well as the quality design elements that set Somerfield apart, Somerfield Townhomes offer a distinguished home without the high maintenance,” says Max.
