What started as a simple attempt to bring clarity to their home-hunting journey, turned into a creative and pragmatic solution for Amy and Doug. “Don’t laugh at us, but after inspecting a few homes, we realised the process was overwhelming,” Amy shared. “So we went to Kmart, bought a whiteboard, and started rating the properties we inspected.”
This spark of creativity helped them define their personalised checklist. “After each inspection, we added our opinions and ratings to the whiteboard,” Doug explained. Remarkably, this old school approach helped us destress and know exactly what we both wanted. This format led them to their dream home in a community they absolutely love.
After months of searching for the perfect place to call home, Amy and Doug have finally secured their dream property at Parqway in Albany Creek. The couple, along with their two dogs, had explored several suburbs, including McDowall and Bridgeman Downs, but it was the value and lifestyle offered at Parqway that won them over.
“We’d been looking at townhomes in McDowall and Bridgeman Downs, but they just didn’t have everything we wanted,” Amy said. “The prices were higher, and either the finishes weren’t up to our standards or the outdoor space was too small. But then Doug found Parqway in Albany Creek, and it just ticked all the boxes. The garden is big enough for our dogs, we’ve got a double garage, and it’s everything we were looking for.”
“When we came across Parqway, we realised it ticked all the boxes. A double garage, a garden that was big enough, and even the small details we both valued.”
Now, having settled into their new home, Amy and Doug couldn’t be happier. “Every week, we’re still pinching ourselves. It’s everything we wanted,” says Amy. “Our townhome feels private, its more like a detached house, with private entry and light breezes flowing through the property, and privacy from our neighbours thanks to the thoughtful semi-detached design.” We’ve been enjoying the community pool as if it were our own.
One of the biggest draws for this couple was also the tranquil bushland surrounding them, perfect for taking the dogs on extended walks.
For Amy and Doug, Parqway represents more than just a place to live—it’s a lifestyle. “We’ve already found our new coffee shop, our local Coles, and even a great restaurant nearby,” Amy shares. “We’re settling in and can’t wait to see the Parqway community grow around us.”
Parqway has provided the perfect balance between practicality and lifestyle, offering a home that meets their needs today while promising an active and connected community for the future.
