Geelong Cats forward Jeremy Cameron and defender, Sam De Koning, put our Armidale 38 (previously the Washington 37) to the test. Quality finishes and affordable coastal living are just a few of the key stats that left their mark on the star players.

Making the move to Geelong

When you’re looking for affordable beach towns in Australia, it’s hard to go past the bustling city of Geelong and its coastal surrounds. It ticks all the right boxes – a laid-back lifestyle with city convenience, plenty of family-friendly amenities and world class beaches and national parks at your doorstep.

And unlike other coastal communities, Geelong still has an affordable entry price point, demonstrated by its appeal amongst first home buyers, young families and investors alike. We have a range of house and land packages to start exploring from just $542K* in high-demand suburbs like Armstrong Creek, Lara and Mount Duneed. Plus, with 9 Simonds display homes in Geelong alone, you have plenty of opportunities to test coastal living for yourself. Just like Jezza and SDK, start with our Armidale 38 (previously the Washington 37) on display in the Austin Estate, Lara or find your nearest display here.

3 reasons to visit our Armidale 37

1. The coastal-inspired Jetty facade

When you’re embracing the beach lifestyle, you want your home’s facade to match your relaxed mindset. And the Jetty facade from our Elevate range does just that. Not only does it set the tone for what’s to come once you’re through the front door, but it looks right at home amongst the beachy suburbs that stretch along the Surf Coast.

2. There's plenty of room to relax and entertain

You heard what Jezza said – 4 living rooms! Making the most of a laid-back lifestyle is about having the freedom to go with the flow. From big summer gatherings in the open plan family and alfresco, to creating a kids hangout space in the rumpus upstairs, the Armidale 38 gives you a world of game-changing options when it comes to socialising and enjoying quiet moments alone.

3. Reset and recharge with a dreamy master bedroom

Regional living often means you have more room to stretch out, and when it comes to our Armidale 38, the master suite is no exception. Along with a spacious ensuite and walk-in robe, you’ll elevate your everyday with a comfortable lounge retreat and vanity nook.
