Suave and sophisticated, with tomorrow in mind, Urban Ridge borrows the apartment concept of a community sanctuary - and simply removes the expense. It's a carefree lifestyle on nature's doorstep in one of Tauranga's most convenient places. Nestling blissfully between Bethlehem and Brookfield - seven minutes to Tauranga's CBD; less to Bethlehem's centre - it's a mere stroll to the waterway nature trails through 60 hectares in Gordon Carmichael Reserve. Young at heart with debonair styling, this home revolves around sun, warmth and outdoor corners. Two's company thanks to smart design that enhances space with raked ceilings, open flow and trend-setting finish. Kitchen glamour is an integral aspect - cleverly dividing the lounge and dining into separate places. Maximising solar warmth and outdoor life, garden courtyards spill from the lounge in front and dining at the rear. It expands rooms, follows the sun and infuses special allure to these alfresco nooks. The ensuite master shares this outdoor charm; while a second bathroom gives luxury for the guest bedroom. Like-minded thinking has drawn a friendly neighbourhood where people cherish privacy, while enjoying the balance of a caring community. With one road in and out - this appeal matches Urban Ridge's point of difference and safe lifestyle. Look around, though and you'll soon discover there's more here than meets the eye. Ridge Plaza brings you a cafe, superette, hairdresser and Pilates nearby. With Carmichael Reserve on your doorstep, no two days are the same. Cycle or walk the myriad of trails amid ponds and nature. It's a wonderland filled with prolific birdlife - a playground of learning and love. This is a position to envy - Brookfield's supermarket and village up the hill; plus Bethlehem's boutique centre a short hop past the reserve. Schools, big business, cafes and culture, hospital - it's all here; for singles to retirees. Built in 2013, with the balance of a Master Builders Guarantee and no body corp fees - life here offers that cherished sense of safety and belonging. You can downsize without sacrifice or move up with desire. Either way, life will never be the same again. Urban Ridge - where neighbours become friends.
