Case study: Harrison: A place for kids to play

When Kosta and Amanda Contis built their Harrison house nearly 10 years ago, they were among the first, with only display homes nearby and just a sprinkling of other new builds.

“There was a vibe that this was going to be a good place to be. Somewhere new, somewhere a lot of money was going to be invested,” Kosta says.

“We’ve watched Harrison grow and it’s turned out better than we ever imagined.”

The couple built a five bedroom, two-storey house with pool that has been home to them and their four children.

Kosta says the suburb – just two kilometres from the Gunghalin town centre – is very family-friendly.

“There are plenty of schools, reserves and sportsgrounds for the kids,” he says. “It’s a short walk and they’re kicking the football around.”

Harrison is also accessible with the city just 10 kilometres away, a direct route to Fyshwick and light rail coming soon.
