First home? Auckland base? Lock-up-and-leave? Or maybe you just want to live somewhere with a bit of life around you.

Sitting up on the 9th floor with an awesome outlook and a $500,000+ price tag that makes getting into Ellerslie surprisingly achievable.

This is easy apartment living in a location that has a real vibe.

Morning coffee, after-work drinks, brunch, dinner, takeaway when cooking feels far too ambitious - there are so many great little places to eat and drink around here, with Ellerslie Village just moments away.

And when Sunday arrives and doing absolutely nothing sounds like the perfect plan?

Head up to the rooftop area, find yourself a spot and embrace it.

There's also a gym in the complex, so technically you can work out too. We'll leave that decision with you.

Back inside, you've got a modern one-bedroom apartment, open-plan living and that elevated 9th-floor position giving you a great outlook from your deck and a feeling of being nicely removed from the hustle below.

There's no carpark with this one, but that's not going to matter to everyone.

With trains, buses, Ellerslie Village and so much within easy reach, this could be perfect for someone who simply doesn't need a car. Why pay extra for a parking space you're never going to use?

THE GOOD STUFF Pet friendly 9th-floor position Awesome elevated outlook One-bedroom apartment Rooftop area for those lazy Sunday afternoons Gym within the complex Loads of great eats, coffee and drinks nearby Ellerslie Village and public transport within easy reach Lock-up-and-leave living $500,000+

My owners are realistic, motivated and ready to meet the market.

So if you thought owning in Ellerslie was out of reach, this might make you think again.
