From Five Bedrooms to a Simpler Life at The Lanes
For Gemma and Leo, choosing The Lanes was about embracing a simpler way of living while staying connected to everything that matters. After years in a five-bedroom home in Rochedale, the couple decided it was time for a home that better suited their family’s next chapter. “I’d like to have a simpler life because maintaining a big five-bedroom house is too much for me,” Gemma said. “We just have two children, and the kids are older now.”
Deciding to downsize was not an easy decision, with factors such as location, proximity to schooling and work hubs and convenience all playing a factor. Ultimately, The Lanes’ prime location – being moments from the Montague Markets, West End markets, employment hubs and premium school catchments – helped to seal the deal.

“We liked the display homes here and also the facilities,” Gemma added. “Everything just worked out. Not to mention the convenience of Woolworths at Montague Markets downstairs.” While the family was looking for a home that would simplify day-to-day living, they didn’t want to compromise on lifestyle. The Lanes’ resort-style amenities, premium finishes and unbeatable convenience made the decision an easy one. The buying journey with Pradella and the Position Property team was equally straightforward, with Gemma and Leo crediting Alice, their sales agent, for a smooth buying process. “It’s been wonderful,” Gemma said. “The first time we saw Alice, the very first day, we came into the sales suite and decided to buy on the spot.”
The couple have purchased a stunning three-bedroom apartment in Cascade Residences, providing the perfect balance of low-maintenance living while still giving their family the space they need. For Gemma and Leo, The Lanes represents more than a move from a larger home. It offers the opportunity to spend less time maintaining a house and more time enjoying everything West End has to offer.
