Here are our top 10 display homes in Brisbane to give you a better idea of where to go when searching for a home design.

Newport Stockland Display Village

Rani Street, Cardinal Crescent and Smith Lane
Newport QLD 4209
Mon-Sun 10am-5pm

Newport Stockland display village features 26 homes from 16 builders. Focused primarily on double-storey homes from some of the biggest builders in the state. This display village may not be the best one to visit if you’re in the market for single storey homes.

Of the double storey homes on display here, most have floorplans between 300m² and 400m². But there’s not a lot suited to narrower blocks. The same applies to the low set designs on display here too. If you building on a 13m+ wide block its village is worth a look if not there are better options.

Most of the builders here are well-established volume builders such as McCarthy and Metricon but you will find a hand full of newer, smaller builders amongst them such as; Fresh Homes and Homes by CMA.

The More Convenient Option (Virtual Tours)

Brisbane display homes are pretty spread out and often there’s no single village that offers all you want to see. That’s where virtual tours come in. Becoming increasingly popular nearly all builders off virtual tours of their designs. Quite often you’ll find that some builders have more designs available as a virtual tour than they have display homes.

BUILDERS WITH 3D VIRTUAL TOURS

The Virtual Tour Advantage

To give you an example of just how much more you can see with virtual tours. Bold Living have 10 display homes between the sunshine coast and the gold coast. In comparison, they have 32 virtual tours on their website. Even more impressive is the 143 virtual tours that GJ Gardner have online in comparison to their 10 display homes within the Brisbane area.

What virtual tours also offer is far more diversity in designs. This means you can check out designs closer to the specifications of your block and more in line with what you and your family need.

With most display villages offering at most 3 designs per builder the chances, you’ll find a village that has more than 1 design relevant to you from a builder you’re interested in are pretty slim. Inconsistent opening times are also synonymous with display villages as different builders often have different opening times at the same village.

If you’re not one to waste time we recommend you familiarise yourself with how to effectively use virtual tours with our video below.
