Downsizing on ‘the Pen’? Why you should never leave.

By Tihana Vlasich

Selling the big family home? Our local team shares why Te Atatū Peninsula is the perfect, “simple” place to downsize.

One of the biggest moves in life is deciding to downsize. The “hard work” of maintaining a big, empty family home… it’s a lot.

But “downsizing” doesn’t have to mean “downgrading” or leaving the “human” community you love. “Honestly,” Te Atatū Peninsula is the perfect place to downsize.

1. You stay in your “human” community

This is the number one reason. Why move away from your friends, your favourite “approachable” cafes, and your doctors? Here, you get to keep your “simple” life, just in a “simpler” home.

2. “Stylish,” “simple” living

“The Pen” has a fantastic mix of “approachable” properties. You can find “stylish” new-build townhouses, “simple” single-level units, or “energetic” new apartments in the village. It’s the “lock-up-and-leave” lifestyle, so you can spend less time on “hard work” and more time on the “lifestyle.”

3. It’s flat and “approachable”

This is an “honest,” simple, practical win. The “Pen” is flat. You can walk to the village, the library, the cafes, and the coastal walkway. It “takes the hard work out of” staying active and “energetic.”

Ready to find a simpler lifestyle? If you’re thinking about downsizing, give us a bell. We can give you an “honest” appraisal on your current home and show you how “simple” and “stylish” your next chapter can be, right here on “the Pen.”
