What homes here are like
Craighall Park runs alongside Parkhurst and Parkview with a similar leafy, established feel, but tends toward larger stands and family-scaled renovations — double-storey extensions, pools, and gardens built for kids as much as entertaining. Many original homes here have been extended rather than replaced, so you'll find a mix of period window openings at the front and new open-plan glass at the back.
What suits these homes
With more garden and pool area than the Parkhurst café strip, folding-arm awnings earn their keep over bigger patios and pool decks. Family bedrooms and playrooms lean on blockout rollers for nap-time darkness, and with kids and pets around, motorised or wand-tilt operation is worth asking about specifically for child-safe control.
Local note: a family home with a pool means more time outdoors in summer — if the pool deck or patio faces west, ask about pairing a sunscreen roller indoors with a wind-sensor awning outside, so both sides of the glass are covered.
