A luxury apartment high above Newcastle is attracting everyone from first-home buyers to retirees, proving apartment living is no longer simply a downsizing option.

Positioned on the 20th floor of ONE Apartments, Apartment 2003 on National Park Street offers sweeping views across Newcastle Harbour.

Valley Estate Agents’ sales agent Alana Barker said the residence was appealing to a surprisingly broad range of buyers.

“We’ve had a variety,” she explained.

“It’s been anything from people looking at securing their first residence to people downsizing off a 100-acre farm.

“We’ve had a very broad influx of people from their early 30s to people in their 70s.”

Floor-to-ceiling glass captures sweeping views of the city skyline, while the open-plan living area extends onto a spacious wraparound balcony.

For Ms Barker, the appeal is less about changing the way residents live and more about enhancing everyday moments.

“It just makes your mornings and your evenings more scenic because you’re up on that unobstructed view,” she said.

Throughout the apartment, contemporary finishes, generous living spaces and premium inclusions create a sense of understated luxury.

However, it is the building’s extensive shared facilities that continue to impress prospective buyers.

Residents have access to a private cinema, heated swimming pool, gymnasium, spa, sauna, rooftop entertaining spaces, gardens and communal gathering areas.

“We feel it’s a superior choice simply from the fact of the age of it and the lifestyle of all the inclusions that it comes with,” Ms Barker said.

“It’s like living in a five-star resort.”

She believes the growing popularity of indulgent apartment living reflects changing lifestyles and a shift in buyer priorities.

“People are choosing this lifestyle,” she said.

“It used to be apartments were seen as a downsize and now apartments aren’t a downsize.

“They are an absolute choice.”

Ms Barker said many residents appreciated having access to premium facilities without the cost and upkeep associated with maintaining them privately.

Located moments from Honeysuckle, Marketown, cafes, restaurants and transport links, Apartment 2003 offers elevated convenience.
