When the sun shines the demand for riverside properties for sale in Norfolk goes up.
The perception of retirees always seeking out the riverside properties isn't accurate anymore, because now it seems that young people are the ones who want to live by a river.
What has happened to make riverside properties so attractive to the younger generation? abbotFox has a few answers.
Great views
Having a morning coffee on your balcony while watching the swans paddle up and down on the River Wensum is a great way to start the day. Norwich riverside property owners will regularly see, ducks, swans and even storks as well as a variety of boats, canoes and paddles. Riverside property owners living outside the city centre may also get to see many other types of birds and wildlife as well as a whole array of boats including yachts.
Stunning apartments
Beautiful old buildings have been transformed into trendy apartments, and new apartment blocks have popped up in places along the Norwich waterside.
Overlooking the River Wensum there's a good mixture of modern built apartments as well as luxury apartments within historic buildings such as The Paper Mill which was once owned by Coleman’s Mustard. It’s not just “living by a river” anymore, it’s now “desirable riverside dwellings”, and that’s what young people want.
Relaxing
You can’t deny it, the sound of water has a very calming effect, and the moon at night shining upon a river is very enchanting. After a long day at work, there’s nothing better than watching the world swim by from your riverside balcony.
Lifestyle
Young people buy into a lifestyle; it’s not just a riverside apartment for them, it’s a whole community. Riverside properties in Norwich are close to some fantastic restaurants, bars and coffee shops. There are regular running, cycling and walking groups along the river, fitness classes and gyms.
Commute
Because of the rise of remote and hybrid working, young professionals can spend a lot of time working from home and there’s no better place to do that than sitting by a river. For the ones that do have to visit the office then believe it or not some beat the traffic by getting on a boat! Some people love the convenience of having their own boat moored up to use for popping up and down the river; there’s no better way to travel!
Norwich riverside property with mooring is extremely desirable. For other people having a Norwich riverside property, means easy access to many places either by foot, bike, skateboard, bus or car.
