MEET THE LOCALS: MARY GARLICK

Q: Why have you and your husband chosen Merrifield as your new home?

A: We wanted a good sized block, and my husband had his heart set on a double-storey house. We had been looking for a few years, but when we saw Merrifield we knew immediately that this would become our home. We can’t wait to see what else our life here has to bring – we are going to stay here forever. We love it; it’s our forever home.

Q: How has life been as one of the first residents in Merrifield?

A: We can’t believe how quickly the estate has grown in a very short time. The park is terrific. My son loves it! It’s so child-friendly. My husband even loves going down the slide with him and he’s 35 years old! It’s the best park in the area. We go for walks around here and meet our neighbours – we feel very lucky to live here.

Q: What excites you most about living in Merrifield?

A: Firstly, the fact that I’d never owned land in my entire life, but now I do with my husband, which is very special. We worked hard for it together, and it felt so right when we both signed our names on the contract. We love that Merrifield is new and still growing. We love taking pictures of how it is now; when our son grows up, he’ll know what we did for him and where this all started. We’ve also been blessed with cool neighbours who we know will look out for us, and we’ll look out for them. It feels like we’ve started something new. You’ve helped us to create a community of our own.
