New family chooses apartment living

Stylish contemporary living in the centre of a bustling thriving city – that’s what attracted Jamie Maddison to rent an apartment at a Miller Homes East Midlands development a year ago.

It was those same qualities that helped Jamie opt to buy an apartment in the same Derby development when he decided to get himself and his partner, Shelly Clarke, on the property ladder.

And to prove that apartment living is not just for the young person about town, Jamie and Shelly have just welcomed their first child and so have made their Centro West apartment into a family home.

Jamie (32), who is a manager at Burton Menswear in the city, originally chose the award-winning Centro West development because of its convenient location to work, and its proximity to major high street names and independent shops, restaurants and other facilities.

Jamie said: “We loved living at Centro West because of the location and the Miller Homes quality finish. So, when we knew that a baby would be on the way, we didn’t have to go far – in fact one floor down.

“We didn’t realise initially that our first home would be so affordable, but Miller Homes helped us to make it easy - I would recommend it to anyone.”

Joy Goodman, sales director at Miller Homes East Midlands, commented: “Jamie’s new apartment is a Type N two-bedroom apartment, of which there is only remaining for sale at Centro West.

“Priced at £159,950 and positioned on the top floor with stunning views of the city, we hope we’ve provided an affordable yet stylish place for city centre living.”
