Display homes in Melbourne's north

What are the differences between a display village and a display home

A display home is a meticulously designed house that is built to showcase a particular floorplan design. It is typically furnished and decorated to offer a true-to-life experience of what it may be like to live there. On the other hand, a display village, like those located throughout North Melbourne, such as Peppercorn Hill or Cloverton Estate, feature numerous display home designs crafted by various builders and exhibited in one location and estate. This array presents a wide selection of home sizes and styles, empowering customers to easily compare their home and builder options.
