The stadium at Macquarie Point has its tick of approval.<\/p>\n
And the Tasmanian Devils will play in the VFL next season ahead of entering the AFL. <\/p>\n
But where will its players choose to live?<\/p>\n
A young gun rookie might prefer being as close to the city and waterfront as possible, with its dining and entertainment options.<\/p>\n
A more seasoned player could opt for a high-end home, something prestigious in areas like Battery Point or Sandy Bay.<\/p>\n
Peace, quiet, and oodles of space? A player and their family who prioritises these things might want an acreage at Acton Park.<\/p>\n
If convenience is king, would a home in a suburb like Cambridge \u2014 near the airport \u2014 be the best option? Or perhaps at Kingston where the Tasmania Devils Football Club High Performance Centre will be built?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look at what\u2019s on the market today, and where our team might like to base themselves.<\/p>\n

Picture: Peter Mathew Photography<\/p>\n Otago Edge. Picture: Peter Mathew Photography<\/p>\n In Bellerive, No.1 Victoria Esp <\/a>was inspired by the historic homes that surround it on Bellerive Bluff.

No problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n No.2\/724 Sandy Bay Rd, Sandy Bay.<\/p>\n No.2\/724 Sandy Bay Rd, Sandy Bay.<\/p>\n How about $2.95m-plus, but a larger, sprawling home in an elevated location is preferred?

Just move right in.<\/a><\/p>\n No.30 Marlborough St, Sandy Bay.<\/p>\n No.33 Duke St, Sandy Bay.<\/p>\n LIFESTYLE<\/p>\n For those who want a classic five acres, room for a horse and some sheep, Acton Park could be the property move to make.<\/p>\n Depending on which end of the suburb one lives in, you can be at Hobart Airport in as little as six minutes. Or in Hobart within half an hour.<\/p>\n There are just three homes <\/a>available to buy here today, and another in neighbouring Cambridge with a vineyard<\/a>.<\/p>\n For an equally appealing, yet very different lifestyle, a player might want to be within goalkicking distance of the new training hub at Kingston. <\/p>\n But where to live? <\/p>\n No.60 Old Summerleas Rd, Kingston. Picture: realestate.com.au<\/p>\n On the hill overlooking Kingston Beach with 2500sq m of land. Yes, please.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
