Built in the 1960’s by Beazley Homes this subdivision is very popular because of its sunny aspect, solid well built homes, and value for money. It has seen excellent capital growth and will continue to thrive as the land North is opened up on the East side of the state highway in the next few years. Paparangi has a wonderful microclimate with more sunshine and less wind than many of its immediate neighbours being on the lower West facing slopes of the ridgeline that faces Johnsonville and Churton Park.
