Everyone has different opinions on floor plans and how they like to live.

But after walking through a lot of apartments in this building, I can say this confidently: this layout is in my top two at Ruby.
It's one of those apartments where the design decisions actually make daily life easier, not harder.

The first thing you notice is the separation. The bedrooms sit apart, with no shared walls, which means real privacy. No hearing someone else's alarm, phone calls, or late-night scrolling. Just quiet when you want it.

Then there's the light. Two balconies bring it in from different angles, opening the apartment up and framing mountain views that come into their own at sunset. Privacy screens do their job too, letting the light in without inviting the neighbours into your living room.

Inside, the apartment feels calm and well resolved. Neutral without being bland, and anchored by timber-look flooring that looks good and makes life easier when it comes to cleaning. The hallway entry gives the apartment a proper sense of arrival. You're not stepping straight into the kitchen or lounge; it feels more like a home than an apartment.

The kitchen is where this layout really wins. Thick stone benchtops with a waterfall edge, an induction cooktop, an AEG dishwasher, and a double oven, which is one of those things you don't realise you'll love until you have it. Cookies in one, roast in the other. Or dinner and dessert without juggling trays. It's practical and genuinely enjoyable to use.

The main bedroom includes a discreet ensuite that doesn't steal space from the room. In fact, on my first walk-through, I remember double-checking because it's so well integrated you almost forget it's there. The main bathroom is generous, and the positioning of the hallway adds to that "this feels like a home" feeling.

This apartment sits high enough to feel removed, but still connected. The outlook stretches across Gungahlin towards the Brindabellas, with Telstra Tower quietly in the distance. Morning light, afternoon colour, and sunsets that do most of the work for you.

Ruby itself has a reputation for being well run, and it shows. The indoor pool on Level 8 is protected from the wind by glass and framed by mountain views, making it usable year-round. The gym on Level 16 is tucked away, private, and far more appealing than most apartment gyms, with hills as your only spectators. There are shared BBQ and pizza oven areas, rooftop spaces, and a small community that genuinely looks after the gardens and common areas.

Parking is straightforward. Two side-by-side car spaces with a storage cage on the same level and close to the lift. One of those details you don't think about until you really need it.
Location-wise, it's hard to fault. You're close enough to feel connected, but far enough to have your own space. The tram, buses and shops are an easy walk. Club Lime is across the road if you want a bigger gym. Bunnings, Spotlight, Kmart, Big W, Fantastic Furniture, they're all nearby, which makes setting up home far easier than it should be.

And the food options speak for themselves. Grease Monkey, Sunday Caf�, Dobinsons, El Jannah, Ramen, Jade Dumpling House, plus Aldi, Coles and Woolworths. You won't be short on choice.

For those who like to know who built what, Ruby was completed in 2020 by POD Projects, constructed by Core Development, the same team behind Jade next door, Mezzo across the road, Mulberry in Dickson, Boulevard in Denman Prospect and Salt in Kingston.
This is a genuinely strong two-bedroom apartment in a building that has proven itself. When you start listing the pros and cons, you may need more space for the pros.
