Living by the sea exerts an air of magic, a determining factor of Leigh-on-Sea’s recent ‘happiest place to live’ title.  As the Essex town enjoys this accolade, awarded by Right Move [\[i\]](#_edn1), potential buyers have been drawn to nearby Southend-on-Sea, where Bellway Essex’s Ekco Park has just two apartments remaining.  Ideal for first-time buyers, professionals and investors, the property is available with Help to Buy and offers the final opportunity to join this thriving community.

Amongst a collection of one, two and three-bedroom homes, The Eastwood and the Gunners are stylish one and two-bedroom apartments offering an open-plan living, kitchen and dining area. With sleek features including an impressive kitchen, a contemporary bathroom featuring Roca sanitary ware and a spacious wraparound balcony, this unique apartment is ideal for easy and relaxed lifestyles.
