Downsize your home, upsize your life at Lifestyle Communities®

For almost 22 years, our purpose has been to create communities that deliver exceptional living experiences for our homeowners. So, how does life change when you make the move?

Less work, more play

Downsizing into one of our beautiful, low-maintenance homes means less time fixing issues around the home, and more time doing the things you love! You’ll not only experience lower living costs, but you’ll eliminate the time and stress that comes with tending to a larger home and garden.  

Downsizing also encourages you to declutter, reassess what is important and take with you only the things that bring you joy. With less time spent on cleaning and maintaining your home, you’ll be surprised by the time you’ll have to do the things you love. Goodbye home maintenance, hello easy living!

Feel safe and secure

Making the move to a secure community means you can lock-up and leave with peace of mind. Many neighbourhoods no longer have that sense of community that made us feel connected and safe in the past, but when you live in a Lifestyle Communities, you’ll know your neighbour’s name. Each of our communities features after-hours gated entries, live-in managers and community-minded homeowners who will keep an eye on things when you’re away.  

Enjoy financial freedom

Downsizing and moving into a more affordable home can help you free up a significant amount of cash to fund your retirement plans. This means you can turn your dreams of retirement into a reality.

An “asset rich” approach to retirement may no longer work for your lifestyle, so freeing up equity by downsizing could be the best option for you. The proceeds from your existing home can then be used to pay for your new home, pay off debts, supplement your retirement income, boost your super, or more excitingly, make your dream holiday a reality.

Get active with ease

Falling in love with downsizing is easy when you have access to resort-style amenities at your doorstep. All our communities feature a range of facilities that make active living oh so effortless, making you feel like you’re on holiday every day. What’s not to love?

Some of the facilities you’ll find at our communities include:

  • Indoor pool and spa
  • Gymnasium
  • Wellness centre
  • Sauna
  • Cinema
  • Tennis court
  • Pickleball court
  • Croquet lawn
  • Workshop
  • Bowling green
  • Craft and art studio
  • Function spaces
  • Dog wash
  • Electric car
  • Fishing boats at our bayside communities!
Belong to a supportive community

One of the biggest reasons our homeowners fall in love with their downsized lifestyle, is the supportive and well-connected community they become a part of. Because our communities attract like-minded people who respect their neighbourhood and the people in it, the sense of community is undeniable.

If you love the idea of belonging to a community that values safety, connectedness and fun, then downsizing to a Lifestyle Community could be the perfect move for you.

Beautiful homes

Homes at Lifestyle Communities are carefully designed to be low-maintenance and affordable, while still remaining stylish & modern. Spacious, stylish and filled with natural light, our homes feature contemporary designs, quality fixtures and fittings plus the perfect balance of indoor and outdoor spaces. All new homes come with a 10-year structural warranty and a two-year non-structural warranty.

Great locations

It’s so important to love the location you live in. That’s why our communities are in convenient and highly sought after locations, with easy access to local shops, facilities, attractions and transport. A lot of thought goes into the placement of our communities, and how this can enhance the lives of our homeowners.

Reduced living costs

Making the move to a Lifestyle Community can help to significantly reduce a range of living costs. That’s because, by leasing the land that your home sits on, we take responsibility for the costs associated. This makes financial planning easy, reducing the amount of bills and potentially unplanned expenses you are accountable for. These costs include:

  • No council rates
  • No stamp duty when you move in
  • No water rates
  • Discounted electricity
  • Lower household insurance costs because you live in a secure environment
