Lifestyle Communities: pioneers in downsizing for retirement 

If you’re over 50 and feel that your family home is becoming a burden, freeing up your assets by downsizing for retirement could be the breath of fresh air you’ve needed. Our pre-retirement properties are the perfect choice for those who are ready to benefit from more cash and less home maintenance.  

In other words, we’re not a retirement village! What we are is a pre-retirement lifestyle opportunity provider, offering over-50s the chance to buy a mortgage-free community-supported property within close proximity to easy-access resort-style amenities and social opportunities. Many of our homeowners are actually still in work and have found that by freeing up assets with one of our properties while they’re still earning, they’ve been able to extend that period of peace and relaxation that is often associated with retirement age. 

What are the benefits of downsizing for retirement with Lifestyle Communities? 

Enjoy a carefree Lifestyle 

Leave behind the stuffy idea of retirement we all know and choose to downsize for retirement instead within one of our 25 secure communities in Victoria. We have a large range of home types and retirement units for sale in Melbourne and across Victoria. These are low-maintenance properties, perfect for those who want to enjoy the local environment without feeling under pressure to manage and maintain the area individually. 

Free yourself from mortgage pressure 

New Homeowners are then free of mortgage pressure and don’t have to deal with the fuss of rate rises. The site’s weekly fees are kept at a competitively low rate and are then channelled back into supporting the community itself, so you are able to see your contribution benefit the community as a whole. 

Safe and secure community 

Our communities are one of the most popular choices for individuals living alone over 50 thanks to our outstanding security protocols. Each pre-retirement community has after-hours secure gates and on-site community managers who can directly monitor properties and handle any issues that arise. You are being looked out for 24/7, so you can sleep easy. 

Downsizing retirement options: the future of real estate 

In our post-covid society, many people are investing in opportunities to explore and take part in adventures at home and beyond. Our downsizing retirement solution is the perfect choice for keen travellers and those who are hoping to rejoin the world on a larger scale! Our lock-up and leave process gives homeowners peace of mind by notifying community managers of an absence, so they can keep up additional security around your property while you are away.
