Working hard to build a family home is something many Australians understand and have experienced. That thrill of getting on the housing ladder and then either upgraded or lovingly added to that first time which has seen so many happy occasions as the kids were born and then grew into young adults before heading away to start their own adventures.
It can often happen that the home is too big, especially in later life when retirement comes close. The bills for just one or two occupants become exorbitant and some of the property is hardly used. For anyone in that situation, it makes sense to downsize and look for something more suitable that will save money and is affordable after the sale of the old home, such as the Lifestyle Communities’ retirement village in Somerton.
Moving somewhere picturesque and leafy will allow for a happy retirement in a development that has the atmosphere of a country town. Neighbours will soon become good friends, and together you can enjoy the activities in the safety of a gated community. Pets are welcome too, so there is no danger of loneliness, while those in charge of the facility ensure that people come first.
It’s only 7km to the nearest high street which possesses boutiques along with cafes and restaurants, which necessities can be purchased from a closer convenience store. A nearby botanic park is the perfect place for those who want to enjoy nature, while the actual community has a plethora of activities and amenities that visiting friends and relatives can also enjoy.
The barbeque area may be welcomed after a roll on the bowling green, or perhaps croquet or billiards might be pastimes taken up and enjoyed. Maybe the clock can be turned back on the tennis court as friendships and competition flourish. Those wanting to stay in trim have a gym and indoor pool and can also relax and unwind in the spa.
Electric bikes are available to get about with a library offering somewhere to enjoy reading in the perfect environment, as the big screen provides a superb cinema experience. Those wanting to charge their electric car are accommodated there is even a dog wash to pamper pooches.
Wonderful houses and world-class amenities can open a new chapter of security, fun, friendship, and affordability when choosing the best lifestyle communities for a well-deserved later life.
