Celebrating 21 Years of Community, Connection, and a Home Built to Last: The Lifestyle Story

When Jean Clarke, a beloved homeowner at Lifestyle Brookfield, celebrated her 100th birthday, it marked more than just a personal milestone. For Lifestyle Communities, it was a poignant moment in their 21-year journey. Jean wasn’t just celebrating a century of life; she also happens to be the second-ever homeowner at Lifestyle Communities, marking a history intertwined with that of the company itself.

For Managing Director and Co-founder James Kelly, celebrating Jean’s special day was a reminder of the vision that sparked Lifestyle Communities all those years ago. Along with fellow founders Dale and Bruce, James set out to create something different - something more than just bricks and mortar. They wanted to build communities with heart, soul, and a true sense of belonging.

At the time, the community living options available were devoid of warmth or personality. The founders saw this gap and knew there was an opportunity to do more than just build home. Their mission was clear: to build communities that not only met practical needs but also enriched the lives of the people who lived there. This homeowner-centric approach has shaped everything Lifestyle Communities has done since.

Every home is designed with care, thoughtfulness, and the homeowner’s comfort in mind, building homes that don’t just look beautiful but feel wonderful to live in. It’s this attention to detail that makes Lifestyle Communities stand out.

What truly sets Lifestyle Communities apart is the deep, heartfelt care woven into every interaction. From day one, exceptional customer service has been at the heart of their success. Today, a passionate team of 160 individuals works tirelessly to create extraordinary experiences for every homeowner. They’re not just employees; they’re the heartbeat of Lifestyle Communities, ensuring that every homeowner feels valued, heard, and supported.

James shares what he loves most about Lifestyle Communities with heartfelt simplicity: “I love our team. I love our communities. And most of all, I love our homeowners and the difference it makes in their lives.” That’s the true essence of Lifestyle Communities - the tangible impact on people’s lives. Whether it’s the peace of mind that comes with downsizing to a well-maintained, secure home or the joy of connecting with neighbours who quickly become friends, the Lifestyle difference is one that transforms lives for the better.

As Lifestyle Communities looks ahead, the mission remains the same: to keep creating homes with heart, to keep building communities where people feel supported, and to continue making a real difference in the lives of every homeowner. Because at its core, Lifestyle Communities is about more than just homes - it’s about living life unlimited.
