How Downsizing to a Retirement Village near Epping Can Elevate Your Life

For many people, the continual growth that we experience as adults continues long after it needs to. It’s a mindset we get into. We need a better job, more money, a bigger house, a better car: the list goes on. But if you’ve raised a family and they’ve flown the nest, suddenly you don’t need all that space. And you’ve pumped so much money into the property through the mortgage and maintenance, but surely there comes a time when you can get something back.

Well, here’s the good news: you can sell the cherished old family property and remain a homeowner by acquiring a more suitable place in a retirement village near Epping. Or in Mickleham, St Leonrds or Phillip Island, to name but three other options for our retirement village units for sale across Melbourne. Most of our homeowners stay within 10km of where they’ve been all this time, but you don’t have to. The choice is yours with our alternative retirement living options.

Instead of the typical Epping retirement village what you will be getting is a home that takes up less of your time and money to look after, because our units are quality, low-maintenance homes. You can still have a bit of garden, but with professionals tending it – although if you enjoy that kind of thing, you can take care of your own patch.

What is an Over-50 Retirement Village near Epping?

What this means is that retirement is not a requirement. Most of our homeowners are retired, but people who are not quite there yet can and have joined us. Anyone over 50 is welcome, whether you’re retired, semi-retired or still working full-time. It’s really more a question of choosing to live with or near people like you. You can be as independent as you wish or choose to find yourself a whole bunch of new friends of a similar age. That means if you enjoy having an active social life, you can do that here, but if you enjoy your own company, you can do that too.

Is a Home in an Epping Retirement Village Affordable?

That is the whole idea, but everyone’s financial situation is different, so the best thing is to contact us and talk about it. You can call us or fill in the online form and we’ll get back to you. We have a helpful team at your disposal, so whatever level of detail you want to go into, we can answer all your questions.

Is Safety and Security a Priority?

At Lifestyle Communities we take such things very seriously and our villages come with the inbuilt advantage of being gated communities with community managers on-site. That means the general public can’t just come waltzing in and there is a reassuring official presence. Anyone can feel vulnerable as they get older, and we find relatives and friends of our male homeowners, as well as the women owners, are glad to think their loved ones are in a safe environment.

So, downsizing retirement villages: if you’ve never thought about it before, maybe now is the time to start considering it. And if it’s been in the back of your mind, perhaps this is the time to do something about it. Get in touch and let’s see how we can help you find the right Epping, Bundoora or Craigieburn retirement village to suit your needs.
