Why over 50’s are rethinking downsizing

Thousands of Victorians who over 50 are rejecting the ordinary, cookie-cutter approach to downsizing their home. Whether you have an empty nest, retirement on the horizon, or looking to free up $100,000s in cash and live on your own terms, this next chapter doesn’t have to feel stale and restrictive. Lifestyle Communities offer a fresh approach to living, designed thoughtfully for over 50s. You’ll be surrounded by like-minded people, enjoy low-maintenance living, and have more time to focus on your health, wellbeing and the things that matter most.  

Take Sue and Mark, who now call Lifestyle Riverfield home. After leaving their beloved family home in Somerville where they raised their children and lived for 26 years, they found a new place that feels like home. Initially, the move felt impossible for Sue, who wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the neighbours, memories and the life that they had built over decades. But now? Sue and Mark are making the most of everyday, spending time in the Clubhouse, swimming, enjoying the sauna, staying active in the gym and meeting new friends along the way.  

The days of dull, one-size-fits-all downsizing is over. Instead, you can enjoy resort-style amenities, low-maintenance homes and a feeling of security in a community where you know your neighbours. Are you ready to join over 5,800 homeowners who have made the move to Lifestyle Communities? Explore the possibilities to downsize in Clyde at our next Open Day on June 28th from 10am to 12pm at Lifestyle Meridian and 12pm to 2pm at Lifestyle Riverfield. Visit lifestylecommunities.com.au/events or call 1300 50 55 60 to learn more.
