Benefits of Community Living in Retirement

People often leave it too late to consider retirement village living.

At Treeview Estates, we have found that the number one thing our residents say after moving to Treeview is that they wish they had made the move sooner. In fact, half of our residents tell us that they wished they had moved in right after their children had left home!

If you’re considering moving to a retirement village, don’t wait for a health issue to make your decision—the best time to consider moving into retirement village living is when you’re still healthy, active and independent.

Less maintenance 

Downsizing in retirement is a great way to make the most of your money, whether you’re looking to retire sooner or have more cash in your pocket.

While you might be worried about having less space, there are plenty of benefits to downsizing as you get older. For one thing, taking care of a smaller home is easier—you don’t have to worry about maintenance, and your living costs will be lower. That means you can put more money into your super fund or retire earlier if that’s what you want!

Friendly neighbourhood

Retirement villages are an excellent way to improve your quality of life. Many retirees choose to live in a retirement village because it offers them the chance to be surrounded by people similar in age, which can make for great new friends. You might even learn some new skills—because retirement villages are designed to offer their residents opportunities for social engagement, physical activity, and intellectual stimulation. 

Treeview Estate’s Lifestyle Centre is always buzzing with activities, from art classes to line dancing. You’ll also find a library, pool table, cafe/kitchen, meeting & function rooms, beauty salon and outdoor BBQ area.

Location

Finding the perfect location is one of the most important things you can do when planning your retirement. You want to be able to enjoy your golden years without having to worry about what’s going on in the outside world. Retirement villages offer the peace and security of knowing that all the hard work of locating a suitable residence has been taken care of for you.

Retirement village locations are chosen for their proximity to health services, shopping centres, services and transport. So your new home will have everything you need on your doorstep. In addition, shuttle buses and village staff are on site to help residents who need assistance getting around town.

We understand that choosing a retirement community can be difficult, and we are here to help you find the right fit for your needs. Treeview Estates is a beautiful community that offers various services and amenities for its residents. The Treeview team are dedicated to providing excellent customer service so that you are always welcome, safe, secure and a part of the community.
