Why Lifestyle Villages Are So Popular
Do you keep hearing about lifestyle communities and wonder what all the fuss is about? More and more people over the age of 50 are choosing to make the move for a happier, healthier, and simpler lifestyle.
Lifestyle communities offer more than just downsizing opportunities – they may even help you to live a longer and healthier life! Research conducted by the Retirement Living Council has shown that village residents were 41% happier and 15% more physically active than those who didn’t live in a village. So what does retirement living look like? Think of resort-style facilities, financial freedom, and a strong sense of community, all while enjoying independent living in your modern, stylish, single-storey home.
Living Like You’re on Holiday, Every Day
Lifestyle villages, like RV Lifestyle Village Oceanside, offer resort-style facilities that make every day feel like a getaway.
Picture this:
- A lagoon pool, gym, and tennis/pickleball courts to keep you active
- A tenpin bowling alley, gold-class-style cinema, and library for relaxation and fun
- An arts and craft studio, men’s shed, and workshop for creativity and hobbies
- A gated community so you can feel safe and secure
Freedom to Do More of What You Love
Downsizing to a modern, low-maintenance home means less upkeep and more time for what you love.
- Love to travel? Lock up and leave with peace of mind, knowing that there’s no gardens to water or pool to maintain.
- Enjoy the outdoors? The village features landscaped parklands, picnic spaces, and BBQ areas for you to enjoy, while the wider Burnett Heads township offers stunning coastal bike paths, walking trails and sandy beaches just a short stroll away.
- Have an RV, caravan, or boat? RV Lifestyle Village homes feature oversized garages, so there’s plenty of space for your vehicles and toys!
A Community That Feels Like Home
At RV Lifestyle Village Oceanside, you’ll find a vibrant, welcoming community where socialising is easy and fun. Join a weekly fitness class or social club, meet a friend for coffee, hit the gym, or fire up the BBQ—it’s all about making new connections, friendships, and having a good time.
Concerned you’ll be living in everyone’s pockets? Don’t be! You’re in control of how much or how little you want to be involved in the community, while having the comfort of knowing if you need some support, a friendly face is never too far away.
The Financial Benefits of Lifestyle Villages
Moving to a lifestyle community isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade—it can also be a smart financial move. Here’s why:
- No entry or exit fees – Unlike many retirement communities, there are no hidden costs when you move in or out.
- No stamp duty, body corporate, or council rates – Fewer expenses mean more money in your pocket.
- Affordable site fees with potential rent assistance – Weekly site fees are $235.60 (as of October 1, 2024), and you may qualify for government rent assistance.
- Retain 100% of your capital gains – If you decide to sell, you set the price, choose your real estate agent, and keep all your profits.
