Hear Why Downsizers Love Lifestyle Communities…

Have enjoyed the entire experience here at Lifestyle Meridian. I have always been socially and community engaged person who has downsized from a large property. Initially I was hesitant about a move to a smaller property with limited yard, close to neighbours and with constraints that a community life style requires. In reality, my hesitation and concerns were unfounded as I find I’m living in an awesome community with amazing facilities that you would expect in a 5 star holiday resort, with like minded energetic and fun people, who enjoy all this vibrant and fun community delivers. It is what you want to make it, for me the social interaction in the community has been something I have engaged in and I really enjoy all the activities especially the fortnightly golf games. Sure, when downsizing there is always some adjustment required, but when we’re all going through it together and understand those adjustments, there is always someone to help guide you through. For me, the adjustment was quick and I have much more time now for family and my new friends. Not sure how I ever had time to facilitate managing my large house and gardens in our old property. It is much more fun planning social and sporting activities to enjoy my day! Like most people here often say, wish I had have made this move earlier!

What a difference living in a Lifestyle Village has made. At every turn from my initial contact to being a resident, I have felt valued, respected and cared for. The facilities are excellent, and the houses are beautiful and fitted out with all the quality fittings and fixtures you could wish for. However it is the people that make one of the biggest differences. I feel surrounded by warmth, like minded people and happiness. Everywhere you go you are greeted by friendly smiles or greetings which is so uplifting, especially for someone like me who lives alone. Finally, the security. I feel protected, calm and most of all, totally safe, a commodity very rare in todays society.

You've got a gym, fishing boat, cinema, computers – you’ve got everything. We didn’t have all that at home – we had to go looking for it! It’s an amazing lifestyle. We’re really happy here.

My parents absolutely love it! It’s given them a new lease on life, they have made a lot of new friends, and enjoy the activities and social life on offer. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone over 50.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's The Average Age of People Moving Into a Lifestyle Community?

The average age of a person moving into our communities is 67 years old. Lifestyle Communities attracts a younger, active, independent homeowner who wants to downsize and enjoy a new phase of their life.

What is the Resort Fee*?

Enjoy an enhanced living experience that provides unparalleled comfort and convenience. Our Resort Fee encompasses all operational expenses and maintenance needs of our communities, ensuring an enhanced and hassle-free living experience. Eligible homeowners can leverage the Federal Government’s Rent Assistance program to alleviate a portion of these costs.

Access to a variety of facilities and amenities.
Maintenance of Clubhouse facilities, landscaping in common areas, and your front yard.
High-speed Internet and Wi-Fi connectivity within the Clubhouse.
Dedicated on-site Lifestyle Managers for personalised assistance.

Under the agreement with Lifestyle Communities®, the Resort Fee is payable by direct debit each fortnight. T&C: The Resort Fee refers to the Weekly Site Fee in the agreement.

What is the Deferred Management Fee (DMF)

The Deferred Management Fee (DMF) covers the cost of improving and contemporising your community over time. As a long-term operator, Lifestyle communities has a 30-year refurbishment plan in place for every community. The DMF allows us to keep the cost of purchasing a home as low as possible and ensures we have a vested interest in growing the value of your property. The DMF is only payable when you sell your home. We're in it for the long haul.

The outcomes of the DMF, proven over time, include:

  • It supports affordability by deferring some costs typically payable upfront, until later, when you choose to sell your home
  • The ability to enjoy equity free up when you purchase
  • Average capital growth of 9.5% pa over the last 10 years, representing a strong financial return
  • A mutual interest in driving capital growth of your home
Are my pets welcome at Lifestyle Communities?

Absolutely! Pets are part of your family and are very welcome. Each Clubhouse has ‘doggy parking’ for your pooch so you can enjoy the 5-star resort facilities while your furry friend is close by. Some communities even have dedicated dog washes and dedicated dog parks.

Do You Offer Rentals or Mortgages?

No, we don't offer rentals or mortgages - you must purchase the home outright.
