It’s no surprise that many Australians are now choosing to downsize as they embrace their golden years. When done right, downsizing can significantly improve your life in ways you could only have imagined.
Less work, more play
What makes downsizing so appealing is that it gives you the opportunity to have a fresh start with less upkeep, lower bills, and more time to do the things you love. With kids having left the nest and living their own lives, you can finally focus on yourself – relax, unwind, and do what makes you happy. Many over-50s lifestyle resorts such as GemLife, have a unique array of premium facilities – such as a pool, bar, gym, games room, cinema, bowling alley and more – right at their doorstep, ensuring residents are never at a loss for anything to do.
Live in paradise
Why not make the next chapter of your life the best chapter ever? Do you wish for a sea change or tree change? Chase the sun and go where your heart desires. Lifestyle resorts are available in the most stunning locations around Australia. At GemLife, we have something for everyone – from coastal resorts on Queensland’s sub-tropical Sunshine Coast and the stunning Mid North Coast of New South Wales to idyllic rural resorts in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges and Highfields in country Toowoomba. All our sites are conveniently located near everything you could possibly need – shopping facilities, medical amenities, transport hubs, restaurants, and cafes.
Financial freedom
Land lease communities such as GemLife over-50s lifestyle resorts are ideal for those looking for affordable luxury resort-style living. The land lease model works on the premise that you buy the house but lease the land. Under a land lease model, you pay weekly site fees. Since you don’t own the land, you don’t have to pay stamp duty. GemLife also does not charge entry or exit fees and believes in financial transparency to help homeowners plan for their futures.
Vibe check
Everyone wishes to be part of a community where they feel a sense of belonging. When we feel valued and supported by those around us, life is better! The best part about most over50s communities is that you are surrounded by like-minded people who are in a similar phase in their life. At GemLife, we have vibrant and friendly communities made up of wonderful people who look out for each other and engage in lots of exciting and interesting social events throughout the year.
Home sweet home
Downsize and fall in love with your life. Over-50s communities are ideal as they offer low-maintenance homes specifically built to enhance the lives of their residents. Our modern, stylish homes at GemLife are a blend of beauty, functionality, and comfort. With a suite of home designs to choose from, each with multiple facade and colour-scheme options, you can customise your home to your taste and create the home of your dreams. Take the leap and downsize your way to a whole new life.
