Independent living explained


Independent living gives you the freedom to enjoy retirement on your terms. Whether you choose a Villa, Townhouse or Apartment, you'll have your own home and the privacy you'd expect, with the added benefits of being part of a welcoming community.


Spend less time on maintenance and more time doing the things you love. From shared amenities and social spaces to new friendships and shared interests, village life offers plenty of opportunities to stay connected.

Villas and Townhouses

Thoughtfully designed for later life, Arvida villas and townhouses are comfortable and easy to live in. They provide practical, single-level floorplans, light-filled warm spaces and less upkeep. Many also include private outdoor areas and internal-access garaging. With one, two and three-bedroom layouts available, there are options to suit a range of lifestyles.

Apartments

Easy living is an understatement with an apartment. It’s the perfect combination of privacy and community, with one main entrance, people around you, and a swipe key to get in and out. Apartments are purpose-built for retirement, with the same focus on warmth, comfort and ease as villa and townhouse options. In some communities, “living well” packages are also available to make day-to-day life a little easier.

The difference community makes

Hear how residents have embraced a lifestyle that offers independence, connection and the freedom to choose how they spend their days.

There's always something going on if you feel like joining in. But if I just want a quiet cuppa and a crossword, that's fine too. It's lovely having the choice.

I love living in my villa. It's easy, social and exactly the lifestyle I wanted.
