As an Arvida Living Well community, St Albans focuses on helping every resident to live their best life.
That means ensuring each day includes activities, interactions, and experiences that nurture the mind, body, heart, and soul. Harnessing the spirit of partnership, staff and residents at St Albans collaborate harmoniously to create a caring, inclusive community. If you’re looking at a range of Christchurch retirement villages, St Albans should be on your shortlist. Our lovely modern Living Well apartments, serviced apartments, studios, and rest home rooms are warm and bright. You will be looked after by our attentive staff who treat everyone with respect and kindness. Our community values individuality and freedom of choice. This means you get to call the shots about how your day unfolds, such as when to eat breakfast and what activities to do.
A modern retirement community close to the exciting centre of Christchurch
One of the best things about living at St Albans is the proximity to shops, restaurants, parks, galleries, and historic places in central Christchurch. When heading out with family and friends there are always plenty of places to go! Hagley Park, the Botanic Gardens, and all the fabulous new eateries on Oxford Terrace are just minutes away.
Special mention must be made of the superior level of comfort you’ll experience at St Albans. Our serviced apartments for seniors have under-floor heating and double glazing, so winter stays on the outside. When the sun is shining, you can use your private balcony for fresh air and garden views.
Arvida. Living a life with soul.

Residents in the Totara Living Well apartments have free use of three electric vehicles for heading out and about.
Café

Many of our newer communities have an on-site café. We encourage interested residents to get involved and help the café operators.
Electric vehicles
Enjoy the convenience of a shared fleet of easy-to-drive electric vehicles.
Arvida’s Park Lane and St Albans communities in Christchurch have electric vehicles available for residents’ use. You don’t have to pay any extra and the cars are very easy to drive. If you choose to live in one of these communities, you may not need your own car.
Hair salon
Our on-site hairdressing, barber and beauty care services are convenient and affordable.
Many Arvida communities have a hair and beauty salon that looks after both ladies and gents. Our stylists are talented and friendly, so you’ll look forward to your regular appointment.
Library
Our books, your books, everybody’s books!
As a resident of an Arvida community, you won’t have to spend money on reading material. There will be a community library full of new and donated books and magazines. Some libraries have a computer for online reading too.
Piano
Tinkle the keys or sing along while someone else displays their musical skills.
You’ll notice that ‘piano’ is listed as a feature for many of our communities. We take care to keep these beautiful instruments in tune, so that residents can rediscover the pleasure of making music. Adept grandchildren are welcome to perform too!
Vegetable gardens
Get your hands dirty and grow some of your own food.
Raised vegetable gardens are an opportunity to collaborate with other gardeners in your Arvida community. Together, you’ll grow great things.
