Enjoy a new lease on life among friends at Rivervue
Australian seniors are redefining the Great Australian Dream and chasing a reality more fulfilling than just bricks and mortar. Instead of a big house that requires maintenance, and a backyard that requires mowing, they’ve
traded up in favour of lifestyle-enhancing living arrangements.
Over 200 residents have discovered a life in style by the water at Rivervue retirement village which they now call home.
Under a leasehold agreement, residents have the security to enjoy their property and resort-style amenities for a 99-year period protected under the Retirement Villages Act.
Residents have found that their newfound lifestyle in a retirement village comes with health and social benefits.
“It is a lease; but it’s a lifestyle. And that’s what we bought into,” says Rivervue resident Ray Jacobs.
Ray’s wife, Barbara, agrees.
“You don’t have to do everything that’s here – you have a choice,” she said. “You’re still as free as you were when you
had your own home, but you’ve got a choice to socialise with all the people here if you wish.”
No stamp duty is payable on your new home at Rivervue, saving you thousands compared to downsizing to a smaller home in the
suburbs.
All front gardens and common landscaped areas are maintained by the village gardening team. And management has a long-term
interest in the upkeep of the village, protecting the value of your investment.
Plus, the lifestyle opportunity that abounds is truly priceless – morning laps in your own swimming pool, a session on the treadmill
in your own gym, watching sport on the big screen, and enjoying happy hour every hour.
And no, you’re not dreamin’. Even Darryl Kerrigan would admire the serenity of the two-hectare private River Garden and immediate access to walking tracks along
the Maribyrnong River.
“You’re getting a lifestyle, community, activities and social interaction. That’s what you’re moving into,” said Rivervue resident Russell Chandler.
“You’re leaving behind isolation and moving into a community atmosphere,” he said.
The sense of pride and achievement is as strong as ever for residents who have secured their new lease on life with a home and lifestyle at Rivervue.
