For people looking to retire in style, make new friends and enjoy the natural beauty of Queensland, Samford Grove is catering beyond expectations.
A stylish home, vibrant community and attractive location are increasingly top-of-mind for Australians planning their dream retirement.
With people living longer and more active lives, having a range of amenities on your doorstep is more important than ever. But there’s also a desire to be perfectly set up to entertain family and friends and have the opportunity to make new connections.
Specialist retirement operator Reside Communities is delivering on these expectations with the release of 12 brand-new apartments at its Samford Grove community, as well as a new clubhouse for residents, The Homestead.
Samford Grove is located in the scenic township of Samford, north-west of Brisbane.
Located in Samford, around 35 minutes drive from Brisbane’s CBD, the one and two bedroom apartments are designed for retirees looking to downsize at an affordable price point. Every apartment has a master bedroom with a walk-in robe and a large balcony with views of the village, as well as an open plan kitchen, dining and living space for easy entertaining.
“Residents at Samford Grove enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle in a secure and safe environment, surrounded by people at the same stage of life,” says Glen Brown, chief executive officer at Reside Communities.
Community and connection count
Cameron Kusher, executive manager – economic research at REA Group, says Australians are becoming more attracted to retirement community options where everything they need is at their fingertips.
“You have all the amenities and you have all the assistance if you need it, and it comes at a more affordable price than what it would be to downsize into a regular smaller house or apartment,” says Kusher.
A similar-aged community at your doorstep means having other people to share the good times with.
At Samford Grove, amenities and social spaces are about to get a big boost thanks to The Homestead.
“The Homestead will be an extension of every residents’ living room, providing a central lifestyle hub for the community to come together, pursue hobbies and interests, and access all the village’s great services in a welcoming and secure environment,” says Brown.
The Homestead has a café, cinema, resident-run bar, library, gym, workshop and indoor swimming pool. It also features a hairdressing and beauty salon, as well as dedicated consulting rooms for visiting allied health services and doctors.
The brand-new apartments at Samford Grove have been completed.
Brown says The Homestead will be the icing on the cake of an already active, supportive community, with some residents having been part of Samford Grove since it first launched in 2003.
“There is a strong sense of community, fostered by a busy calendar of social activities and events, from bingo and cards to Friday night fish and chips,” he says.
Samford, scenery and sunshine
For Australian retirees, Kusher says this region of Queensland has long held appeal for those looking to retire in comfort and style – and this isn’t subsiding.
Samford is an idyllic location with a country-town feel, and an easy drive to the Brisbane CBD and Brisbane Airport, making it a great spot for retirees keen to visit family and friends or travel, says Brown.
“Our Samford Grove community is just a short walk from a wide range of convenience shopping, casual dining and allied health services in Samford Village, along with parks, recreation reserves and creeks,” he says.
Bill and Gwenda have found their new home at Samford Grove.
New residents Bill and Gwenda considered many retirement villages around Brisbane, but were immediately attracted to the friendly, country atmosphere of Samford, and the layout and accommodation of Samford Grove.
The pair say if anyone is considering a move to Samford Grove not to miss the opportunity to embrace a relaxed lifestyle.
“We are looking forward to enjoying all the activities and joining with the other residents and making lots of new friends,” Bill and Gwenda said. “We are now home.”
