What is Retirement Living?

Living in a retirement apartment is no different from living in any other apartment block. Your home is your own and you decorate and furnish it as you wish. You can have family and friends to come and stay and you will have to do your own washing up.

Retirement Development is a collection...

Put very simply, a retirement development is a collection of individual homes in a secure or gated environment with a number of communal facilities.  They are usually purpose-built apartment blocks, which typically include 20 – 50 individual properties. Most retirement developments are built close to leisure, transport and shopping facilities.

The individual homes...

The individual homes within a retirement development are usually, but not exclusively, one or two bedroomed apartments. They each have their own front door, modern kitchens and bathrooms and in most cases have access to landscaped communal gardens. Within each development, there is usually an Owners’ Lounge where residents can get together and socialise.
