There’s so much more to downsizing than decluttering and moving into easy-to-manage, age-appropriate accommodation, though that is a major benefit for Ingenia Lifestyle residents. When you join our community in Lara, Greater Geelong, you’re joining like-minded friends who, like you, prioritise independent and active living.

Our communities in Victoria and along the Eastern Seaboard enable you to lead the life you want in retirement, whether it’s relaxing at home and enjoying the breezy alfresco spaces, locking up and leaving to travel, or immersing yourself in community life and joining in the regular social activities. It’s easy to understand why downsizing to Ingenia Lifestyle Lara is so popular:

• Access exclusive, on-site resort-style facilities
• Choose from a great range of low-maintenance stylish home designs
• Benefit from a range of lifestyle programs and events to keep you active

Our residents enjoy independence and greater financial confidence when they downsize. Unlike traditional retirement villages where exiting can be an expensive experience, your brand new Ingenia Lifestyle home is yours to upgrade, renovate and sell at any time, and you needn’t worry about:

• Those expensive exit and deferred management fees
• The need to reinstate the condition of your home if you decide to sell
• Paying stamp duty or council rates that chip away at your retirement savings

Moreover, as an Ingenia Lifestyle resident, you keep 100% of your capital gains when you sell, unlike traditional retirement villages in Lara, Geelong and Melbourne where you would have to share in any capital growth with the operator.
