Making the switch from a large family home to a socially active community offers greater independence and peace-of-mind for senior Australians.

Living in an Ingenia community, one especially designed for the young senior generation, has proven to increase the well-being of residents as they have the chance to free up capital and time by downsizing their home and living in more quality accommodation.

Ingenia Lifestyle Chambers Pines Village Manager, Ian Thompson, says there is a growing popularity of over-55s lifestyle resorts in Queensland.

“One of the attractions of being in a village is the diversity and listening to the life stories.

“I see residents at my village as history builders of the past century, and it’s amazing who you come across and what they have done in their lives. You just go ‘wow’,” he said.

Ian says it’s exciting to be part of the development pipeline, and the growth of the industry.

“There are something like 30 million Americans living in these style of lifestyle estates. It’s quite a big industry, driven by people living longer and working longer. People are starting to value lifestyle,” Ian said.

Ingenia Communities has plans for more than 200 new manufactured homes in the Logan region over the coming years, subject to council approval, at Chambers Pines and Bethania.
