Downsizers seeking an active lifestyle are invited to Ingenia Lifestyle Lara to celebrate the Geelong Seniors Festival this October and learn first-hand the benefits of community living at the five events scheduled at the community.

As demand grows for affordable seniors community living, Ingenia Lifestyle Lara only has a handful of homes remaining, with plans to launch its next new stage soon.

Land lease communities are a popular living trend for seniors where residents own a home but lease the land, creating a more affordable entry price point for those looking to downsize.

Ingenia Lifestyle Lara homes sell from $165,000, with no entry or exit fees, stamp duty, rates or deferred management fees providing the perfect opportunity for over 45s looking to downsize with the added bonus of stamp duty exemptions.

Resident, Jan Elevato is enjoying all that Ingenia Lifestyle Lara has to offer. Jan said that weekly classes in the pool were very popular and a great way to remain active.

“I love the social life! The people are great, neighbours are fantastic and I have made fantastic friends since being here. I love that there is always plenty to do and the social life of the village.

“There is always something going on at the clubhouse which is great, lots of different functions to participate in, which I think is why there is such a great sense of community,” Jan said.

Ingenia Lifestyle Lara boasts a $3.1 million state-of-the-art clubhouse with stage, dance floor, lounge, library, internet kiosk and fitness centre. The resort style facilities also include a tennis court, billiard & darts area, bowling green, indoor heated swimming pool with sauna and spa, multi-purpose room and commercial chef-standard kitchen, large function dining hall, BBQ and outdoor entertaining alfresco area.
