Six reasons why lifestyle living is the change you need

Thinking about downsizing now or in the next few years? Find out why residents at Lakeside Lara think lifestyle living trumps staying at home.

As we approach the tail end of the year and start thinking about hosting family

celebrations and what 2025 will bring, some people find it’s a good time to start thinking about their next chapter, especially after retirement. If you’re in that position, here are six of the most common reasons our residents think moving to Ingenia Lifestyle Lakeside Lara was the best move they ever made:

1. The low-maintenance living

There are many green thumbs at Lakeside Lara, but for most residents, tending to a small backyard and growing their favourite varieties is a far cry from climbing ladders to clean out gutters in a big house, mowing lawns or worrying about maintenance.

2. The people

Having like-minded neighbours means new friendships are just waiting to find you. Many of our residents have a more active social life than they’ve ever had before. From Friday night happy hour, to work-out buddies, to sewing groups, to weekly morning teas, everyone will find a place to fit in.

3. The facilities

Everything you need is on your doorstep with even more resort-style facilities opened earlier this year at Lakeside Lara. Whether you prefer to relax and enjoy the library, cinema or Clubhouse lounge, or if you’re keen to get moving and take advantage of the indoor pool, gym, yoga studio or golf simulator, there’s something for everyone.

4. The privacy

Our residents love their independence, and our architecturally-designed, light-filled homes make relaxing at home an absolute pleasure. With private gardens and everything you need within your own home, you’ve always got a private oasis to retreat to (especially important if you’ve got a busy social life).

5.The sense of community

Lakeside Lara is a gated community where our friendly team and residents look out for each other. Some residents take advantage of knowing they can ‘lock up and leave’ their homes to tick some long-awaited travel destinations off their list – from sunny interstate trips to hitting the road less travelled in our own state.

6. The financial freedom

The Ingenia Lifestyle financial model means no stamp duty, and you keep any capital gains if you decide to sell. Plus we do not have a DMF or exit fee on any new home. And for many residents, selling their family home and moving to a home at Lakeside Lara means freeing up capital and spending it on the good things in life (like travel, good food, and grandkids).

With those six reasons to make the move, plus new homes selling from $529,000*, now is a fantastic time to make the decision that’s right for you. Call Dianna on 0476-839 644 or visit liveinlara.com.au for more information. Our beautiful display homes are open Monday to Saturday at Lakeside Lara, 40-60 Watt St, Lara.
