We’re proud to see Lyn Collins’ story featured on news.com.au, realestate.com.au and in The Australian this month, highlighting affordability living options in retirement communities. Lyn purchased a one-bedroom villa at Beachside Gardens in Safety Beach for just $200,000 – around 75% below the suburb’s median unit price.
After decades of renting, Lyn used her superannuation to buy into the vibrant community of Beachside Gardens, gaining not just financial security, but peace of mind, friendship, and her own home.
“Until earlier this year, I hadn’t realised the options available to me. I certainly would never have imagined it would be possible for me to own a home at Safety Beach. My one-bedder villa is lovely and large enough for me, and my grandchildren come and visit regularly. I can walk down to the beach, and there are always activities going on, happy hours, dinners, friendly neighbours. Most importantly, I’ve made wonderful friends, and I’ll never have to worry about housing insecurity again,” Lyn said.
Lyn’s story is a powerful reminder of how retirement living is evolving, with more Australians working longer, staying active and seeking affordable and connected lifestyles.
