Sue Archer is counting down the final months until she moves into her new apartment at Bella Vista Haven in Sydney’s North-West and begins her new chapter, one filled with fun and social connections.
“I currently live in a residential apartment on the Upper North Shore and feel quite isolated. While my neighbours are lovely, most are out at work all day and I can go weeks without seeing them,’’ she said.
“With my two adult children and grandchildren now living overseas, I realise I am spending too much time at home alone and need to connect socially with other people.’’
After attending a recent retirement expo, Sue discovered another way of living offered at Bella Vista Haven and she placed a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment in the soon-to-be-completed Corymbia Residences.
“Bella Vista Haven has everything I want,’’ Sue said. “There is so much I’m looking forward to, including an active social life, the brand-new pool and cinema, even the convenience of a lift. Currently I live without a lift, so I won’t miss the stairs!”
“My new apartment on the fourth floor is going to be lovely. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious, I have a big balcony, and in the kitchen there’s double sink, space for a large fridge and cupboards everywhere. There are also maintenance people on site if anything breaks down.’’
But making new friends is the priority for Sue.
“Aveo and the existing community has been thoughtful by inviting me to the weekly Friday afternoon Happy Hour drinks, so I’ve already got to know several of the current residents.
“There’s a very active social committee of residents and I look forward to being involved in new opportunities. The site is large with plans for future growth so there will be even more people coming in over time, adding to an already very vibrant community.
‘We are surrounded by facilities with a private hospital, medical specialities, supermarkets and cafes. The transport links here are amazing. I realise I may not be driving forever so I appreciate a bus outside the door to Parramatta and the new Bella Vista metro station can get me anywhere, including the city in 35 minutes.”
The latest addition at Bella Vista Haven features new wellness and entertainment amenities, including a multi-lane indoor pool complex with infrared saunas, an alfresco BBQ area, a library and a cinema to further complement the community’s lifestyle offering.
Aveo’s Head of Development, Geoff Robinson, said the development of Bella Vista Haven has focused on sustainable design, innovative construction technology, and delivering a high standard of communal amenities that support a vibrant retirement lifestyle.
“As part of the current stage, and in response to resident and market feedback, Aveo fast-tracked the delivery of additional community amenities to further support wellness, healthy living and connection at the community,’’ he said.
“Construction is progressing on schedule, and with scaffolding now completely removed, apartments and community spaces are taking shape. It’s an exciting phase where the vision is really coming to life.”
