Quick facts

About WCV

WCV is a retirement village in north-west Sydney, New South Wales, built around independent living. Villas come in five sizes, so you can choose the space that suits the way you want to live. Consider how much space you would use day to day and how it compares with the home you live in now. Ask to see a villa in the size you prefer.

Residents own or lease their home. WCV maintains and cleans the shared facilities and common areas, including the gardens and lawns, so your time is free for what you enjoy. Whether you own or lease, the details of your agreement matter, so read it carefully and consider asking a solicitor or financial adviser to explain it. An in-house grounds and maintenance employee keeps the common property safe and pleasant.

WCV is listed in the Retirement Living Council's directory of Code of Conduct villages. A listing is one useful reference point when you compare villages, though it is no substitute for reading the contract and visiting in person. The code is the retirement living industry's own voluntary standard for how operators treat residents. The Edmonds family company, Tasman Securities Pty Limited, bought the operator and management rights for the village in 1987, and the original developer completed construction.

Costs & fees

The cost of living at WCV depends on the size of villa you choose and the ownership option that suits you. Prices are not shown on this page, so the most reliable way to understand what living at WCV involves is to ask. For a current price, call WCV directly on 0448 400 920 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. When you call, ask what you would pay for the villa you prefer, what regular charges apply and what they cover, and ask for the terms in writing. Compare the answers with other villages on your shortlist so you are weighing like with like.

Care & lifestyle services

WCV is an independent living village, so you stay in your own home and run your days your way. Doctors, a hairdresser and pharmacy services visit the village, and a 24-hour on-call emergency system is always there. Knowing that help is a call away can make independent living feel more secure, so ask how the emergency system works in practice.

WCV has no on-site aged care or serviced apartments, so the focus stays on independent living with visiting health services and emergency support close at hand. If you want to know how those services would suit your needs, ask WCV directly. Think about the support you might want in future, and compare it with what visits the village today. Ask which visiting services come, how often they come and how you would book them.

The large community centre has a library, a dance floor, billiards and darts, and a fireplace. A weekday village bus, daily newspaper delivery and village activities keep the days full. Seeing the community centre in person is the best way to judge whether the activities would suit you.

What makes WCV different

Ongoing costs at WCV sit well below the industry average, so more of your income stays yours. Lower ongoing costs matter when you are planning a retirement budget, so ask for the current charges and what they cover. Those charges still cover the village bus, the on-call emergency system and village activities. Every villa is a ground-floor, single-storey home with a private courtyard garden, giving you your own outdoor space and no stairs to manage. A single-storey home with a private outdoor space is worth comparing against other villages.

100 residents call WCV home, in a village run by the Edmonds family. Community size affects how a village feels day to day, so visit to see whether it suits you. WCV is also listed as a Code of Conduct village.
