Quick facts

About Equinox

Equinox Property Group operates lifestyle villages and parks in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. Its communities are concentrated in Victoria, which gives you a choice of settings across the state. If you are weighing up a move, it helps to think about how close you want to be to family, friends, medical services and the places you already know. Its lifestyle villages cater to semi or full time retirees, with over 55s independent living options.

Residents own their home and lease the land. Equinox looks after the shared grounds, which leaves your time free for friends, family and the interests you enjoy. Amenities and activities vary by community, so it is worth checking what a particular village offers rather than assuming every location is the same. Visiting in person, speaking with current residents and reading the contract carefully are sensible steps for any downsizer.

Equinox is a private business focused on affordable accommodation, principally lifestyle villages for semi or full time retirees. It is owned by its two directors. For many people, knowing who runs a business and how long it has operated is a useful starting point when comparing options.

Costs & fees

For a current price, call Equinox directly on 03 5794 2681 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. Because pricing depends on the home and the community, asking for the figures in writing gives you something concrete to compare. When you call or enquire, it is worth asking what you pay upfront, what you pay on an ongoing basis and what happens to those costs when you eventually sell or leave.

Thinking about your own budget before you call also helps. Work out what you expect to receive from selling your current home, what you want to keep in reserve and how the weekly costs of a lifestyle village compare with what you spend now. That way you can judge an offer against your own circumstances rather than in isolation.

Care & lifestyle services

Equinox communities are built for independent living. You live in your own home, among like-minded people over 55, and stay in charge of how you spend your days. For many over 55s, that independence is the main attraction of a lifestyle village, as it keeps day-to-day decisions in your hands.

No Equinox community has on-site aged care or serviced apartments. If you think you may need care in future, it is sensible to ask Equinox how that situation would be handled, and to plan with your family or adviser what you would do, because that support is not provided on site.

Shared facilities give you easy places to meet your neighbours. Depending on the community, you will find a swimming pool, a barbecue area, a games room or a kiosk. The mix of facilities varies by community. Ask to see the facilities at the village you are considering, and think about whether you would use them regularly. A place to gather with neighbours can make a new community feel like home more quickly.

What makes Equinox different

Equinox charges no entry or exit fees at its lifestyle villages, so you don't pay to move in or to leave. You also pay no council rates, and weekly costs are affordable. Locations range from Melbourne's suburban fringes to wine country, regional Victoria and the coast, so you can choose the setting that suits you. Each of these points is worth confirming for the specific village you are looking at, and putting questions to Equinox directly is the simplest way to do that.

Equinox has operated since 2017, and its two directors own the business. Use the map and listings on this page to look at individual communities, and compare what each one offers against what matters most to you.
