Quick facts

About Lifestyle

Lifestyle began in 2003, and its over-50s communities are now dotted around Victoria. Homes are low-maintenance, designed and built in partnership with Todd Devine Homes since 2008. Every community is set up for independent living, so you keep your own routine and your own front door. For many people, that independence is exactly what they want from a smaller, easier home, and it is worth thinking about how much day-to-day involvement you would like.

Residents own their home and lease the land it sits on. Lifestyle maintains the front gardens, roads and shared spaces, with a professional landscaping team looking after them. That leaves your weekends free for family, friends and travel. Amenities and activities vary by community, so it helps to ask about the specific community you are considering rather than assuming they are all alike.

Lifestyle says it is recognised as a leader in creating affordable homes for Victorians over 50. That is the company's own description, so treat it as a starting point and compare it with what you see in person. It is a publicly listed company, owned by its shareholders.

Costs & fees

For a current price, call Lifestyle directly on 1300 50 55 60 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. When you make contact, it is worth asking what the price covers, which charges continue after you move in and how the arrangement works for a home on leased land, so that you can compare homes on the same basis.

Care & lifestyle services

You live independently in your own home, with on-site support for the day-to-day running of your community. That support is not clinical care, so ask your preferred community how it works from day to day. It also helps to be clear about what you would want from support now and what you might want later, so you can ask direct questions and judge whether the answers suit you.

Lifestyle is an over-50s community operator, not a residential aged care provider, so every home is a place you live in on your own terms. If you think you may need personal or medical care in future, it is sensible to plan for how you would arrange it.

Every clubhouse has a welcoming entrance, space for community-wide events, a pool and spa and a gym. Facilities differ from one clubhouse to the next, and some communities add extras such as bars, vegetable gardens, boat or caravan storage and village buses. Because the extras differ, make a list of the facilities that matter most to you, whether that is somewhere to swim, a place to train or room for a hobby, and check each community against it.

What makes Lifestyle different

Lifestyle gives you 25 communities across Victoria, so you can choose a location close to family and friends. Resort-style shared amenities come with the address, from the clubhouse to the pool and gym. You have places to swim, train and meet your neighbours without leaving home. When so much is on the doorstep, it is easier to stay active and to get to know the people around you, which matters for many people after a move.

More than 5,800 homeowners call Lifestyle home, and in an internal homeowner survey 95% of respondents said they would recommend Lifestyle to a friend. Confidential homeowner surveys run twice a year, and the satisfaction score has climbed to 78.9 as of March 2026. Survey results like these are a useful guide, and they are most helpful when you read them alongside what current homeowners tell you when you visit.
