Lifestyle Community in Arundel Lives Up to Promises

How an over 50’s resort on the Gold Coast is backing up its promise to provide “a better way to live.”
Gold Coast, QLD, 22 April 2015 - When the developers of Seachange Village, an over 50’s lifestyle community in Arundel, decided to build a retirement community, they promised to provide active seniors with “a better way to live.” They toured over 50’s communities across Florida, USA. What they saw surprised them: places where people seldom moved voluntarily, but moved only when their families no longer wanted the burden of caring for them and helping them maintain their old homes.

They realised that they were going to have to build something totally different if they were to provide a better way of living. They didn’t know what they wanted to build, but they knew they didn’t want to build a traditional “senior community.” They went to work, asked a lot of questions and tried to figure out the perfect model for an active senior community.

Fast forward to 2015 where they have succeeded in their original goal. Seachange Village Arundel has a reputation as the most active lifestyle community in the Arundel area.

How They Did It

David Pradella, Managing Director of Seachange Village Arundel, explains the original process: “We knew we didn’t want a traditional retirement village, so we went about trying to create a lifestyle village that would be based on friendship, fitness and fun. We chose a location that would be attractive to people who wanted to truly enjoy their golden years. We made sure there was plenty of access to infrastructure and amenities. Then we tried to create a community that would be a real community, where like-minded people could make friends and enjoy an active lifestyle.”

The result is a lifestyle village that is within 10 km of a medical centre, a hospital, four golf courses, a large shopping centre and the beach. That village is built around a country club that offers indoor and outdoor sporting and exercise facilities, a library, a world class restaurant and a bar area.

High Quality Homes: Reasonable Prices

The homes at Seachange Village Arundel are designed to be ultra-efficient in use of both space and energy while being eco-friendly. The community is gated with private security, a CCTV system and a phone system to ensure that residents are safe and secure while preserving their privacy.

Promises Delivered

According to Mr Pradella: “We set out to provide a better way of life: a community that seniors would find attractive for spending their golden years. We think we have succeeded even beyond our original intention. So do our residents.”
