Making Seaside Living Affordable

Discover how Hometown Australia can help you achieve the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of! We know that many Aussies aspire to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind, and swap high rises for high tide. There’s something about the salty sea air and the sound of crashing waves that can be so uplifting. With this in mind, we have an abundance of Hometown Australia locations by the beach.

Land lease living communities unlock your buying potential in seaside towns, making it affordable for over 50s* to get the beach lifestyle for themselves.

Hometown Australia resident Michelle always dreamed of a seachange, but never thought that a home near the beach would be within her means. “I had been to the [Beachfront] community and I’d had a look around, and I really thought it was out of my reach until I did some investigation and found out it was actually well within my reach,” said Michelle.

Having looked into the surrounding Hallidays Point area, Michelle found that it ticked all her boxes and had plenty of jobs that would allow her to continue working part-time. Hometown Australia provide over 50’s* homes for sale that are generally more affordable than traditional homes in the same highly sought-after locations. There is no stamp duty or council rates, helping your budget stretch further. You may also be eligible for government subsidies that add a little more flexibility to your bottom line.

For Michele, it was a no-brainer to sell her home and move to the Beachfront community, leaving her a nest egg for retirement in the future. “The banks aren’t really interested in single women over 60, and I was working part time”, said Michelle. “But when I looked into this, I was able to discharge my mortgage and live on the beach. The attraction for me has always been the beach — and now I live on the beach, and not for a million bucks,” said Michelle. 

Located in the heart of Hallidays Point, the Beachfront community is just steps from the stunning Red Head beach. Go for a wander along the golden sand and find yourself on the equally beautiful Black Head beach. The ebb and flow of the sea and the fresh air is a daily feature of this gorgeous beach community.

Exclusive to over 50’s*, this land lease community attracts like-minded people that become cherished friends. With a vibrant and exciting culture, Beachfront is a safe and welcoming place to live. “I’ve made some really firm friendships. We tend to look out for one another; if someone is going away for a couple of days we’ll notify each other and keep our eye out. It’s old school neighbours, and it’s lovely,” concluded Michelle.

The newly renovated warm and inviting clubhouse with an adjacent barbecue area is perfect for entertaining; Beachfront has all the amenities you need to stay social. With a pool and the ocean so near, there are plenty of ways to improve your freestyle. For those who love a putt, the neighbouring golf clubs will give you an ideal place to work on your handicap. Challenge your new neighbours to a round of doubles on the tennis court, or keep it lighthearted with a fun game of pickleball. There’s never a dull day at Beachfront.
