Live Where You Love: Sunny Queensland Hometown Locations

Life is about the simple moments: the feeling of the sun warming your skin, the sound of crashing waves, the invigoration of a fresh breeze. Get more of the moments that matter and move to a Hometown Australia community location in Queensland.

We know that many Aussies dream about retiring to warmer weather, which is why you will find many Hometown Australia communities in the Sunshine State. Land lease living is more affordable than traditional homeownership, putting highly sought-after tourism locations within your budget. You could downsize to beautiful Hervey Bay or the stunning Sunshine Coast with enough money left over to fund the lifestyle you deserve.

Let’s explore some of the incredible Queensland locations for your new home:

Perfect for those who prefer a metropolitan lifestyle, there’s lots to love about Brisbane. Enjoy all the fine dining restaurants and chic cafes, head into the city to watch the rugby or the theatre, or go for long walks in the gorgeous botanical gardens.

The Redlands community in Birkdale gives you the perfect balance between urban living and a seachange. Just moments from the beach, there’s a sea breeze in the air. The bayside location is only 30 minutes from the CBD, letting you go straight from a beach walk to a night on the town. Play some lawn bowls, grow some fresh veggies in the community garden, and enjoy the sunny days. Over 50’s* living in Redlands Bay has never been more vibrant!

There’s more to Moreton Bay than the famous bugs (although they’re absolutely delicious). Heading further up the coast, Moreton Bay is right between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. While away the summer days on one of the many beaches on offer, or travel to the hinterlands to explore the lush national parks. Whether you love breathtaking swimming holes or prefer hole-in-the-wall restaurants, Moreton Bay has what you’re looking for.

If you’ve been searching for over 50’s* villas for sale in Bribie Island, we have a location you need to explore. The Orianna community is in Sandstone Point, just a short drive from the famous Bribie Island on Moreton Bay. Discover the pristine beaches and laid-back island lifestyle. Closer to home, the community itself has a pool, gym, club house, bowling green, and much more. Make friends with like-minded residents and try your hand at some darts or billiards. When you’re keen to head into town, a community bus makes your commute even easier.

Pack up the car—we’re heading north to discover the beauty of the Glass House Mountains. If you’re looking for year-round warmer weather but are more of a nature lover than a beachcomber, a home in the Glass House Mountains might be right for you. Packed with foodie spots and spectacular waterholes, the star of the show has to be the walking trails. Providing unbelievable views, this region is ideal for hiking, walking, and taking in the scenery.

The Twin Cedars community Beerburrum is surrounded by stunning hinterlands, and is just a few minutes from the Glass House Mountains national park. Golf lovers will enjoy the local courses, while fans of fishing will be impressed by nearby Lake Baroon. Once you’re done enjoying the great outdoors for the day, the amenities at Twin Cedars are ready to stimulate your mind. From a zen garden to a woodworking shed, there are so many hobbies you can take up or refine. On rainy days, the indoor gym and billiards room will help keep you active in comfort.

An iconic holiday spot for a reason, our downsizers love the Sunshine Coast. Great for exploring, this region is famous for its natural wonders. From hiking trails and everglades to mountains and some of the best beaches in Australia, this area has so much to offer. Getting you close to Noosa without the hefty Noosa price tag, this region attracts anyone looking to lay on the beach or enjoy a cocktail with a view.

Maroochy Shores provides resort-style living in the heart of Maroochydore. With a tree-lined pool to cool off in, and plenty of lounges for sunseekers, Maroochy Shores delivers on style. Grill up a snag at the BBQ area and share some laughs with new friends at the community centre. Check out the weekly Maroochydore markets and stock up on local produce — or just browse the jewellery and clothing on offer.

Based in Bli Bli, the Edgewater community is vibrant and social. Work up a sweat playing tennis with your new neighbours, or take it easy with a laid-back game of croquet. There are plenty of indoor amenities to love, too, including a wellness room, library, games room, and craft room. With regular functions and outings, Edgewater has a welcoming, friendly culture.

Hometown’s Sunshine Coast over 50’s* villages put Australia’s best beaches in your backyard.

Dive into the exceptionally blue waters of Hervey Bay. Ideal for avid whale watchers, perfectly located for trips to K’gari (Fraser Island), and boasting a bustling cuisine culture, there’s never a dull day in Hervey Bay. With beautiful beaches and lagoons around every corner, it’s no surprise that many of our residents report having spent summer holidays in this sought-after spot.

We know that boring Hervey Bay retirement villages aren’t what you’re looking for. Instead, get the vacation feeling every day at the Hazelmere community in Eli Waters. Located by the water, the community has a relaxed atmosphere, while keeping you close to town. Make the most of the warm weather and swim laps in the pool or unwind in the spa. Ready to hit some balls? Hazelmere has a bowling green for sunny days and a pool table for the dreary ones. Plus, with a community library, you’ll always have something new to read.

Whether you want a seachange or a treechange, Hometown has a stunning location for your next home. Thanks to our communities in premier regions, downsizing has never been more beautiful. With plenty of two-bedroom and multi-use room floorplans on offer, there’s space for your friends and family to stay. When your new home is in Moreton Bay or Maroochydore, it’s hard to find time when they don’t want to visit!
