Embracing Independence: Single Life in an Over 50s Community

In recent years, over 50s land lease living communities have become an increasingly popular choice for retirees seeking a serene and secure living environment. While these communities often attract couples, they can also be an excellent choice for single women looking to embrace independence and enjoy a fulfilling life.

Living in a Hometown community, such as Orianna at Moreton Bay, Qld, offers homeowners access to beautifully designed amenities specifically tailored to encourage social interaction and engagement including a swimming pool, gym, cinema and clubhouse.

Over 150 homeowners live at Orianna, comprising of a mix of couples, single men and women who enjoy socialising together and in groups. From shared recreational spaces to organised social events and activities, the community becomes a vibrant hub of companionship and support, the perfect environment for single people to connect with others to form lasting friendships.

Orianna’s Single Ladies Group enjoy participating in community activities on offer including line dancing, water aerobics classes, lawn bowls and craft groups. The ladies make good use of the Orianna community bus for outings to lunches at Charlies on Bribie Island and day trips to Maleny. They also attend various shows at QPAC or Kedron-Wavell RSL and are looking forward to seeing the Neil Diamond Show at the Redcliffe Entertainment Centre.

Three members of the Ladies’ Group have just returned from a three-day trip to Yulara Resort at Uluru and had a wonderful time. The group also recently held a special high tea in the recreational hall as a welcome to new members of their Orianna group.

Living independently in a retirement community like Orianna offers single homeowners the opportunity to live an enriched and comfortable lifestyle with friendship, security and a sense of community.
