A lifestyle community housing estate resident is rapt with his new property.
Bruce Ealam, who moved into Lifestyle Deanside’s newest community positioned close to Caroline Springs and Taylors Lakes, said his house is everything he has ticked all the boxes.
“I wanted to stay in the locality, I wanted to retain my existing friendships and things like the doctor, dentist and the connection to my walking groups,” he said.
“It was exactly what I wanted, it was right for me.”
The 68-year-old moved into a two bedroom corner block home in June.
The lifestyle community includes a clubhouse with accessible outdoor and indoor pool, gym, tennis courts, bowling green and a cinema.
Mr Ealam said the additional features of a communal kitchen, lounge and dining room are naturally amenable to making friends.
“It has brought us all together. I could go there now, and someone would be there having a cup of tea and you can just talk,” he said.
“It’s given me another avenue of friendship. I’ll have friends here for the rest of my life.
“You can be involved 110 per cent or you can just say hello in the street and go about your own business.
“As a community, we’re still young and growing and that’s exciting,” he said.
“But it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I’m so glad I made the decision to come here.”
Lifestyle Deanside is at 21 Mushu Street, Deanside.
