Earlier in June, Victorian retirement village operator Lifestyle Communities achieved a significant milestone within their new Berwick Waters estate, with their first resident officially moving in.

Philip Borg is already three and a half years into his retirement, and decided to make a leisurely change after 15 years enjoying inner city life in a St. Kilda Road apartment.

The village’s appeal of space and community was a major factor to Philip when making his choice of retirement village. As a frequent traveller, he also found the security of the village particularly comforting, and felt confident leaving his new home in the care of the Lifestyle Communities team whenever he travelled to visit family abroad.

Philip was also highly pleased with the simple and straightforward buying and moving process. “The process has been quite simple. I especially loved getting those 3 to 4 progress photos of my home being built, I think that’s excellent service. Dealing with the team has been a pleasure.”
