Lifestyle Ocean Grove will be built as part of the Kingston Ocean Grove estate, 25km from Geelong, and will feature 193 homes and resort-style facilities.

The private operator secured the Kingston site, which is located next to a shopping centre, for $12.6M back in May.

Unlike traditional retirement villages where 70% of new residents are couples, Managing Director James Kelly said 45% of their customers are single women, with 5% single men and the rest couples.

Lifestyle Communities now has 13 sites across VIC with over 1,800 homeowners.
