Sunshine Coast retirement village, the picturesque Halcyon Lakeside, has welcomed new residents and happily retired couple Ken Day and Sylvia Lewis - former residents of five-star over 50’s community, Vision by Halcyon.
Whilst the couple are committed to the Halcyon lifestyle, upgrading and downsizing their former waterfront Halcyon home meant they could enjoy the gated community features of Halcyon Lakeside, which includes 24/7 monitored security cameras providing homeowners the freedom of an enviable lock up and go lifestyle.
“We really like the Halcyon brand and the community spirit and lifestyle offering that comes with buying a home at Halcyon,” Ms Lewis said.
“We’ve met so many people and made lifelong friendships at Vision and we are so excited to do it all over again at Lakeside.”
Their first Halcyon home offered instant accessibility to boating activities, though as the couple's’ lifestyle preferences changed, their lawn bowling hobby soon became a main benefit of choosing to move to Halcyon Lakeside, with its on site state-of-the-art lawn bowling facility.
The move to Halcyon Lakeside has come with an added bonus for the couple who achieved a handsome capital gain from the sale of their Vision by Halcyon home.
“Moving to Lakeside worked out great for us financially and we are looking forward to settling into our new lifestyle in this vibrant community,” Mr Day said.
“We’ve now got a larger home and were also able to put some money in the bank for holidays.”
The couple was drawn to Halcyon’s home ownership financial protection framework where Halcyon homeowners have the peace of mind that when buying a home at Halcyon communities there are no hidden costs, no exit fees, no deferred management fees, sinking funds or capital replacement fees and homeowners are free to sell their home at any time.
“The fact that Halcyon’s communities don’t have an exit fee was a major drawcard for us, and we definitely wouldn’t consider living in any community without the safety of no exit fees,” Mr Day said.
“There isn’t anywhere quite like Halcyon. We have loved our life at Vision by Halcyon and now we can’t wait for this new chapter at Lakeside,” Mr Day continued.
