Reaching your 50s and beyond is a milestone worth celebrating. It’s a time when many people start thinking about simplifying life, focusing on well-being, and making space for more of what brings them joy. Whether you’re still working, semi-retired or just thinking of your future, it’s only natural to want a home that reflects where you are in life—and where you want to go next.

Here are seven signs an over 50’s lifestyle resort like Solana could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

1. You’re Ready to Leave the Maintenance Behind

Are household tasks like mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool, or finding tradies taking up too much of your time and energy? You’re not alone. For many, these responsibilities feel like a barrier to truly enjoying life.

Solana’s homes are designed with low-maintenance living in mind, giving you the freedom to focus on what matters most. With lawns, gardens, pools and shared spaces cared for by our team and homes built for easy upkeep, you’ll have more time to embrace the lifestyle you deserve.

2. You’re Looking for Real Connection Without Sacrificing Privacy

Moving somewhere new often brings concerns about feeling isolated. At Solana, we’ve created a resort-style community where connection comes naturally. You can join in as much as you want—whether it’s at a BBQ, a craft group, or a stroll to the Livewell Centre—and retreat to the privacy of your own home whenever you need quiet time.

Solana offers plenty of green spaces and thoughtfully planned homes that prioritise your privacy. With no shared alfresco walls, your outdoor space is truly yours to enjoy.

3. You Want to Stay Active, but Close to Home

If getting to the gym feels like a hassle, or you miss the motivation of group activities, this is where Solana really shines. The Livewell Centres are designed to make movement and wellbeing part of everyday life. Think resort-style pools, gyms, tennis courts, bowls greens and more—all just steps from your front door.

It’s easy to start the day with a swim, walk, or a game of tennis, then enjoy a coffee or catch-up with friends—all without needing a car.

4. You’re Ready to Downsize, Not Downgrade

Downsizing doesn’t mean giving things up—it’s about creating more room for the life you want. At Solana, homes are cleverly designed with open-plan layouts, generous alfresco areas, and plenty of storage. You’ll still have space for hobbies, entertaining, and having the grandkids stay over.

There’s no compromise—just homes that feel right-sized and easy to live in.

5. You’d Prefer a Financial Model That Makes Sense

Solana’s land lease model keeps things simple. There’s no stamp duty, no entry or exit fees, no council rates, and no strata fees. Plus, if you’re eligible, you can receive government rental assistance on the site fees.

You keep your capital gains and stay in control of your home. It’s a model designed for peace of mind and keeping your legacy for your family.

6. You Dream of Travelling Without Worry

Many Solana residents are active travellers who love the freedom of a “lock-up and leave” lifestyle. Whether you’re off in the caravan or visiting family interstate, you can leave knowing your home is secure in a gated community, with onsite management always nearby.

It’s one of the big reasons travellers are choosing Solana as their home base—freedom to roam, with a warm welcome waiting when you return.

7. You’re Looking for a Lifestyle, Not Just a Place to Live

At this stage in life, your home should give you more than just a roof over your head—it should offer a lifestyle that lifts you up. Solana’s locations are hand-picked for their natural charm, coastal convenience, and access to everything you need close by: shops, cafés, medical centres, green spaces, and friendly faces.

You’re not just buying a home—you’re stepping into a new life. One that’s easier, more social, more supported, and filled with opportunities to do more of what you love.

Is It Time?

If you’re nodding along to any of these signs, there’s a good chance that a Solana Lifestyle Resort could be your next best step. Whether you’re after connection, comfort, or simply a fresh start in a beautiful place—Solana was made for real living, in every sense of the word.
