The lifestyle resorts for singles around 50 are gaining popularity in Australia as more people recognize the value of social connection and community together with the maintenance of their independence.
Modern and low maintenance houses combined with resort -style facilities are creating a convincing alternative to traditional housing.
They also provide opportunities for the social connection in a support environment: a large drawing card for singles on 50 that seek to improve their quality of life and improve their general health.
A recent Oxford Economics Australia report found that the demand for retirement communities has grown over the years, promoted by developers who present the luxury lifestyle offers and a growing awareness of the negative impacts of social isolation.
From 2006 to 2021, the number of people living in retirement communities almost doubled, and occupation rates increased to 95% in 2023.
Although traditional retirement communities remain popular, lifestyle resorts such as Aliria On Dean are emerging as a contemporary option that offers more flexibility and independence, and one that attracts a younger population group of owners who seek to actively enjoy.
Andrew Coulter, director of Aliria-A Developer of lifestyle resorts for over 50 years, backed by a team with decades of experience in the land lease that they attend that they considered the needs of the singles around 50 in Aliria in Aliria.
“We know that for many singles, as special, those who transition to a new phase of life after loss or separation, finding a place that feels safe and cozy is essential,” he says.
“Aliria On Dean is designed to sacrifice a new beginning, one that does not compromise independence, but pretends residents with connection opportunities, activity and a sense of belonging.
“When many communities are designed with couples in mind, we have consciously created a space that supports a broader spectrum or life experiences.
“About 30% of our buyers so far are single women, and we are also seeing a strong interest of single men.”

New beginning, shared connections
After the death of her husband last year, Carry Lee, 69, made the decision to reduce her great family home in an acre of land to a more manageable and safe lifestyle in Aliria over Dean.
Looking for a new beginning, he was attracted to the new villas, without entry or exit rates, complete retention of capital gains and proximity to friends, medical services and shopping centers.
“Moving to a closed community means that I won to worry about gardening or pool cleaning,” she says.
“It will give me more time to do my sewing projects and more security that allows me to travel.”
She sees the weekly rental of $ 205 as a fair trade for the ease of maintenance and lifestyle benefits.
“It is comparable to what I was paying in my old property when it takes into account the additional costs that I no longer have,” she says.
Initially doubting to live in a nearby community, Lee found Redsurance after spending time in the complex of over 50 years of his mother, he realizes that he could be the best of both worlds.
“Once you are inside your own home, you don’t see or listen to others living nearby,” she says.
“At the same time, I am anxious to meet other people with related ideas that can even share some of my interests.”
Residents such as Carry Lee enjoy the community, convenience and independence offered by lifestyle resorts.

More than a home: a place to belong
The community is in the heart of Aliria’s philosophy about Dean.
“From the beginning, we design shared spaces that naturally unite people,” Coulter explains.
“It is not just infrastructure; it is the lifestyle that flows from it.”
This approach promoted by residents means that activities grow organically with the community that creates a lifestyle that is formed by those who live it.
“The residents themselves form interest -based clubs or carry out a variety of simple casual activities or meetings, which give residents as much or little social interaction as they want,” says Coulter.
“They are moments of thesis, simple, genuine and not planned, but build real relationships and make the community feel at home.”
