Retire in style at Maryville Courts
Maryville Courts Retirement Village has been making life easier for retirees for almost 36 years. The ethos of the village, to provide security, companionship and affordable housing to retirees, is as strong today as it was at the beginning.
Maryville continues to be a thriving, independent community with 65 villas and apartments, offering residents the convenience of inner-city living without the price tag.
It is attracting younger retirees who see the merits of downsizing into a retirement village, potentially freeing up some capital as they rid themselves of the maintenance of a larger home. They appreciate the extra time – time, that most important of assets! – to pursue and continue an active retirement.
They also recognise the peace of mind it affords their children, who know their parents have a maintenance-free lifestyle, more security and staff on hand should help be needed.
The decision to move to a retirement community is something many retirees are considering and it is perhaps one of the most important decisions they will make.
Maryville recognises this and adopts a ‘‘don’t rush, in your own time’’ approach, encouraging would-be residents to visit on several occasions, perhaps meet some of the residents or attend a happy hour, before making a final decision.
Manager Suzanne Reynen says creating a strong sense of community is a priority at Maryville Courts, as is fostering a strong rapport between management and the residents.
‘‘We have welcomed many new residents over the years, all of whom have immediately added something to the village – their sense of humour, their style, their varied interests – and who, in turn, have enjoyed the many aspects of the village,’’ she says.
Currently the village is almost half way through recladding and painting the villas and community centre.
‘‘It’s important to refresh the villas and to maintain our high standards of accommodation and presentation,’’ Suzanne says.
So, if you are over 65 and thinking of downsizing, you might consider a visit to Maryville Courts.
