RetireAustralia has retirement communities across six regions in NSW:

• Sydney: 3 communities: Queens Park (Waverley), Belrose Country Club (Northern Beaches) and Bramblewood (Normanhurst).
• Central Coast: 5 communities: Tarragal Glen and Wood Glen (both near Erina), Glengara and Glengara Care (Tumbi Umbi) and Forresters Beach.
• Coffs Harbour: Boambee Gardens, set in award-winning gardens near Sawtell village and beaches.
• Armidale: Newling Gardens, a 79-home community in the heart of the New England region.
• Wagga Wagga: Riverina Gums, offering independent living and serviced apartments in the Riverina.
• Albury: Murray Gardens, a well-established village overlooking the East Albury Reserve.

Whether you’re looking for city living, coastal lifestyle or a relaxed regional setting, there’s a community across NSW to suit.

Across NSW, RetireAustralia offers independent living villas, independent living apartments, serviced apartments and care apartments, depending on the community:

• Modern apartments: Tarragal Glen on the Central Coast has 42 new architecturally designed apartments, and Wood Glen offers The Rise with 58 luxury apartments.
• Independent living villas and units: Available across most NSW villages, typically 1 to 3-bedroom single-level homes with open-plan layouts and private outdoor areas.
• Serviced apartments: Purpose-built for residents who want independent living with a little more day-to-day support. Available at several villages including Queens Park, Bramblewood, Belrose Country Club, Murray Gardens and Riverina Gums.
• Care apartments: Glengara Care on the Central Coast offers 70 spacious care apartments with nurse-led care, a premium alternative to traditional aged care.

Availability varies by village, so check the page for your preferred community or get in touch directly.

RetireAustralia villages are not available for rental. Most NSW communities operate under a leasehold model, where you pay an entry contribution for the right to live in your home under a long-term lease. 

Two Sydney villages (Belrose Country Club and Bramblewood) offer freehold strata title, where you own your home outright. Both models provide long-term security of tenure rather than a rental arrangement.

Pets are welcome at the majority of RetireAustralia’s retirement villages across NSW. Most homes come with private courtyards or gardens, and RetireAustralia considers pets part of the family. Some guidelines apply around the types of pets suited to village life, so it’s worth checking with your preferred community for the specifics.

RetireAustralia’s NSW retirement villages are generally designed for people aged 55 and over, though some communities may have different minimum age requirements. If you’re moving in as a couple, at least one person will generally need to meet the minimum age criteria. Contact your preferred village to confirm the specific eligibility requirements.

Yes. On the Central Coast, Tarragal Glen recently completed a major expansion, adding 42 brand-new 1 and 2-bedroom independent living apartments, bringing the village to 479 homes total. 

Wood Glen in Erina is also home to The Rise, the Central Coast’s first vertical retirement living development, offering luxury 2 and 3-bedroom apartments across two buildings. Both are great options if you’re looking for something modern within an established, well-connected community close to Erina Fair.
