Retirement is a time to relax and enjoy the next phase of your life. However, choosing your perfect retirement home can be daunting. These days, many people prefer moving to a modern-day retirement estate, but knowing what to look for is essential when deciding on your ideal retirement home. This includes location, amenities, property type, home maintenance, cost of living, healthcare, safety, and lifestyle. In this handy guide, we’ll explore these factors in-depth to help you make an informed decision.
One of the most important things to consider is the location and proximity to basic amenities, such as healthcare facilities, shopping centres, and recreational activities. Being close to family and friends is also crucial for many people. If you want to be close to your family in Johannesburg, then Celebration Retirement Estate, located in North Riding, across the road from Northgate Mall, is wonderfully central and close enough to multiple highways to provide easy access to the estate. Various private hospitals are nearby, and Eagle Canyon Country Club, Randburg Bowls Club and Bryanston Sports Club are all less than five kilometres away.
Knowing what to look for in a retirement estate’s facilities and amenities is essential. There are some excellent retirement options on the market, but Celebration Retirement Estate is the cream of the crop because our on-site amenities and services ensure your comfort, convenience and relaxation.
