Over 50s live life well

In a land lease community, you own your home outright and lease the land it sits on. One weekly site fee covers the lease of the land on which your home sits, upkeep of shared spaces, and access to community amenities such as a pool, gym, and clubhouse. Read more.

No entry fees, no exit fees, and no stamp duty. When you sell, you keep 100% of any capital gain.*

We are not an aged care facility or a retirement village. Lincoln Place communities provide fully independent living, allowing those over 50 to downsize and live life well on their own terms. Read more about the Lincoln Lifestyle.

Retirement villages usually involve ingoing contributions and deferred management fees. At Lincoln Place, you own your home outright, pay one simple site fee, and keep your capital gain in most communities.

If independence matters to you, yes. You own your home, run your own day-to-day, and choose how involved you want to be in community life.

Most communities don’t charge any deferred management fees. The exceptions are Officer Lifestyle Estate and Lincoln Lifestyle Kangaroo Flat. Contact us and one of our New Home Advisor can explain the details.

Good question! Lifestyle estate and lifestyle village (or lifestyle community) are simply naming conventions. The land lease model, home ownership and fees largely stay the same across both, though this can vary by operator. At Lincoln Place, that means no hidden costs like deferred management fees, which are often found in traditional retirement villages.

There’s no stamp duty. No entry or exit fees at most communities. That means you keep 100% of your capital gain when you sell. You simply pay one weekly site fee, covering the lease of your home’s land and access to community amenities. You may also be eligible for Commonwealth Rent Assistance. Many residents save over time too, with lower utility bills, no council rates, and a smaller home that’s cheaper to run.
