Avington Living: where downsizing makes sense

For many over 50s, the biggest challenge isn’t deciding to downsize – it’s making sense of the options. Retirement villages, aged care, lifestyle resorts… each comes with different rules and fees.

That’s where Avington Living in Point Cook stands out. This welcoming land lease community offers clarity, flexibility and a lifestyle that’s hard to match.

With land lease living, the arrangement is straightforward. You own your home and lease the land beneath it. That means no stamp duty, no council rates and no deferred management or exit fees. When the time comes to sell, your home is your asset, and any capital gain is yours to keep.

Brand new homes at Avington start from just $420,000, allowing downsizers to sell the family home, move into a modern, low-maintenance property, and still unlock valuable equity. That’s more than downsizing – it’s futureproofing.

But the benefits go far beyond financial peace of mind. Avington is a gated community designed for independent over 50s, with resort-style facilities that make every day feel special. It’s a place where neighbours know each other by name and genuine friendships are formed, while privacy is always respected.

“What makes Avington special is that it gives people both lifestyle and peace of mind. Once they realise there are no exit fees and they keep all their capital gains, the decision becomes so much clearer. It’s a simpler, more secure way forward,” says Garry Markham, village manager at Avington.

And location is a big part of the appeal. Set in a quiet pocket of Point Cook, Avington is just minutes from local shops, cafés, health services and the beautiful bayside. It means residents can enjoy the best of both worlds: a secure, welcoming community with easy access to everything they need.

Right now, there’s an added reason to act. For a limited time only, Avington is offering a $20,000 rebate* on new homes, plus the option to delay settlement until 31 January 2026 with just a $3,000 deposit.
