ESPECIALLY FOR SENIORS ADVERTISING FEATURE Wednesday February 12, 2020 THE STAR 10 newcastlestar.com.au Value, facilities and service NEW apartment-style homes for seniors have commenced construction at the well- known retirement village, Sugar Valley Lifestyle Estate. e project, called Sandy Creek, will add a further 60 homes to the already thriving community. e initial release com- prises generously propor- tioned apartment-style two-bedroom homes which offer remarkable value for money. e village has always offered the near-perfect blend of a private, secure, low-maintenance lifestyle combined with a flourishing community atmosphere. "We are now taking this to the next level, offering even more choice in our homes and services," Manager of Sales Gerry Kilby said. "And we believe that, like- for-like, we offer the best value in the region." Sandy Creek homes start from $435,000. e new homes are adjacent to the existing Sugar Valley Golf Course set against the pictur- esque backdrop of Sugarloaf Mountain. e estate is on the border of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, with easy access to the Hunter Valley. It is the last stage in the Sugar Valley development. Retirement living homes should offer a fit-for-purpose environment for the resi- dents. What does this mean? "Well, it is easy to overlook in the design, but residents should be able to enjoy level, step-free access throughout the village and their home," Michaela Endicott, Project Architect at AEH said. "Whereas so many older (and some new) villages have steps and hazards through- out, Sugar Valley and Sandy Creek pay intimate attention to these important details." e estate currently is home to over 230 residents, so when you move to Sandy Creek, you'll be moving to an established and vibrant community. Best of all, Sandy Creek will see the con- struction of a new Welcome Centre that triples the exist- ing community building and facilities. "Over the past few years, the Centre has really taken on a life of its own," Village Manager Warren Brad- shaw said. "We have exercises, craft, snooker, cards, movie nights, BBQ's, lunches, morning teas, bus trips - you name it." e existing Community Centre also houses a library, the hairdressing salon and a podiatrist. e new Welcome Centre will add a café, dining room, pool, gym, concierge, more consulting rooms, new club facilities and more. Sandy Creek at Sugar Val- ley is having an Open Day on ursday, February 20 from 11am to 1pm. To find out more, RSVP to the Open Day or arrange a visit, phone Gerry Kilby on 02 4953 3322, or email gkil- [email protected]. e Village can be found adjacent to the Sugar Valley Golf Club at 30 Teralba Road West Wallsend.
