All over the world developers and architects are changing the way they design homes, so they will work well for people at every stage of their lives. When this trend is introduced into a contemporary retirement village, an environment is created that both celebrates a love of life and also caters to the need to slow down and relax in a supportive community as time goes by.

The newly completed Summerset by the Park retirement village, overlooking Barry Curtis Park in Manukau City, takes this concept to heart. Developed by Summerset Retirement Villages, which has a string of successful villages behind it, Summerset by the Park is the first retirement village in the country to earn the Lifemark seal of approval, an achievement the company is very proud of, says CEO Norah Barlow.

"The Lifemark award demonstrates our commitment to design excellence for our customers," says Barlow. "Our residents can grow old in their home, knowing it can be adapted to their changing needs over time."

Summerset's focus is on providing a warm welcome home for its middle-New Zealand customer base, and Summerset by the Park is no exception. The Main Building offers affordable quality and more, with communal spaces, gardens, a central cafe, villas and apartments, all in a modern facility. Every aspect of the complex is closely considered to make it an attractive lifestyle investment that follows through on the promise to create a truly welcoming home.
