Enjoying a quiet garden outlook, this ground-floor apartment combines privacy and tranquillity with easy access to the heart of the village.
Recently refreshed throughout, the home feels neat, comfortable, and ready to enjoy. The generous living area provides plenty of room to relax, with garden views bringing a touch of greenery to your day. The bedroom sits comfortably alongside a well-appointed bathroom, creating a practical layout that is easy to move through. With an external entrance and the village centre and atrium nearby, daily life feels simple and connected.
Assisted living in a serviced apartment gives you more time to embrace the things that bring you joy, while we take care of your housekeeping, home maintenance, a daily chef-prepared meal and more! Better yet, serviced apartments are located in the heart of our village communities, so every day brings opportunities to connect with others and enjoy the amenities and activities.
Essie Summers Village offers the perfect balance of city-fringe living and suburban calm - with just a short, flat stroll from the South Library and the peaceful banks of the Heathcote River. For daily convenience, the Beckenham Central shops are right on your doorstep, as well as excellent public transport links along Colombo Street. Explore the nearby Victoria Park, renowned for its beautifully planted gardens and extensive forest walking tracks with panoramic views. Combining a friendly village community with easy access to essential amenities and scenic river walks, this is the perfect spot for a retirement.

Mythbusting - Retirement Villages are a rip-off
Why it’s considered a worthwhile investment.
NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who 'buy' into a retirement village. If you intend to 'purchase' you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
