Market Insights
Retirement apartments in Neutral Bay, Lane Cove, and Chatswood charge $550,000-$950,000 for 2BR units with deferred management fees (DMF) of 25-35%, delivering age-restricted community amenities, healthcare services, and maintenance-free living for 65+ demographics.
Purpose-built retirement villages (Aveo, Stockland, Ingenia) achieve 92-96% occupancy with average residency of 7-12 years, driven by aging population demographics (22% of Australians 65+ by 2030), healthcare proximity, and social activity programming.
Retirement apartment investment for family members delivers 4-6% annual capital growth, underperforming Sydney metro (5-7%), due to DMF structures and age-restriction resale limitations, but provides secure, supported living environments for aging parents/relatives.
