One of the best benefits of downsizing in retirement is that it presents an opportunity to embark on a new chapter. You can choose or create a new home tailored to your preferred retirement lifestyle. Retirement is about living life to the fullest and spending time doing the things you love. So, Red Deer Village have worked hard to create an environment that allows our residents to enjoy a slower pace of life. Unlike care homes and other retirement facilities, moving to a retirement village does not mean losing your independence. On the contrary, residents at Red Deer Village can enjoy an active social life and a range of activities and events throughout the year. Check out some of the benefits of downsizing in your retirement or once you reach an older age below.

A Fresh Start to your Retirement

It’s a New Year. You may be thinking that it’s time to change things up in your life in your life, and a new residential park home might be just it. Red Deer Village in Stepps is just a short distance from the bustling City Centre of Glasgow, Scotland. With our immaculate surroundings and well maintained grounds, this could be the fresh start you desire. Red Deer Village have a variety of park homes for sale for the over 50’s community to suit many different visions and styles. The concept of park home living in a community of like-minded neighbours may also be new, but may take your fancy when considering your retirement options.

Less Maintenance

With a smaller home comes the advantage of less grounds to maintain and less space to keep clean and tidy. Our residential park homes come with low maintenance gardens and a driveway. Fully landscaped exteriors take the effort out of a large garden to look after, and so ensure they remain as stunning as the interior.

Increased Accessibility

Perhaps you are looking for a home which allows you more freedom of movement. For a lot of people, stairs can become an issue. As all of our homes are on one level, this gives increased accessibility for our residents. You could customise your park home by eliminating the steps completely, and adding ramps or railings.

More Time

With fewer rooms and smaller spaces, you’ll spend less time cleaning and maintaining your downsized home. That means you’ll be able to spend more time on hobbies, seeing family, travelling or just plain resting. At Red Deer Village we have a lovely resident’s hub, where you can enjoy a tea or coffee by the warm fire. It’s also home to our events, including coffee mornings, cheese and wine nights and knitting bees. The over 50’s park also have a courtesy shuttle bus, with regular shopping trips and days out. What’s not to love in having more free time to spends doing what you love?
