Just an hour’s drive on the M1 from the North Shore of Sydney, you’ll never be far away from the familiar delights of city living. You’ll get the best of both worlds, free to dip in and out as you please, with the beauty and serenity of Catalina Lake Macquarie beckoning you back when you’ve had your fill of the bustling Sydney metropolis.

Retirement Living Just Outside of Sydney Without Compromise

Are you a senior currently living in Sydney and considering a downsizing move, but you wish to remain in close proximity of family and friends? You can still achieve this while escaping the hustle and bustle, not to mention price tag, of city living. Catalina ticks all the boxes as a retirement living option for Sydneysiders who long for that holiday lifestyle.

With resort-style facilities and luxury retirement homes in an award-winning over 55s community, Catalina provides incredible value for money and is a much more affordable alternative to other Sydney retirement villages.

Where once the Central Coast was a preferred retirement destination for downsizers and over 50s, the influx of Sydneysiders seeking retirement homes within easy commute of the city has seen property prices and traffic rise in recent years.

Just above the North Shore of Sydney now lies Catalina near  the picturesque Lake Macquarie, which offers all the aquatic wonders and over 50s living benefits of its neighbours without the traffic congestion and high cost of living.
