The days of retiring quietly are long gone and retirement living can offer some serious lifestyle benefits. Brand new apartments and impressive facilities are one thing, but seniors also want to live in a secure environment, in a community of like-minded individuals. With 90 luxurious apartments over six levels in vibrant Bundoora, Callisto Place offers all this and more.

Enter the building and you’re greeted by a series of stunning shared spaces designed for connected living and fun times with family or new friends. There’s also an artfully designed residents’ lounge, state-of-the-art gym, residents’ bar and dining room. A scholarly library and comfy cinema are perfect for a quiet night in. For some more challenging fun, the games room with billiard table awaits. There are plenty of shared spaces for residents to build friendships and enjoy new experiences without even leaving home.

When it’s time to go out (and you may not want to!), Callisto Place is part of a surrounding community in Polaris, Bundoora that’s vibrant and bustling with life. Right in the heart of Melbourne’s ‘university town’ adjoining La Trobe University and next to the RMIT campus. The area has a youthful vibe that’s perfect for retirees who are ready to retire from work, but not life. There are numerous dining, café and shopping options including Woolworths, Dan Murphy’s and many other stores just a short stroll away. Take an exploratory walk, and you’re surrounded by diverse residential architecture including contemporary and heritage designs and sustainable, connected living.

Retirement living in a place like this has many benefits, from the joys of minimal maintenance and ‘lock up and leave’, to the safety and security of communal living. Day to day living is that bit easier, with a friendly concierge on hand and access to the Home and Community Support team from Bolton Clarke for domestic, personal or healthcare services as needed. And at the end of a fun-filled trip or a day out with family and friends, residents can simply drive in, hop in the lift and go straight to their private sanctuary.
