How moving to Applewood will help you achieve your New Year’s resolutions
Throughout the month of January, people all across the world write down a list of goals to work towards throughout the year. These New Year’s resolutions often fall within the categories of health, wealth and lifestyle. According to research, many resolutions are abandoned within the first six weeks of starting and are often repeated year after year.
Whether you’d like to improve your health, set off on bigger holidays or downsize and declutter in 2023, we want to help you succeed in ticking off your New Year’s resolutions. Here’s how you can achieve them by making the move to Applewood.
Improve your health and wellness
Applewood residents have a range of cutting-edge fitness facilities on their doorstep, which makes living an active life that much easier.

Plus, surrounded by expansive gardens and walking trails, it’s so easy to keep moving at your own pace.

Experience bigger and better adventures
How long have you been planning (and putting off) your holiday of a lifetime? Many over 50s desire a lifestyle that’s filled with longer and more frequent holidays, but put this dream on hold for one reason or another.
By selling your larger family home and downsizing to a secure, gated community, you’ll have the freedom and peace of mind to travel as frequently as you please. Plus, with like-minded neighbours and community managers close by and landscapers to take care of your front gardens, you’ll never worry about the safety of your home while you’re away, or extensive garden maintenance when you come home.
Step out of your comfort zone and meet new people
As you begin to plan your next chapter, you may be on a mission to expand your social circle to include like-minded people at a similar stage, challenge yourself to try some new hobbies or activities, or generally step outside your comfort zone in a social sense.
Our residents will often attest that moving to Applewood has enriched their social lives and invigorated their daily lifestyles in a range of ways.
Whether you choose to partake in group activities, take weekly walks with friends, go on social outings with your fellow residents, join in on happy hour or simply enjoy the company of a friendly neighbour, there are so many opportunities to try new things and elevate your social life at Applewood.
Spend more time doing the things you love
Want to spend less time maintaining and upkeeping your home and garden and more time doing the things you really love? Since moving to Applewood, many of our residents find that they have more time to live life to the fullest, as well as access to resort-style facilities at their fingertips.
Your modern, refurbished villa or apartment will take less time to clean and won’t require much maintenance. This means you can swap out all those hours of cleaning and fixing up with time spent outdoors, with your grandchildren, family and friends, embarking on new adventures or hitting up the many activities in the Community Centre.

You’ve been working hard all your life and now’s the time to enjoy some you time. From community events and BBQs, to movie nights, games nights, exercise classes, excursions, happy hour and more, there’s so much fun to get involved in – if you choose to.
Declutter and downsize
If you’ve been putting off your household declutter for years, downsizing your home and moving to a retirement village really helps you to tackle this task head-on. Of course, downsizing your belongings is an emotional process that requires time and patience, but it’s extremely rewarding and liberating to let go of unused items and only keep with you the things that bring you joy.
The best part – you don’t have to do it alone thanks to services like Classic Moves, who can support you throughout the entire downsizing, packing and relocating process.
