“It was a no brainer": Anastasia’s story

Anastasia's new chapter at Summerset Cranbourne North.

For Anastasia, choosing Summerset Cranbourne North was a decision that felt right from the very beginning. 

After visiting the village for the first time, she returned with her children to take a closer look. The more she saw, the more confident she became. 

"I came in and had a look, came back with my kids, interviewed very well, and loved it. It was a no brainer." 

As a brand-new village, it offered something she valued straight away - homes that feel fresh, bright and beautifully designed, set within a safe community. 

"Summerset is very safe, very secure," she says. 

Today, her beautifully appointed villa is ideally positioned within the village, with easy access to the village centre and all the resort-style facilities. 

Since making the move, Anastasia says life has become simpler, more enjoyable and more fulfilling. 

"Life has changed for the better. It's a very pleasant place to be in, and there's a lot to do. And everything's taken care of." 

With home and garden maintenance taken care of, she has more time to focus on the things she loves, whether that's keeping active, being creative, grabbing a coffee with neighbours or spending time with friends and family. 

"I like doing craft," she says. "The café is my favourite spot; it's the social hub. I love the gym because I like keeping fit." 

One of the biggest changes Anastasia has noticed since moving into the village is the sense of connection that comes from being surrounded by like-minded people. 

"We find new people that have moved in every day, and every day it's good to see them all," she says. "It's very inviting." 

For Anastasia, these everyday interactions have made a meaningful difference. 

"If I stayed at home, I wasn't going to meet anybody. So, personally, it's just good interaction with everybody. And that really can change your life." 

Anastasia is someone who genuinely enjoys helping others, and she has found that spirit reflected throughout the community. 

She believes everyone has a story worth hearing, and village life creates plenty of opportunities to connect with people from different backgrounds and experiences. 

It's this culture of friendliness, support and community that helps make Summerset Cranbourne North feel so special. 

When asked what she would say to someone considering retirement living at Summerset, Anastasia doesn't hesitate. 

"I would invite anybody to come in," she says. "Just do it!" 

Looking around at the life she has built since moving in, it's easy to understand why. 

With a beautiful new home, a welcoming community, modern facilities and the freedom to spend her time doing what she enjoys most, Anastasia feels she has found exactly where she belongs. 

"I love Summerset," she says. "It's absolutely lovely to live here."
