Downsizing can be a difficult decision to make. Fundamentally, it’s about buying a more manageable home, but it’s also about finding a place that matches the lifestyle you want now and that will suit your needs for years to come.

Here are some of our top tips for downsizing in style at Fletcher’s Slip.

1. Minimise maintenance

Life after downsizing is meant to be relaxing. Cutting down on maintenance-intensive activities is one of the most important factors. A smaller home takes less time and effort to clean and maintain, meaning you will have more time for leisure activities and spending time with family and friends.

This is why the carefully considered, low maintenance townhomes and apartments at Fletcher’s Slip are appealing to those looking to downsize.

2. Location. Location. Location.

When downsizing, it is important to consider finding a place in a convenient location with amenities that will suit your needs. One of the biggest benefits of downsizing at Fletcher’s Slip is the close proximity to everyday amenities.

At Fletcher’s Slip you are perfectly positioned between the best of Port Adelaide and Semaphore – between harbour and the sea. Port Adelaide Plaza is a short 6-minute drive away and offers a great selection of food and retail outlets, including Aldi, Coles and Kmart. Just a brief walk from home in Fletcher’s Slip you will also find the charming Semaphore. With an eclectic seaside and unique cafes, you’ll discover interesting shops and artisans.

3.  Find a community, not just a home

Of course, it is not just about the activities and amenities in your area. Finding a great community also makes a big difference to your sense of safety and security. The growing community of Fletcher’s Slip is home to a truly diverse and inclusive community, for all ages and lifestyles. You will love being a part of this harbourside haven.

4. Lock up and leave lifestyle

If you’re an avid traveler, then downsizing to an apartment is a no brainer. Having a large home can often be a burden when getting ready to travel out of town. There is always a check list of tasks to tick off before leaving, from ensuring security systems are monitored, doors and windows are locked, to setting timers for lighting or even organising a family member or friend to house sit.

Downsizing to an apartment provides you with the ultimate lock up and leave lifestyle. All apartments at Fletcher’s Slip are secure, allowing you to enjoy your time away stress-free.

5. Look for great views

An excellent outlook takes life to the next level. Live the coastal lifestyle at Fletcher’s Slip, nestled between the harbour and sea with stunning views and vibrant, rich sunsets. Enjoy a connection to the water, with every home thoughtfully located to make the most of the proximity to the water's edge, whilst maximising views towards Hart's Mill and beyond. In addition to water access right on your doorstep, Fletcher's Slip offers a variety of parks and public open spaces located only a stone’s throw from your front door. 

Downsizing to a Fletcher’s Slip townhome or apartment represents a life without compromise.
