6 top tips for downsizing in style at Glenside

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 six of our top tips for downsizing in style at Glenside.

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 Glenside’s carefully considered, low maintenance apartments and townhomes 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 to a Glenside apartment or townhome is the close proximity to everyday amenities.

Just a short stroll from Glenside, you will find Frewville Foodland, the ‘world’s best’ supermarket. Also, conveniently located a few minutes away are a handful of Adelaide’s best shopping precincts Burnside Village, Norwood Parade, King William Road, and the city.

3. Find a community, not just a home

Of course, it’s 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 moment you set foot into Glenside you feel a sense of belonging. Glenside is home to a truly diverse and inclusive community, for all ages and lifestyles. You will love your life in the elegant east!

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 Glenside apartments 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. The luxuriously appointed apartments at Glenside are fantastic examples of well-thought-out locations and are no short of stunning views. All apartments are privileged with views of the striking historic buildings, majestic parklands and the hills or beach beyond. Downsizing to a Glenside apartment represents a life without compromise.
