"We're loving our new lifestyle"

John and Veronica first visited Remuera Gardens in 2023, while The Avenue Apartments were still under construction—and it was love at first sight.

"We were shown the floor plans for The Avenue Apartments and took these home to discuss. It didn’t take long for us to become excited and feel that this was exactly what we were looking for – a contemporary design, spacious bedrooms and living areas, large windows letting in light and sun, high-spec construction, and a full kitchen that even accommodates a large double-door fridge!"

Located in the sought-after suburb of Remuera, The Avenue Apartments offer a modern and inviting retirement community designed with comfort, style, and convenience in mind. With generously sized layouts—some of the largest in Remuera, up to 163sqm—these apartments blend contemporary design with the warmth of truly comfortable living.

John and Veronica were so impressed by the floor plans, they didn’t think twice: ""We made a return visit to Remuera Gardens and, in no time at all, were signing up and paying a deposit! As soon as construction was completed in February 2025, we were the first residents to move in."

John and Veronica are now enjoying the fantastic facilities The Avenue offers—like the Pavilion, a vibrant community hub where they can relax with a cup of tea (or a wine!) alongside their newfound friends. "We continue to enjoy our life outside the Village but now also have other options like playing 500 on a Wednesday night, Friday evening happy hour, bowls on the new bowling green, making new friends, and all the while knowing that if we ever need help or support, the Village provides all that. The fellow residents have been very welcoming as we have joined into groups."

The Avenue Apartments offer elevated 360-degree views of Remuera, best enjoyed from private balconies. Residents have access to a remarkable array of facilities, including a bowling green, cinema, heated indoor pool, spa, gym, and beautifully maintained gardens. Whether it’s catching a film, joining a fitness class, or simply enjoying a stroll among the flowers, there are countless ways to stay active and engaged.

John and Veronica have fully embraced the Remuera Gardens lifestyle—and they couldn't be happier with their decision. "We have never looked back and are loving our new lifestyle in our independent apartment. No more concerns about home maintenance, security, or what the garden will look like when we return from a holiday. The management and staff have been helpful and accommodating, making the shift stress-free."

If you would like to know more about The Avenue Apartments, nothing beats an in-person visit. Fiona (027 436 5442) and Lyn (021 845 524) are available to offer personalised tours and answer any questions.
