Where Happiness Speaks for Itself

It’s true that the best publicity is the happiness of our residents — and nowhere is this truer than at Epsom Village. When people feel happy, supported, and connected, they naturally want to share it with the world. Alongside affordable garden and balcony apartments and an unbeatable location, Epsom Village is built around a strong sense of community, where connection sits at the heart of everyday life. That’s why our residents don’t just live here — they proudly talk about it.

As a proud New Zealand family-owned village, we offer a level of care, warmth, and personal connection that big corporate operators simply can’t replicate. With only 90 residents, Epsom Village is intimate, charming, and distinctive — a place with real character and soul. Our team truly knows residents by name, and goes the extra mile every day to make sure everyone feels seen, valued, and cared for.

Perfectly positioned on peaceful, tree-lined Ranfurly Road, Epsom Village offers the best of both worlds — the buzz of central Auckland just beyond the gates, and the calm of a friendly, established village within.

For resident Karen, Epsom Village’s location is one of its biggest joys — offering city convenience without losing its village feel.

“We are both very happy here — me and my cat! The location is so central and great for getting anywhere around the city. Buses are handy and regular, and Mt Eden, Cornwall Park and Newmarket are all within walking distance. As I enjoy walking, it’s perfect for me. Staff are all great — overall, I couldn’t be happier.”

At Epsom Village, residents can choose from a wide range of thoughtfully designed one- and two-bedroom apartments — from flexible loft layouts and sunny balcony homes with views to Mt St John or Mt Eden, to garden apartments with direct walk-out access to private patios. Each modern, spacious apartment is designed to make the most of every square metre, with options starting from $520,000.

The village also offers an easy lock-and-leave lifestyle, allowing residents to truly relax and leave maintenance worries behind.

As resident Dianne explains:

“I meet friends for brunch every Sunday and can’t help feeling rather smug as they discuss rates, water bills, garden maintenance and replacing lightbulbs — while I enjoy having all of that looked after. The staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful, which I really appreciate.”

Retirement is the perfect time to slow down and truly enjoy the things you love. At Epsom Village, being surrounded by beautiful gardens and green spaces gives residents the opportunity to reconnect with nature and spend more time on their hobbies.

At Epsom Village, residents can choose exactly how involved they want to be. Whether you value quiet independence or enjoy an active social life, there’s a lifestyle here to suit you — and for those who do like to get involved, there’s always something happening.

A full calendar of activities keeps village life vibrant, from themed dinners and garden parties to quiz nights and exercise classes. Thoughtfully designed amenities support comfort and connection, including a residents’ lounge, heated outdoor pool, games room, library, and beautifully maintained gardens. It’s a place where neighbours quickly become friends, and independence is always supported with warmth and care.

For resident Diana, the balance between independence and community is what makes life at Epsom Village so special.

“The grounds and buildings are beautifully cared for, and the pool is a real delight — and often a social centre for barbecues and gatherings. Events are planned for special occasions, and trips out of the village are frequently arranged. Independent living is the keynote here, and it’s clearly respected by all of us as residents.”

At Epsom Village, everything comes together — a warm, family-owned culture, a central yet peaceful location, beautifully designed apartments, and a community that truly cares. It’s a place where independence is respected, friendships grow naturally, and every day can be as relaxed or as lively as you choose.

Whether you’re drawn by the lifestyle, the location, or the people, one thing is certain: Epsom Village is more than just a place to live — it’s a place to belong. And just like our residents, once you experience it for yourself, you’ll want to tell the world too.

Why not come and experience Epsom Village for yourself? We’re hosting Open Days every Thursday from 11am to 2pm throughout February, March and April — a relaxed opportunity to explore the village, view our apartments, and meet the friendly team who make Epsom Village such a special place to live. You’re welcome to just turn up, or feel free to call or email Lyn if you’d prefer to arrange a visit.
