Tucked away in the quiet streets of Roxburgh Park, Bridgewater Lake Retirement Estate is a friendly, garden-filled neighbourhood where community comes first.
Wandering through the estate, it is hard not to notice the little things: the winding walking trails, the bowls green where laughter echoes during a morning match, or the resident café serving up a Devonshire tea.
The homes here, ranging from one to three bedrooms, are designed for low-maintenance living but feel warm and lived-in, many with private gardens that look out onto tranquil lakes or leafy nooks.
It is not unusual to find residents chatting over coffee at Club Bridgewater or pottering in the community garden. There is a natural rhythm to life, relaxed but active, social but easy going.
This August, the village is opening its doors to the wider community with two events that capture its creative and community spirit.
The first is a lively Bingo Morning on Tuesday 5 August, hosted by 3AW personality David Mann. It runs from 9:30am to noon and includes complimentary morning tea and prizes. It is a fantastic way to meet some of the residents and see the village in action.
Later in the month, the Bridgewater Lake Art Show returns on Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 August, from 10am to 3pm. This much-loved event features artworks from local and resident artists.
Both events will be located at 9 Wedgewood Road, Roxburgh Park.
