WINNER OF THE 2024 URBAN TASKFORCE AWARD FOR
HIGHLY COMMENDED SENIORS LIVING DEVELOPMENT

Welcome to Jardin

Come and step inside a new sanctuary on Sydney’s Northern Beaches at Jardin Frenchs Forest, where you will find a new form of living for over 55’s.

Unlike many over 55’s communities across the Northern Beaches and Sydney, Jardin is not a retirement village and instead offers a new and innovative way of community living that incorporates the safety, security and social aspects of a retirement village whilst maintaining the independence, control, privacy and financial freedom of living in a residential apartment. 

When you combine this unique form of living, with a stunning luxury apartment and hotel like communal facilities, you will see why nothing else compares to the lifestyle on offer here at Jardin. 

A NEW FORM OF LIVING FOR OVER 55'S

THAT IS NOT A RETIREMENT VILLAGE

At Jardin, we distinguish ourselves from traditional retirement villages and other seniors living communities. Here, you’re not just a resident; you’re a homeowner in a vibrant strata community. Similar to any standard residential property purchase, you buy and own your property outright. The only stipulation is that at least one occupant must be over 55 years old.

As an owner, you pay quarterly strata fees, and you control how your community is managed unlike in a retirement village where you pay monthly service fees, and the operator decides how the community is managed. 

WHERE YOU WON’T PAY AN EXIT OR DEFERRED MANAGEMENT FEE (DMF)

Unlike retirement operators or developers, Jardin doesn’t impose exit or deferred management fees. We’re not a retirement village, ensuring you won’t encounter unexpected financial burdens upon departure.

WHERE YOU OWN YOUR HOME AND RETAIN CAPITAL GROWTH

The apartments at Jardin are on a strata title which means you own your apartment, and your name goes on title, unlike many other over 55’s developments which have leasehold arrangements. Furthermore, if you choose to sell your apartment later, you retain any capital growth whereas in a typical retirement village, the operator will retain part (or all) of the growth. 

A GARDEN OASIS SURROUNDED BY CONVENIENCE

You want to ensure that your new home meets all your requirements when it comes to location, whether it be access to public transport, local amenities or staying close to your current network and neighbourhood.  At Jardin, you will find a vibrant community that seamlessly blends the tranquility of suburbia with the amenities of urban living.
