Greenwich Gardens celebrates final completion

Metlifecare’s Greenwich Gardens retirement village has celebrated an exciting milestone with the official completion of its final development stage.

To celebrate this achievement, around 300 residents and staff recently gathered for an afternoon tea in the sun, complete with ribbon-cutting festivities that ushered in this exciting new chapter.

The newly completed phase brings an additional 51 brand-new apartments across two buildings, offering a range of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom units designed for comfort and style. But the apartments are just the beginning.

The development also introduces The Pavilion, a modern, and light-filled communal lounge and kitchen perfectly designed for social gatherings, that opens onto a brand-new croquet lawn. A new art room invites creativity, and expansive, beautifully landscaped gardens have been added, creating spacious outdoor spaces for everyone to enjoy.

New residents and recent move-ins, Mark and Christine Sinclair, who bought their apartment off the plan, shared their excitement: "We’re rapt! It’s even better than we expected. The facilities are great, and everyone is so friendly.

“We looked at a number of other villages around Auckland, but as soon as we walked in here, we immediately liked it and could really visualise living here,” says Mark.

The village has long been known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere – in fact, its residents claim it’s ‘the friendliest village in Auckland’.

Ken and Elaine Strong agree with this sentiment. “I went for a five-minute coffee in the café the other day and was there for three hours!” Ken laughs.

Modern, spacious living options, with expansive outlooks and high-end amenities make it an attractive choice for those looking for a friendly modern community to call home.

“I preferred Greenwich Gardens to all the others we looked at. I liked the availability of all the services and different activities on offer. Everything is so accessible. I am going to be very busy!” laughs Elaine.

The completion of these final developments further solidifies the village's reputation as one of the area’s most sought-after retirement living destinations. If you’re looking for a friendly, vibrant, and comfortable place to call home, now is the perfect time to consider joining Greenwich Gardens’ growing community.
