Downsizing: Why so many do it and choose Mosaic apartments

Downsizing from a large family home is an obvious choice when retirement is on the cards, or for ‘empty nesters’ – whose children have moved out of the house. It makes more sense to opt for a smaller abode, with less time spent on maintenance and repairs, and more time enjoying life.

So how do you know if downsizing is the right decision for you, and what are the benefits?

When should I downsize?

The simple answer is whenever you’re ready. When the children have left the nest, or when trimming hedges and cleaning the pool is suddenly feeling overwhelming, it’s probably a sign to start considering a lower maintenance living option.

Top 5 reasons downsizers love Mosaic apartments:

1. Premium Locations
Mosaic developments are situated in high-demand, premium locations near cafés / restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and transport, meaning everything you need for your upgraded lifestyle is in short reach.

In particular, city, water and beach locality are a key feature of Mosaic developments, such as First Bay in Coolum Beach which enjoys a rare, direct oceanfront position; Avalon which sits directly on the shores of the pristine Maroochy River; and The Sinclair by Mosaic, only 2km to Brisbane’s CBD.

2. Amenity rich developments

Relative to their size, each Mosaic development contains a large level of exclusive resident amenity, providing boundless lifestyle benefits that you may not otherwise get with a traditional family home. Resort-inspired pools, spa’s, sauna’s, fully equipped gymnasiums and rooftop recreation areas are just a few of the perks you could experience living in a Mosaic development, and are typically only seen in million-dollar houses.

3. Management and caretaking 

We retain the management and caretaking of our properties post-completion, so you can rest assured that your asset is beautifully cared for and maintained.

4. Designed for you

People are at the heart of all that we do. We set new benchmarks for residential excellence through thoughtfully considered designs that maximise the use of space, light and finish, creating homes that people genuinely want to live in. Not only are our developments designed for owner-occupiers, but they are also our main purchasers.

5. Pet friendly

Mosaic understands that that individuals, couples and families go through many life stages and household types, and that pets are treasured members of the family. We pride ourselves on being a pet-friendly developer, with many of our apartments containing pet-suitable features such as open-plan design, stain resistant finishes, outdoor showers and purpose-built dog washes.

Don’t take our word for it, hear it for yourself!

Mosaic purchasers and downsizers Donald and Elizabeth couldn’t be happier with their decision to downsize in a Mosaic home.

“We glanced over at our neighbour mowing his grass, and with a big grin on my face, I looked over and said – we never have to do that anymore”.

Stephen and Lyn downsized to a Mosaic development, after never believing they would live in an apartment.

“It’s like being in a resort actually, it’s lovely!”.
