What is a Land Lease Community?

It’s beautifully simple: you own your home, and lease the land it sits on. Your right to stay on the land is protected by state legislation, giving you both peace of mind and flexibility.

This model is becoming increasingly popular thanks to its financial advantages, especially for those looking to “rightsize” while still living life to the fullest. And when you choose The Residences by Chirpy, you’re also joining a vibrant, supportive community designed around connection, wellbeing and fun.

You own the Home, not the Land — and that’s a Win!

At The Residences by Chirpy, you’ll own a beautiful, architecturally designed home packed with luxurious inclusions — all at a fraction of the price of traditional home-and-land purchases.

And because you're not buying the land:

No entry or exit fees
No hidden charges that come with some retirement village contracts

Unlocking lifestyle-focused communities

Land lease communities also allow developers to take a more holistic approach to planning and design.

Because the land remains under unified ownership, communities can be carefully managed and maintained over time. Shared amenities, landscaping and communal spaces can be thoughtfully integrated into the overall environment, creating a stronger sense of place.

This structure makes it easier to deliver lifestyle-oriented communities that prioritise wellbeing, connection and everyday convenience.

Residents benefit from access to amenities such as:

landscaped gardens and walking trails
wellness facilities and recreation spaces
social gathering areas and clubhouses
low-maintenance living environments

The result is a residential experience that often feels closer to resort-style living than traditional suburban housing.

Your weekly site fee covers, community maintenance, and resort facilities — all maintained for you. These fees are simple, transparent, and reviewed annually in line with inflation.
