From the established suburb of Matua to the new developments of Bethlehem, these areas are popular with seniors.
Bethlehem in particular with it’s beautiful gardens and easy access to shopping is an area where many move for their easy retirement years.

The new Farmers development of Elizabeth Towers is attracting the interest of those looking to downsize to low maintenance and easy access homes. Although there is a way to go, this will be the beginning of the move back into the central city
Tauranga East - Mt Maunganui to Golden Sands
A retirement mecca for generations, the Mount Maunganui peninsular remains a popular destination for retirees looking for sun, shopping, and “surf” and easy walking areas.
Continued growth towards the proposed new Te Tumu development area has led to new lifestyle villages being established and the opportunity to move in without a long wait.
