About Levande 

Levande is an Australian retirement living operator focused on helping older Australians live independently in connected, low-maintenance communities. 

The name Levande comes from the Swedish word for 'vivid' and 'full of life', which reflects the operator's positioning around active, social and supportive retirement living. 

According to Levande, it supports more than 10,000 residents across 59 retirement communities in urban, regional and coastal locations around Australia. 

On villages.com.au, Levande communities can be found across several states, with listings showing a mix of retirement villages, independent living units, apartments and selected serviced apartment options.

Always check the individual Levande village listing on villages.com.au, as availability, pricing, dwelling type and amenities vary by community. 

Living Options at Levande 

Levande mainly caters to independent retirees who want a more manageable home with community, amenities and services nearby. 

Levande should primarily be positioned as a retirement living operator. Levande community don’t provide aged care.  Some may provide care through Support at Home, but check that specific listing confirms it. 

What Does It Cost to Live in a Levande Village? 

Levande village costs vary by state, suburb, property type, contract model and current availability. 

Some villages.com.au listings show prices, while others may use “contact agent”, “price on application” or availability-based pricing. You should always check the latest listing before making a decision. 

Before signing a retirement village contract, seek independent legal and financial advice so you understand entry costs, ongoing fees, exit fees and your rights under the relevant state legislation. 

Lifestyle & Amenities 

Levande communities are designed around independent living, connection and low-maintenance retirement. 

Depending on the village, amenities and lifestyle features may include: 

• Community centres and resident lounges 

• Village buses 

• Cafes, bars or dining spaces in selected communities 

• Hairdressers or beauty salons 

• Gardens, vegetable gardens and outdoor spaces 

• Resident committees and social activities 

• Medical alert systems in some communities 

• Walkable access to shops or public transport in selected locations 

Amenities vary significantly between villages, so you should compare the individual listing details rather than assuming every Levande village offers the same facilities.
