Why Choose Apārangi Village?
At Apārangi Village, retirement living is more than just a place to settle – it’s about embracing a secure, rewarding, and vibrant lifestyle.
Founded in 1973 by members of the local community who had a desire to create somewhere special to retire to and now administered by a volunteer Trust Board, we’re committed to providing a retirement experience like no other.
Our village is built on three pillars: People, Place, and Community. We believe in fostering meaningful connections, providing exceptional care, and creating an enriching environment where residents can truly thrive.
With a unique approach to home ownership, spacious surroundings, and an unbeatable location, Apārangi Village is more than just a retirement village – it’s a supportive and inclusive community where every individual is valued and can enjoy a fulfilling and independent life.
What Makes Apārangi Village Unique?
Our commitment to People, Place, and Community is reflected in everything we offer. Here’s what sets Apārangi apart:
1. Enjoy the Benefits of Capital Gain
Unlike many retirement villages, Apārangi offers capital gain to residents, meaning that your investment in your home can grow in value over time. This financial freedom provides long-term security and peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.
2. Experience Unique Architecture with Everyday Convenience
Apārangi Village is designed to offer wide-open spaces and low-density housing, ensuring a peaceful and private environment. Each home features distinct architectural character, creating a village that feels welcoming, diverse, and thoughtfully designed. Plus, everything is within walking distance of town, making daily life convenient and connected.
