Meet Des - hear his resident story
After living in Aberfeldie for close to 40 years, Des and his partner decided the family home had become too big and it was time to downsize. What drew them to Rivervue was not only the space and outlook of their villa, but the feeling of being surrounded by like-minded people in a place that felt open, green and welcoming. They love that there is room for children and grandchildren to visit, plenty of ways to stay active, and a real sense of connection without ever feeling closed in. For Des, life at Rivervue has become fuller, more social and deeply enjoyable.
