What Common Ground Offers

Common Ground Retirement Living in North Canterbury offers a premium way to retire that keeps you independent, connected to your friends, and supported when you need it.

The development is built around one idea: that retirement should fit the life you already have, not ask you to start over in a community of strangers.

Private Neighbourhoods for Groups of Friends

Common Ground creates small private neighbourhoods where groups of friends can live independently while sharing beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces designed exclusively for their group. Each resident has their own home, their own outdoor area, and full privacy whenever they want it.

Club and Shared Facilities

Residents can choose to use the club and facilities shared across the wider Common Ground development. These are available at your choosing and add to the lifestyle without changing the independence of your private neighbourhood.

Healthcare and Practical Support

When you need healthcare or practical support, it is available. Common Ground gives residents access to services within the development so that help is close by without being part of your everyday life until you want it.
