Real Living Group

Real Living Group is a New Zealand–owned, family-operated retirement village operator with around 40 years’ presence focused on the Auckland region. The group manages a small network of villages—Pakuranga Park, Remuera Gardens, Epsom Village and Warkworth Oaks—positioned in established, well‑located neighbourhoods and promoted as communities designed to support independent living alongside varying levels of on‑site services and care. Accommodation and care model Real Living offers a mix of housing types to suit differing needs: freestanding villas, townhouses, apartments and serviced apartments. Some villages emphasize lifestyle and recreation facilities, while others provide a fuller continuum of care so residents can remain in the village as needs change. The group’s minimum entry age is described as 55+, and its villages are presented as hubs centred on community centres with a range of recreational and social programming. Village highlights and locations - Pakuranga Park is described as a well‑established village set on approximately 30 acres of parkland in East Auckland, offering freestanding villas and private apartments. - Remuera Gardens is set within spacious landscaped gardens and includes dedicated care facilities (Kensington House), which has been recognised for an innovative Holistic Dance Exercise Programme. - Epsom Village is positioned centrally in Auckland with proximity to parks and sightlines toward the Waitematā Harbour, promoted as an intimate community (around 90 residents). - Warkworth Oaks is located in the heart of Warkworth village near the Mahurangi River and framed as a retirement community integrated within the wider town. Community life and services Real Living emphasises an active community lifestyle supported by on‑site activities and resident committees. Reported benefits promoted by the group include retention of privacy and independence, 24‑hour on‑call assistance, access to services and recreation, removal of home‑maintenance responsibilities and enhanced security. Recent village activities noted on the site include seasonal events (a “Twelve Days of Christmas” program and market) and care innovation showcased at industry conferences. Values, purchasing and resident experience The operator states values of caring, gratitude, integrity and community, and positions itself as providing guidance through the different legal and practical aspects of buying into a retirement village, ongoing support while resident, and assistance with departure processes. Resident testimonials on the site highlight social engagement, active lifestyles and satisfaction with location and amenities.
