About retirement villages in Geelong
Geelong is one of Victoria’s most popular regional retirement destinations, drawing residents from inner Melbourne who want bayside living, lower entry prices, and easy access to Barwon Health and Epworth Geelong. The market is a mix of long-established villages run by community-affiliated boards alongside newer corporate villages. Median weekly fees sit at around $210–$280/week, and most villages offer flexible care pathways — independent living with optional in-home support, transitioning to higher care if needs change.
