Long Jetty on the Central Coast, just 90 minutes north of Sydney, is set to welcome a new benchmark in premium lakeside living with the launch of Lakeview Long Jetty, a lifestyle-focused over-55s apartment development by developer, Surewin.
Set on the shores of the spectacular Tuggerah Lake in Long Jetty, the project combines sweeping lake views, walkable convenience, natural surroundings and spacious contemporary design.
Open to a wider buyer pool
While Lakeview Long Jetty is designed as an over-55s lifestyle community, it is also attracting interest from a broader range of buyers.
Anyone aged 18 years and over is eligible to purchase within the development, provided that at least one person who eventually occupies the apartment is aged 55 years or over.
PMC Ray White Principal, Peter Shield, said this structure creates exceptional flexibility for a wide range of buyers:
“Even though it’s over 55s, anyone over the age of 18 can buy an apartment here. The only proviso is that one of the people who is residing in the apartment must be over 55. So this means, for example, if you’re over 55 and say your partner is 30 or 40, that’s okay, you can live here. Also you can have your kids live here or friends or anyone of any ages, as long as one person who occupies the residence is over 55 years of age.”
He added:
“Lakeview also offers strata titled ownership. This is the highest form of title backed by the government that you own both the apartment and the land that it sits on. You are free to sell the apartment without exit fees or leave it to a person of your choice in your will. As an owner here, you can look forward to many years of wealth building through capital growth.”
Strong investment appeal in a growing rental market
The Central Coast continues to experience sustained population growth, with a significant and expanding over-55 demographic seeking high-quality rental housing close to health services, retail, beaches and transport.
Early market expectations indicate strong rental demand for Lakeview Long Jetty, with forecast weekly rents anticipated to be:
- 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1 car space apartments from $825,000: forecast range: $750 per week, Mr Shield confirmed.
Lifestyle-driven design for healthy, active living
According to Peter Shield, the development is tailored to an evolving lifestyle demographic.
“Lakeview Long Jetty is designed for healthy, active over 55s who may be looking for a sea-change lifestyle. Residents will enjoy living right on the lake, while being close to beaches, cafés, and some of the Central Coast’s best walks. It’s a rare opportunity to combine nature, convenience and community in one location. Being located right beside The Diggers – Entrance will also provide residents at Lakeview with a real sense of community with a café, restaurant, alfresco dining and a range of activities and entertainment – pickleball, bowls, live music, trivia etc. It really is the centre of the community.”
He also highlighted strong secondary buyer appeal:
“It’s also a fantastic purchase for families whose children may be in high school, where school fees are far more affordable than Sydney, while still enjoying a premium coastal lifestyle.”
Architecture inspired by place and permanence
Principal of ADG Architects, Anthony Kelly said the design responds directly to its natural surrounds, lakeside and coastal identity.
“The materiality of the architecture was inspired by the surrounding landscape, the iconic Long Jetty on Tuggerah Lake and the local built environment. We therefore used materials such as face-brick, hardwood timber, and fibre cement cladding which are all both low-maintenance and weather-resistant. The apartments, available in two and three-bedroom configurations, are designed to offer spacious living areas, large bathrooms, and universal accessibility. This ensures that residents can comfortably age in place, with features like bathtubs, large showers, lift access, scooter storage, and parking.”
Mr Kelly also noted his personal connection to the location having grown up in Long Jetty and lived there for the past 35 years:
“As children, we used to pick the longest [jetty] because it went the deepest as you could get out further. Back in those days, they were a bit rickety which we enjoyed more as it was more a challenge to get to the end. We used to fish and use row boats out on the water. Fantastic experience. It was all fishing shacks. A lot of inspiration for this project came from that childhood. That’s why we called the project, Lakeview because of its importance to the project and it is so expansive. We designed the building to maximise the opportunities to see that lake from the units and the common areas.”
A landmark lakeside lifestyle offering
Lakeview Long Jetty delivers an exceptional suite of resident amenities across three levels, designed to foster connection, wellbeing and leisure. Residents will enjoy a private parkland that meanders through the site, auditorium-style stepped seating ideal for performance art or community gatherings, lush, landscaped gardens, BBQ and outdoor dining areas, a viewing platform, pergola, and an indoor function centre.
A standout feature is direct undercover access to the nearby hospitality and entertainment precinct, including the adjoining Long Jetty Club and the renowned dining and entertainment
destination, Diggers The Entrance.
Nature, outlook and coastal connection
Set against the backdrop of Tuggerah Lake, the development offers uninterrupted water outlooks, abundant birdlife and a daily rhythm defined by nature. Residents can expect spectacular sunsets over the lake that reflect across the water, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on calm, restorative living.
Peter Shield added:
“We offer a variety of apartment types ranging from two bedroom apartments to a four-bedroom penthouse. You can choose a two bedroom villa-style that has its own street frontage or a three bedroom apartment or even a garden apartment with a private external courtyard spacious enough to host a family BBQ.”
“Our three bedroom apartments are generously-sized perfect for accommodating all the family members including the grandkids. Nearly all apartments offer stunning lake views.”
Pricing starts from $825,000 for a two bedroom, two bathroom plus one car space apartment.
