Discover how Peter traded the hustle of the big city for a vibrant, connected lifestyle at Greytown Orchards.
“I don’t have any regrets about leaving the big city,” says Greytown Orchards Retirement Village resident, Peter. “This place has given me a completely different lifestyle—one that’s relaxed, social, and full of opportunity.”
Drawn to the village by its fresh start and thoughtful design, the decision to move to Greytown Orchards was easy. “It was new, it had space between the villas, and it was close to shops, cafés—everything I needed.” And while the convenience was a major plus, it’s the sense of belonging that’s made the biggest difference. “From knowing no one in Greytown, I’ve now met so many interesting people.”
Since settling in, Peter’s life has taken on a rich new rhythm. From joining the village cycling group to starting a film group and attending the book club, there’s no shortage of ways to connect and stay active. “There are activities for everyone. Greytown Orchards is just a great environment to be a part of.”
Living in Greytown has brought a new ease to retirement. “Cycling is a pleasure here—the roads are quiet—and I can walk into town for groceries or a coffee. Everything feels close, yet peaceful. It’s a friendly, relaxed place to live.”

As the village continues to grow, exciting changes are on the horizon. “Construction has already begun on The Lodge, a new Community Centre, and new villas are going up. A Care facility will also be added later, which is something future residents should consider. But if the village as it is now meets your needs, you won’t be disappointed.”
And sometimes it’s the simple pleasures that make all the difference. “We all have porches here—and they’re perfect for sitting with a glass of wine, whether alone or with friends.” They’ve even found their go-to local hairdresser: “Style 101—he’s a bit of a legend around here. It’s a five-star salon, no question.”
For those wondering what retirement in a small town could look like, Greytown Orchards offers an inspiring answer. It’s not just a place to live—it’s a place to enjoy, to connect, and to keep discovering. Peter says, “moving here was the right choice. I haven’t looked back.”
