You’re never too young for Reside!

At 63, Steve Simpson is loving life – and proof that you’re never too young to enjoy a Reside lifestyle. 

The father-of-two moved to Brookland Village in March and has been making the most of the community atmosphere ever since. 

“It’s fantastic, I absolutely love it,” he said. 

“The site is wonderful, and the staff are all very genuine people who care about what they do. 

“I was initially worried that I might be too young for this lifestyle, but that’s not the case at all. I’ve got a great group of friends and often go down to the meeting room to play scrabble with the senior ladies.” 

Steve keeps himself busy and still works as an events manager at Queensland Sports and Athletic Centre. 

Once upon a time, he played guitar and sang at clubs and cafes around Brisbane, but only performs in private these days. 

“Although age is only about how you feel, I do think my voice has changed as I’ve got older and I’m not quite up to it now,” he said. 

Instead, he spends his spare time taking photographs and flying drones. “If I can combine the two, even better!” he laughed.
