Welcome to your new home
Cumberland Villages are passionate about creating over 55s living communities and are renowned for our warmth, friendliness and experience. Located in the Newcastle area, we were founded on the desire to create comfortable, safe, integrated over 55s living facilities that are filled with vibrancy.
Cumberland Villages offer a variety of small villages centrally located in Newcastle. Our villages combine residential, lifestyle and recreational facilities where you can form new friendships and be part of a welcoming, close knit community whilst still continuing to live independently.
Within a Cumberland Village you can experience beautifully maintained village surrounds, quality villas and superb facilities while enjoying a wide range of activities to enhance any desired retirement lifestyle.
With three villages to choose from, offering one, two and three bedroom villas, you’ll find a home that suits your personality, needs and budget.

Located in Shortland, this is our original Cumberland village. Just 15 minutes from Newcastle CBD, Cumberland Gardens combines convenience with comfort. The village offers residents the perfect balance of security, privacy, and modern living, while fostering an enhanced quality of life within a welcoming community lifestyle. Surrounded by established gardens and designed with ease of living in mind, Cumberland Gardens provides the ideal setting for those seeking independence with peace of mind.
The village consists of 55 independent living villas in a mix of two and three-bedroom layouts, giving you the freedom to choose a home that best suits your lifestyle.
Found just around the corner from our original village development, Cumberland Glen offers a relaxing lifestyle retreat with ample village recreation facilities.
Relax with a good book and a glass of your favourite beverage, while soaking in the evening sun – each villa comes complete with a generous al-fresco patio overlooking the lush Hunter wetlands.
Play pool, table tennis, air hockey, darts, a round of indoor bowls in the games room or just catch up on your team’s latest sports results, whatever you are into there’s something to suit in the generous community centre.
Set among manicured gardens with a rural aspect right in the heart of Wallsend, Cumberland Gardens is our newest lifestyle village completed in 2024.
This village offers modern two-and three-bedroom villas, with dual bathrooms, double and single garage options and ample additional parking. There’s plenty of great shared village facilities too - enjoy a morning swim in the indoor pool, work out in the gym, have fun in the games room, or take in a movie in the theatre room then relax on the expansive al-fresco deck and try your hand at outdoor bowls. The options are endless.
