Meet Sandra, one of our residents at Clifton Yamba who recently sat down with the Yamba SCENE magazine to share her experience. We’ve included most of the interview below for ease of reading, and a full copy of the article at the end of this post…
As a single woman who’s embraced the Clifton lifestyle, Sandra shared her thoughts on the benefits of living in a gated community, the importance of connection, and what she loves most about her new home.
Q: Sandra, what drew you to Clifton Yamba?
Sandra: As a single woman, feeling safe and secure was a top priority for me, and the gated community at Clifton immediately ticked that box. Beyond that, I was looking for a lifestyle where I could connect with like-minded people, and the sense of community here is amazing. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported.
Q: How has living in a gated community made a difference for you?
Sandra: It gives me incredible peace of mind. I never have to worry about security, which allows me to focus on enjoying my life and the wonderful amenities Clifton offers. The gated environment also fosters a sense of exclusivity and connection—you know your neighbours, and there’s a shared sense of respect and care among everyone here
Q: You’ve mentioned the importance of social interaction. Can you tell us more?
Sandra: Absolutely! The social interaction at Clifton has been a game-changer for me. There’s always an opportunity to connect with others, whether it’s through organised activities or casual chats with neighbours. Research shows that connection and a sense of belonging are vital for our wellbeing, especially as we age, and I truly feel that here. At the same time, I have the flexibility to enjoy my privacy when I want—it’s the perfect balance.
Q: Tell us about your home. What made you choose the “Ruby Tuesday“?
Sandra: I fell in love with the “Ruby Tuesday” design because it’s the perfect size for me—easy to manage but still spacious enough to feel comfortable. It was built with low maintenance in mind, which is so important for my lifestyle, and the quality is exceptional. On top of all that, it was affordable, so I feel like I got incredible value for money.
Q: What’s your favourite part about the Clifton lifestyle?
Sandra: The facilities are amazing! From the clubhouse to the pool and other amenities, it feels like living in a resort. I love that everything is designed to enhance your quality of life. And then there’s the Yamba area—it’s such a beautiful place to call home, with stunning beaches, great cafes,
Q: What advice would you give to someone considering a move to Clifton?
Sandra: If you’re looking for a safe, welcoming, and vibrant community, don’t hesitate. The lifestyle here is truly unique, and there’s something special about being surrounded by people who share the same values and priorities. And make sure to explore the home designs—there’s something for everyone, and the quality is second to none.
