A lush setting, endless convenience 


Perfectly positioned in the sought-after suburb of Essendon along Moreland and Pascoe Vale Roads, you’ll find the idyllic location for Ryman’s proposed new Essendon Retirement Village. Leafy streets, friendly vibe, and endless convenience offer a taste of what this village location will offer. Melbourne CBD is merely 9km away and the Essendon shopping precinct is less than 2km from the village. If you’re wanting to venture a little further, a bus stop is located right outside the village, both Glenbervie Train Station and the local tram stop are within walking distance, plus a Citylink entrance is less than 1km away. It’s your gateway to easy living.

Weaving its way alongside an extensive portion of the village is Moonee Ponds Creek, surrounded by trees and lush green spaces. The village will offer a direct accessway to Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, which follows the creek for approximately 25km. With Five Mile Creek Reserve also bordering the village, you’ll have the perfect setting for walking your furry friend or tiring out those energetic grandkids.

As a Ryman village, the proposed Essendon Village will offer living options to suit everyone, giving you the freedom to live the way you want. You can choose from an independent apartment, and if you need a little extra support, an assisted-living apartment could be just what you need. A state-of-the-art aged-care centre will also be located within the same village community offering residential aged care (low care and high care), and specialist dementia care.

The village will epitomise what it means to live life to the full in retirement. Along with all of the top-notch amenities, activities and events Ryman villages are renowned for, you’ll gain a lifestyle and a community you can thrive in. And for those local to the area, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy our village within your local village.

Aged-care when you need it

Our retirement villages offer a range of care options - not as an add-on, but woven into the fabric of our villages.

Essendon Village will offer a full range of aged-care options including residential aged care (low care and high care) and specialist dementia care. Like all aspects of our villages, we constantly look for ways to improve both the aged care we provide and the innovation behind it. Aged care is customised using our myRyman Care app and residents love the food in our seasonal Delicious menu, which is prepared fresh on site by village chefs.
