The Opportunity

Forest Grove Retirement Living is a well-established community, nestled amongst 34 hectares of greenery and is home to 620+ independent living units & villas. Forest Grove has a range of sought-after amenities including walking paths, duck pond, tennis court, swimming pools and bowling green.
