A Spotlight on Retirement Living – My Future Living
In the first of our spotlights, we meet My Future Living, who own and manage retirement properties in purpose built developments nationally. Launched in 2021, the company believe that later life should be about freedom, comfort and connection. They specialise in creating safe and sociable communities in high-quality developments designed for independent living. Here, we asked them some questions about their goals, their business and their latest developments.
At My Future Living, our mission is simple: to make later life living easy, enjoyable, and empowering. Through our partnerships, communities, and resident-focused approach, we’re proud to be shaping a future where retirement means opportunity, not limitation.
We want our homes to be more than just places to live, but places to belong. By offering modern, flexible rental options, we help older adults enjoy the independence of their own apartment without the responsibilities of homeownership. Every development we work with is chosen because it offers more than accommodation; it offers a lifestyle.
To us, retirement living means freedom, choice, and community. It’s about enjoying independence with the reassurance that help is available when needed. It’s also about leaving behind some of the maintenance worries of homeownership, freeing up time and energy for the things that really matter.
Renting in retirement can also be a smart financial and lifestyle decision. It allows people to release equity, remain flexible, and enjoy a sociable life in safe, purpose-built environments. As shown in the story of Mr and Mrs Jones, this approach can open the door to a whole new chapter filled with opportunity and peace of mind.
We’re proud to list our properties with OnTheMarket, a trusted platform that aligns perfectly with our audience and values. Their reputation, reach, and intuitive website help us showcase our homes to those seeking quality, comfort, and community.
We particularly value how easy it is for potential residents and their families to explore listings, compare options, and make informed choices. OnTheMarket’s visibility tools and analytics help us reach the right audience while building awareness of our brand and portfolio.
Magnolia Grange in Worle, Weston-Super-Mare is a thriving example. A key benefit is the communal lounge, which plays an important role in creating a genuine sense of community. This shared space gives residents a relaxed place to meet neighbours and helps friendships to develop naturally through organised activities, or socialising over a coffee and even home baked treats. For many people moving later in life, having welcoming communal areas makes it easier to settle in, stay socially active, and avoid feelings of isolation, while still enjoying the privacy and independence of their own apartment.
A recent customer story highlights this even further. Steve Leake came to one of our developments worrying about feeling isolated in a new home on his own, but he has been anything but lonely. The past three years at Homethorn House have been more social than expected with daily coffee mornings, hosting a weekly quiz night and even finding a new partner to share his passions with. Read his full story here.
Wherever possible, we ensure most of our rental properties are in developments that include the same core benefits that make a real difference to daily life:
Recent feedback from our resident survey has been overwhelmingly positive. Many tell us they’ve found “a new lease on life,” feel less isolated, and enjoy being part of a vibrant community. One resident summed it up perfectly: “It’s having your independence, but never feeling alone.”
The future of retirement living is flexible, sustainable, and connected. More people are embracing rental options in later life, seeking the freedom to live well without the constraints of ownership. We expect the sector to continue evolving and hope to bring more homes to the generations coming up. We will continue to offer homes that support both physical and social wellbeing.
Beyond the bricks and mortar, we see a future that integrates health and lifestyle services, from exercise classes and hairdressers to podiatry and physiotherapy – all designed to support active, fulfilling lives.
Technology also plays a growing role. From virtual viewings to smart safety systems and digital maintenance reporting, PropTech is helping residents feel secure and stay connected. We are building on our intuitive digital platforms to bring to our residents, so they too have access and control over their tenancies, the support they are entitled too and keep in touch with any issue that arise within their home.
