Bringing back the simple life
Welcome to The Ninth, Middle Ridge
A retirement offer unmatched anywhere on the Darling Downs.
Rediscover the community you know and love, with a central location and spectacular views. The Ninth Middle Ridge is a pet-friendly, retirement village offering you unmatched comfort and security, vibrant social connections, and a range of tailored amenities.

The Ninth has been designed for you
Designed by Cox Architecture and built by McNab, The Ninth Middle Ridge fuses modern and traditional elements found throughout Toowoomba. Inspired by tones of local Helidon Sandstone, the colour scheme was chosen to complement the surrounding landscape of The Toowoomba Golf Club and escarpment. This is an exciting and new offering for not only Toowoomba locals, but for anyone who wants to enjoy all the Darling Downs has to offer.

What makes The Ninth Middle Ridge great

Breathtaking views
The vertical village offers easy access to the community facilities and provides an unmatched opportunity to choose an apartment with views across the escarpment, down the fairway of the historic Toowoomba Golf Club or overlooking the tree-tops. The hard part is deciding which view is for you!

Surrounded by nature
Designed to emphasise the natural beauty that the Garden City is known for, The Ninth incorporates a central ‘village green’ and landscaped gardens throughout. The seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living, in both the apartments and community facilities, invites residents to enjoy village life year round.

Close to the area you know and love
The Ninth provides the opportunity for locals to stay in the area they know and love, nearby trusted services like a favourite cafe or family doctor. Remain ingrained in your community, close to all the services needed to continue navigating daily life. It’s time to go back to when things were simpler and you knew your neighbours by name.

Caring inclusive community
Vibrant social connections await your daily life at The Ninth. Join in on all aspects of village life – lose yourself in a book from the library, sit back on the podium with friends to watch the sunset, or start a new activity you’ve wanted to try. Now is the time to do it all and it’s only a lift ride away.

Find the perfect home for you
Discover our range of expertly designed layouts and beautiful appointments on offer. Choose from views over the escarpment, down the fairways, or overlooking the treetops. With modern finishes, open plan living, and many other features, you’re sure to find a home to suit your needs.
Close to everything you know and love
Located in the sought-after suburb of Middle Ridge, residents of The Ninth have easy access to all that Toowoomba has to offer. Positioned 700m above sea level on the escarpment of the Great Dividing Range, many choose to retire to the area for the temperate climate, slower pace of life and wonderful medical facilities. With a large public hospital, two private hospitals and everything is a short drive away, it’s easy to see why so many choose to retire to The Garden City.

Lifestyle at The Ninth
What to expect
The bricks and mortar will look different, but your everyday life doesn’t need to change when you move to The Ninth. You’ll enjoy the benefits of retirement living in something that doesn’t look or feel like a typical retirement village. If you’re looking for privacy, independence, security, social connections and a maintenance free lifestyle, this is the next step for you.
Sought after location
Due to our fantastic location, it’s easy to venture outside of the community and continue your regular daily activities! Whether you want to head into the city, explore the area, or simply go to your trusted doctor, everything is close by. The village bus makes frequent trips around Toowoomba so you don’t have to worry about parking! If you’d prefer to drive, secure onsite resident car parks will help keep your vehicle safe until you’re ready to go.
While we are situated in one of the most picturesque places on the Darling Downs, you may still want to travel! With our security measures and village layout, you will feel comfortable to lock-up and leave on a weekend trip or family holiday. You can continue to enjoy your hobbies, travel, and lifestyle independent of the village, with the security of having a beautiful home to return to.
Offerings
One of the key benefits of residing at The Ninth Middle Ridge is the thoughtful features incorporated into our apartments and facilities. Discreet design elements that promote ageing in place include slip-resistant tiles, reinforced walls in the bathroom for grab rails, hobless showers and flat thresholds out to the balcony. Each apartment is fit with a 24/7 monitored call alarm, ensuring help is always available if needed. Residents are given the opportunity to live as independently as possible in the community and home you love.
We understand the importance of pets to our overall health and well-being, especially as we age, which is why The Ninth Middle Ridge is a pet-friendly retirement village. You’re welcome to continue living with your furry friend by your side.
Community Life
Residents enjoy a vibrant social atmosphere with regular activities organised both within the village and at the golf club. Whether you’re interested in social gatherings, leisure activities, or a round of golf, there’s always something happening to keep you active and connected.
Enjoy Friday night resident drinks, a morning game of chess on the patio, or spend a peaceful day in your private oasis – the choice is yours. At The Ninth, there’s no pressure to join the social activities or community events, you’re free to make your social calendar as full or relaxed as you like!
