The Ninth has been designed for you

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.

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.
