Pretoria East retirement developments sought-after
They go on to say that there is a strong demand for these for various reasons. It is a known fact that the majority of South Africans over the age of 55 who buy or sell property are doing it for downscaling purposes. Security and on-site medical and other assisted living facilities and services in retirement complexes are of high quality and attract a significant number of these buyers.
Elderly people, who traditionally farmed or resided in or around country towns, now seek to live in these facilities as are those whose support system, mainly due to family and whom have emigrated, is much weaker than a number of years ago.
Some of the popular options in the area include:
Ruimtesig which is situated against the Bronberg Mountain range in Faerie Glen. It is an established seasoned complex with beautiful views, well developed gardens and an operational frail care centre and dining hall.
Olive Crescent which is situated in Olympus and offers a modern sectional title complex with a mix of townhouses and bottom and upper stack apartments. It also includes a frail care centre, dining hall and recreation lounge/library.
Renaissance Faerie Glen is a 15-year old flagship village with spacious single level, two and three bedroomed houses situated in wide open spaces and well developed gardens. The village is ideal for the “younger” senior citizens needing a lock up and go property.
Featherwood Retirement Estate – is located close to the Woodlands Mall and Pretoria East Hospital. It offers a broad range of options. First, there are houses and units for the active-aged group that can still fully support themselves. Then, says van der Merwe, for the partially-constrained group there are assisted living facilities including meals and medical care. For the constrained group, there is 24/7/365 frail care.
This particular development offers a superb lifestyle with a broad range of facilities on hand including a clubhouse, mini-gym, laundry, cleaning, a professionally managed frail care centre, assisted living services and more.
Prices range from R1.235m for a two-bedroomed unit to R1.62m for a unit with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The development also offers rentals.
There are many benefits in choosing to retire in the city compared to the country, says du Preez. If you choose a lovely estate, you get to enjoy fabulous facilities and grounds while you have all the care you need right on hand. You can also remain close to friends and family, especially your grandchildren who may live in the city and surrounds.
