With so many housing developments popping up, it can be hard to pick one from the crowd
How to find an ideal modern housing development
Category News
The search for the perfect home is one that requires a level of discernment and realism. The property market is relishing the housing development moment, and numerous estates and niche suburbs are popping up. If you are looking for a new area or development to move into next year, read on to learn how to find the right one for your lifestyle.
Social changes that have led to property developments
As modern societal roles, jobs and family dynamics have evolved, the way we live has as well. The housing market continues to surprise us in terms of what is in demand each year, but one option has been steadily growing in popularity. Gated communities and housing that reflect a one-size-fits-all approach have become the trend for those who are seeking affordable, quality housing. Developments that have sprung up nationwide have found a way to capitalise on the need for safety and security, coupled with premium finishes and appliances.
The blueprint for new homes
Certain estates have identified innovative ways to grab the attention of the modern property buyer. Freestanding homes will always be in demand, however, the type of lifestyle individuals want to lead is now directly linked to the area they live in and the type of homes they own. South Africans in general are opting for gated estates. Established professionals and families want the peace of mind that comes with living in access-controlled environments. Security cameras, boom gates, guards on patrol, number plate identification, facial recognition and more are just some of the perks of investing in a modern housing development.
When you are searching for a home to either live in or purchase to rent to tenants these developments stand head and shoulders above the rest. You are guaranteed to be able to request a higher monthly rental income as there is often a waiting list to live in these developments. As a long-term financial investment, adding a modern housing development to your portfolio looks to be a beneficial decision.
Practice (and research) makes perfect
It is vital to gather as much information as you can about the most reliable new developments. Marketing and advertising channels online do a great job of providing downloadable resources for you to peruse at your leisure. Brochures and intended construction plans are always a good idea to have, as they let you envision being part of the development.
When it comes to the aesthetics of modern homes, it's easy to see why they have become the obvious choice for the younger generation of working professionals. Many modern housing developments feature brand-new, state-of-the-art appliances, trendy cabinets, matching bathrooms and a colour scheme that would rival any home interior magazine cover. It's up to the resident to put their unique stamp on the house or apartment with interesting and personalised decor touches. The only downside to living in a modern housing development might be the rules and regulations you will have to follow regarding renovations on the outside appearance or structural integrity of the property. This is usually outlined before purchase, so you are aware of the limitations beforehand.
