Is it better to invest in a Lifestyle Estate? Here are 6 reasons why...

Lifestyle estates have become increasingly popular among homebuyers in recent years. With added safety and security, availability of amenities, effective property management, and community involvement, these developments offer a unique and attractive investment opportunity for investors and homeowners alike. In this piece, we explore the key reasons why lifestyle estates are worth the long-term investment.

 

  1. Added safety and security

 

Safety and security are paramount when choosing a home, especially in South Africa. In essence, lifestyle estates offer just that. These developments are designed with a security-first approach, incorporating state-of-the-art technology such as CCTV surveillance, electric fencing, and 24/7 manned security and patrols. This gives residents the peace of mind they need, knowing their homes and loved ones are safe and secure regardless of the time of day.

 

  1. Availability and accessibility of amenities - a healthy lifestyle

 

Lifestyle estates are built with the resident's well-being in mind, centred around providing them with easy access. They offer a variety of amenities, from lifestyle benefits to even in-house convenience and grocery stores provided by those referred to as Super Estates. Such estates make it so that one may never need to leave the confines of its walls if they so choose. 

Such amenities may include swimming pools, gyms, and walking trails, which provide residents with the opportunity to live a healthy and active lifestyle. These amenities are usually located within walking distance of homes, making them easily accessible to all residents. 

Additionally, lifestyle estates, such as Silver Lakes Golf Estate, are typically close to shopping centres, schools, and medical facilities, ensuring convenience and accessibility.

 

  1. Effective property management and maintenance

 

One of the biggest advantages of investing in a lifestyle estate is effective property management and maintenance. These developments are typically managed by professional property management companies that ensure that the estate is well-maintained and managed. 

This includes maintenance of communal areas, landscaping, and ensuring that all amenities are in good working condition. This provides residents with the assurance that their investment is being taken care of and will appreciate in value over time.

 

  1. Community Involvement


Lifestyle estates offer a sense of community, with residents sharing common interests and lifestyles. These communities are often built around a central hub, providing residents with opportunities to socialise and engage in activities alongside each other. 

This creates a sense of belonging and encourages community involvement, resulting in a happier and more fulfilled lifestyle as lifelong friendships form in groups of similar desires and interests.

 

  1. Architectural Intelligence and Overcrowding


Lifestyle estates are designed with architectural intelligence, incorporating the latest trends in design and technology. This ensures that homes are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and energy-efficient. Additionally, lifestyle estates are designed with a low-density approach, avoiding overcrowding and ensuring that residents have ample space, privacy, and security.

 

  1. Secure investment


Lastly, investing in a lifestyle estate is a secure, modern investment. These developments are typically built in areas that are in high demand, ensuring that property values appreciate over time. Additionally, lifestyle estates offer a range of property types, catering to different budgets and investment objectives. Whether looking to purchase a starter home or a luxury property, there is something for everyone in a lifestyle estate.
