FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS
It ’ s such an exciting time for young people who are looking for their ideal family home , but it can be a very stressful undertaking if the necessary research isn ’ t done . For young families , there are lots of elements that need to be taken into account . To assist in making this important decision , we ’ ve put together a suggested list of 10 things that will guide future homeowners so that they enjoy a lifetime of happiness in their new home .
It also goes without saying that our latest residential development is Serenity Hills . Situated in Margate on the beautiful KZN South Coast , this eco-estate ticks all these points – and more – when it comes to a family-friendly development .
01 . NATURAL LIVING
Children require a lot of space for exercise and physical activities that are needed for healthy development . This is why it ’ s important to consider a place that has a garden , preferably with access to natural areas like nature reserves , beaches and parks with hiking and biking trails . Climbing trees , fishing in dams , making outdoor forts … these are all wonderful moments that make up a childhood so it ’ s worth considering the natural facilities available .
02 . ACCESSIBILITY
Young families don ’ t necessarily want a home in the heart of the city , or on a busy road network , but it ’ s important that there is still access to the relevant facilities such as good schools , sports ’ grounds , shopping centres and healthcare facilities .
03 . SECURITY
The reality of living in South Africa is that security has to be prioritised when choosing a home . It ’ s no good having access to great natural facilities if the children aren ’ t able to freely enjoy them . That ’ s why estate living is fast becoming the safest option for young families
