Income-Generating 3-Bed Apartment | Prime Scottsville Investment Property | Walk to UKZN and Mall

Enjoy effortless student-friendly living steps from UKZN and Scottsville Mall, with a private garden veranda and communal pool — three-bedroom ground-floor apartment, currently tenanted.

A PRIME LOCATION. ESTABLISHED TENANTS. AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY READY TO TAKE OVER!

If location is everything in property investment, this apartment ticks all the right boxes! Ideally positioned in the heart of Scottsville, within the sought-after Sanmar Mansions, this well-maintained 3-bedroom ground-floor apartment presents an excellent opportunity for investors seeking an income-generating property in one of Pietermaritzburg’s most popular student and professional accommodation destinations.

What makes this investment particularly attractive is its exceptional proximity to key amenities and institutions. The apartment is conveniently situated next door to Scottsville Mall, approximately 3 minutes’ walk away, and only 450 metres (approximately 5 minutes’ walk) from the UKZN Pietermaritzburg Main Campus entrance on King Edward Avenue. This strategic positioning makes it ideally suited to student accommodation, postgraduate students and young working professionals who value convenience, accessibility and a comfortable living environment.

Even better, the apartment is currently fully occupied, with an established tenant profile comprising postgraduate students and young professionals undertaking their internships. The property is well maintained and occupied by tenants who appreciate a quiet, comfortable and family-oriented residential environment. For an investor, this offers the advantage of acquiring a property with existing tenants in place, subject to the terms of the existing lease agreements.

The apartment offers a practical and welcoming layout, comprising three bedrooms, a bathroom, a decent sizable lounge and a separate dining area flowing conveniently into the kitchen. A private veranda overlooking the garden provides a pleasant outdoor space, while the complex’s communal swimming pool is an added attraction, particularly during Pietermaritzburg’s hot summer months.
