Live steps from Stellenbosch University in The One — compact, cleverly designed one-bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the communal garden and pool, plus cinema, gym and 24-hour security.
Smart Investment. Smarter Design. The One, Stellenbosch Central.
In a town where quality accommodation is perpetually scarce and rental demand near the university consistently outpaces supply, this 30m2 one-bedroom apartment at The One represents exactly the kind of asset discerning investors, parents and students are competing for.
The apartment itself is a lesson in how well a compact space can be designed. A clean, linear layout flows from entrance to bedroom with no wasted space and no compromises. The kitchenette and bathroom anchor the entry end of the apartment, while the living area opens up ahead. Integrated shelving, a lounge and a wall-mounted study desk; a full-length floating shelf with a seat that slides seamlessly underneath. The bedroom is separated from the living space by glass partitions, maintaining a sense of privacy without sacrificing the natural light that floods through the apartment. Floor-to-ceiling windows at the rear look directly onto the communal garden and pool, inviting greenery and light into the room and creating a unique sense of apartment living.
Beyond the apartment itself, The One`s shared amenities are a genuine differentiator:
·Cinema room with a starlight ceiling
·Gaming room equipped with gaming chairs, playstation`s and PC`s.
·A fully equipped communal kitchen and dining area
·A fully equipped gym with modern machinery and weights
·Dedicated work cubicles and multiple breakaway seating areas
All within a fully managed, secure development with a staffed reception and 24-hour security. Safe, secure and only 750 metres from Stellenbosch University.
According to the Africanvestor (2025), buy-to-let yields in prime Stellenbosch student locations can reach up to 14.5%, and vacancy rates near the university hover close to zero; making this a straightforward, low-friction investment in one of the Western Cape`s most resilient property markets.
Whether you are an investor seeking consistent rental returns, a parent securing quality accommodation for a student, or a buyer looking to occupy; this is a well-priced entry into a development that continues to appreciate.
