5 Properties to rent in Point

In real estate, one principle remains timeless: a great location will always outperform great finishes. Renovations can transform a home’s comfort and appeal, but they can’t shift a property closer to top schools, thriving business hubs, popular lifestyle estates, or the ocean. And in South Africa’s complex market, where service delivery, safety, and lifestyle demand vary sharply from street to street, location has become the biggest driver of long-term value.

When the time comes to settle into your golden years, choosing the right retirement property matters just as much as the decades of living before it. Whether you’re helping ageing parents, planning ahead for yourself, or looking for an investment option with lifestyle benefits, retirement-living choices in South Africa offer both promise and pitfalls.

South Africans continue to see property as one of the most stable and rewarding investments, even amid economic uncertainty. The Absa Homeowner Sentiment Index (HSI) for Q3 2025 shows that overall confidence in the property market remains high at 85%, only slightly down from 86% in the previous quarter.
