Popular retirement villages in Gauteng

Gauteng is well known as South Africa's hub of commercial activity and a popular home for those climbing the corporate ladder. The province deserves to be equally well known for the wealth of convenience and ideal homes that it offers retirees. The CSi Property Group takes a look at what three different retirement villages in various areas of Gauteng have to offer. We are proud to introduce Centurion's Eldoraigne Retirement Village, Sandton's Douglasdale Retirement Village and Featherbrooke Hills Retirement Village in Krugersdorp.

Everything on offer at Eldoraigne Retirement Village

Eldoraigne Retirement Village offers not just a retirement home, but a way of life. A variety of units - from one-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom simplexes - are on offer to accommodate everybody's needs and make sure that moving into a retirement village doesn't mean downsizing unless you are ready to take that step. As well as catering for the needs of residents who are still active and independent, there are also facilities for those requiring more assistance with day-to-day tasks.

Your senior years should never be lonely, and Eldoraigne Retirement Village has a social committee that organises outings and market days as well as religious services. Over and above a dining hall and frail care centre, Eldoraigne Retirement Village's service centre boasts a communal lounge, library and recreational hall. Various facilities - including a beauty salon, convenience store and laundry services - ensure that your retirement years can be enjoyed the convenient way.

The best of Sandton for over-50s

Douglasdale Retirement Village offers an assortment of apartments, complete with full kitchens, open plan lounge/bedroom areas and spacious bathrooms. Commonly referred to by residents simply as "The Village", Douglasdale Retirement Village boasts a peaceful ambience and a wildlife sanctuary. There are plenty of opportunities for safe nature walks and birdwatching. There is also 24-hour security and full access control, meaning that you can enjoy your retirement years without any security concerns. Thanks to a dining room serving delicious meals three times a day, you'll never have to cook again if you don't want to.

As is the case at Eldoraigne Retirement Village, Douglasdale accommodates those still able to care for themselves as well as those requiring some regular assistance. There is a mid-care facility as well as a fully equipped frail care facility and an on-site doctor with consulting rooms. The facilities on offer also include a hair and beauty salon and a shuttle service that makes regular trips to local shopping centres and other points of interest.

An idyllic retirement in Krugersdorp

There is a whole host of factors that makes Featherbrooke Hills Retirement Village in Krugersdorp a great choice for those looking to buy or rent a home for their retirement years.  For starters, the development offers options to suit every retiree or family, including one-bedroom apartments and two or three-bedroom townhouses.

There is a frail care facility and restaurant, as well as round-the-clock security and access control to give residents peace of mind from every perspective. Residents love the fact that there's also a cake and coffee shop, community activity hall and plenty of opportunities to live an active and social life. A shuttle service gives residents regular opportunities to visit nearby shopping centres like Cradlestone Mall, Clearwater Mall and Featherview Shopping Centre.
