Low maintenance, low monthly costs, and everything on one level. This 72 square metre two bedroom apartment carries the lowest levy of the units currently available at R1 578,81 a month, with rates of R358,88. Add prepaid electricity and water, and the monthly picture becomes about as predictable as property gets.

Inside, it is a home that works without asking much of you. Two bedrooms, the main one with its own en-suite, plus a second full bathroom. The kitchen is newly renovated with a new gas hob and oven, which means you move in and start cooking rather than start renovating. Enough space to feel settled, small enough that a Saturday morning clean does not become a Saturday afternoon one.

Ground floor units let tenants and owners come and go easily, which keeps demand steady and vacancy periods short. Lock the door, go away for a long weekend, come back to a home that has looked after itself.
