 Once again, we're talking property this morning on your feel good breakfast show now buying the house of your dreams that's situated in the Perfect neighborhood. Well, let's just be honest. It can be a very daunting task But luckily for you private property launch their brand-new neighborhoods campaign And they're taking you through all of those perfect neighborhoods that you can expect from South Africa this morning We joined by Simon Bray CEO of private property to talk about to belito Is this the neighborhood for you Simon lovely to have you with us back in studio again good to be back Yeah, man belito epic holiday destination for myself, especially with my you know growing up at Johannesburg Mid-year breaks, you know July June July school holidays. How are we going to belito? But why is it a good neighborhood to consider in terms of living? I think what you just said there is exactly the reason that we've embarked on this neighborhoods project a private property this idea of Showcasing what a neighborhood has to offer Because a lot of South Africans have built stereotypes around their own experiences, you know for me as well growing up in Johannesburg Belito and Schlange those areas were always holiday areas, you know, you'd go down to the hotels You'd go down to the the accommodation then you'd enjoy a couple of weeks of fun in the sun Belito has grown into so much more than that So the neighborhoods project on private property seeks to answer a lot of other questions around neighborhoods that people are perhaps not thinking about as Actively as they would so when you think belito, of course, you know, there's the beach There's this beautiful north coast lifestyle. There's this feeling of great weather I mean you virtually in the tropics there. So it's a great place to spend a particularly winter There's a lot more that started to happen there's obviously these greater states that have opened up and each of them offer an element of lifestyle or community that is hard to find elsewhere in case it in and Shopping centers popping up all over the place. So there's a good growth story good development story there as well All right So when of course looking at buying your house need to consider the neighborhood where it's situated But also the type of people that live in this neighborhood. Are you gonna fit in nicely as well? Are you gonna enjoy it? So who will we kind of find living in belito? There's a great mix actually there's obviously the belito residents that have been there for years And there's a there's a sense of small town feel that's still there Which I think attracts some people to the area, but a great move of young Durban families north There's the safety and security in particular that the estates up there offer And that's drawing a lot of young Durban families out of the traditional Durban suburbs further north And it's achievable because the access to Durban if you if you work in Durban or I'm Schlunger There's still easy access from belito. It's only a half an hour drive Which you know in the context of of Durban locals is a long way, but in the context of of nationally It's it's actually a short commute. So you're seeing a lot of young families, but you're also seeing an interesting trend where Joburg businessmen not choosing to base their families down in belito and work in job You know the commutes not that far airports just around the corner. Are you serious? I mean, is that even possible to do that? No, it's a fascinating thing and and you're actually seeing this sort of train pop up around the world I saw an interesting tweet online this this week a guy that works in London Was looking at London apartments London rentals and of course those are crazy expensive And he did the numbers and it made sense to actually live in Barcelona and work in London so he now commutes from Barcelona to London every day and Similarly you're seeing that in in South Africa guys are basing their families as I said in belito There's great schools. There's great lifestyle the kids get a different type of lifestyle to to growing up in Johannesburg And you can still work in Johannesburg quite easily I mean the commuters a 45-minute flight and then hop in a car and and so it's feasible to Work three four days in a business in Joburg and still live down on the coast I think that's definitely something to consider when you are buying your house specifically You know thinking about belito being such a nice area now Property-wise what can we expect? It's a great mix again. I think it's still a value market There's been a lot of growth in some of the up-end of the market particularly estates like Some bt and of course some barley those are up market estates for sure And and you're gonna pay anything between four and six million ran for a nice house there But there's still value on the other end of the market You've got complexes and smaller estates that are offering two three-bedroom homes at great prices And that's that's what's driving a lot of the growth in the area. Joch if only belita was closer to Cape Town Well, but I mean let's talk about that. I mean labor that's pretty similar I mean if you if you like the belita lifestyle and what it offers anywhere else inside I figured that we can find a similar kind of vibe You know, it's it's tough to match neighborhood with neighborhood We've we've attempted to do it on the website through a cool lifestyle filter So it makes connections between neighborhoods that are perhaps disconnected geographically, but Belito's got a unique vibe It's got that small-town feel that great coastal weather if you had to consider its similarities with other Areas of the country certainly the growth is a similarity with some of the areas in the country Belito is the fastest-growing municipality in South Africa right now So, you know, you're seeing massive infrastructure development shopping centers growth in the residential property market So similar neighborhoods would be places like four ways in Johannesburg, Centurion just outside of Pretoria and perhaps For that beachy feel and Schlunger's also got its own growth story. Yeah, all right.
