Making the most of your property budget in Olympus

If you are looking for a home in Pretoria East that combines convenience, security and a desirable lifestyle, Olympus is well worth considering. From relatively affordable apartments to retirement properties and modern developments, the suburb offers a range of options for different budgets. Current listings on the CSi Property Group website show that there are plenty of opportunities for both buyers and tenants, making now an ideal time to consider Olympus as your next home.

What can you buy in Olympus?

For buyers, Olympus offers an appealing entry point into the Pretoria East property market. Current listings include two-bedroom apartments for less than R800 000. Many of these two-bedroom units offer between 47m² and 54m² of living space, and boast features like effortless layouts, modern galley kitchens and various on-site amenities. In complexes like Boardwalk Heights, you’ll find top-tier security as well as family-friendly features like kids’ play areas and communal braai areas. The security features on offer include 24-hour patrolling guards, biometric access control and CCTV monitoring.

These homes are also equipped for smart savings, with solar geysers, prepaid electricity and prepaid water meters. The Boardwalk Heights complex is right next to the 90-hectare Hedianga Farm, which is ideal for walking, jogging and mountain biking.

At the upper end of the current apartment market in Olympus, two-bedroom retirement units of around 65m² are listed at approximately R1.25 million in Bronberg Retirement Estate. Residents of Bronberg get to make the most of a range of social activities, communal facilities and services, which make it easy to stay active, meet new friends and enjoy a wonderful retirement. The estate also has frail care, assisted living and healthcare support for those who need it. Those with a bigger budget who need more space can buy or rent a three-bedroom unit in Bronberg.

What can you rent in Olympus?

Renting provides another way to enjoy Olympus without the upfront financial commitment of buying. Current CSi listings show two-bedroom apartments in Boardwalk Heights starting at around R7 800 per month. Those looking to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Bronberg Retirement Village will find homes from approximately R8 800 per month.

For tenants, renting also offers greater flexibility, making it an attractive option for those who may not be ready to commit to a property purchase or who want to experience the area before buying. It also means avoiding the substantial upfront costs associated with purchasing a home, such as a deposit, transfer costs and other transaction expenses. For retirees or those relocating to Pretoria, renting can provide an opportunity to enjoy Olympus's amenities and convenient location while keeping the option to move or reassess their housing needs in the future.

The value of calling Olympus home

The real value of living in Olympus goes beyond the price of the property itself. As one of Pretoria East's most desirable suburbs, Olympus puts residents close to everyday amenities, quality schools, shopping and major routes, helping make every rand go further.

Olympus Village provides convenient access to essentials, with retailers including Checkers and Woolworths alongside restaurants and specialist stores. There are also reputable schools nearby, including Maragon Olympus Primary School, Kingdom Preparatory School and Abbotts College Pretoria East.

Ultimately, Olympus offers something increasingly difficult to find: a desirable Pretoria East address with property options to suit a range of budgets.
