Property

Many of the older homes in Strand Central have been renovated. The area is walking distance to the beach and really is an ideal area for especially pensioners to live in - due to its close proximity to everything and the high percentage of the property which allows for a lock-up and go lifestyle. The average house prices vary between R800 000 & R1,2 million, with renovated properties already being marketed at up to R2,8 million.
