Positioned for active over-50s rather than frail care, Capri Village brings together coastal living, security and community in one of KZN’s most talked-about growth nodes. With over R400 million in transfers already concluded, it’s clear the market is backing lifestyle-led retirement on the North Coast.

Developer perspective - Devmco on what’s driving demand
“Today’s over-50s buyers are not just looking for a house, but homes that balance comfort, accessibility, and design while fostering a true sense of community,” says Pamela Naidu, Sales and Marketing Director of Devmco Realty.

“Capri Village delivers on all of these fronts, while being part of a precinct that is quickly establishing itself as a growth hotspot on the North Coast.”

Why Capri Village matters for senior living investors

‍The numbers and the location tell the story:

• South Africa’s over-50s cohort is expanding, and many are trading out of large family homes into secure coastal estates.
• The North Coast continues to attract semigration and “retire-to-lifestyle” buyers who want lock-up-and-go freedom with strong long-term value.
• Capri Village’s R400m-plus in transfers confirms that buyers are prepared to pay for integrated security, community and wellness – not just bricks and mortar.

As more units transfer and construction advances, Capri Village is reinforcing its position as a benchmark KZN senior living estate and an indicator of where the retirement market is heading:

• Smaller, smarter homes
• Better amenities
• Walkable, precinct-based living with built-in community

For investors and downsizers watching the senior living segment, Capri Village shows how lifestyle-first design, a strong precinct location and an expanding over-50s market can combine into a powerful long-term play.
