Why Investors and Retirees Love Maisonettes

The golden years are about quality of life and that often means downsizing smartly. Maisonettes offer the best of both worlds: affordability and elegance, privacy and connection, freedom and security.

‍

“Maisonettes are now among the most in-demand options in retirement estates,” says Barto van der Merwe, MD of Renishaw Property Developments. “They offer aesthetic appeal without compromising on practicality.”

‍

Here’s why investors and retirees alike are turning to maisonettes:

1. Single-Storey Simplicity – No stairs means safer living and easy mobility.
2. Lock-Up-and-Go Convenience – Garden services and maintenance are included.
3. Privacy Without Isolation – Independent units with shared walls but separate entrances.
4. Indoor-Outdoor Living – Covered verandas and communal green spaces.
5. Modern Comforts – Fibre, inverters, premium fittings.
6. Affordability & Flexibility – More cost-effective than freestanding homes, with long-term investment upside.
7. Rental and Resale Appeal – Strong demand from retirees, short-term tenants, and second-home buyers.
