Social Housing in Conradie Park
Affordable estate living in the heart of Cape Town.
In the heart of Conradie Park, SA’s first fully integrated, mixed-income housing development, you will find Own Haven’s Conradie Park social housing blocks. Own Haven offers modern, comfortable and affordable living with 24-hour security to ensure that you, and your family and friends, enjoy a safe and happy environment. Located in Pinelands, on the corner of Jan Smuts Drive and Forest Drive Extension, Conradie Park is a short distance from Howard Shopping Centre, Mutual train station and Cape Town’s major transport routes.
Social Housing is a rental or co-operative housing option for households earning gross income between R1 850 – R22 000 per month. Government funding is provided to Social Housing Institutions who manage the rental units. You then pay a reduced rental amount based on your household income to the Social Housing Institution. To qualify for social housing in Cape Town, you need to be registered on the City of Cape Town’s Housing Needs Database.
