Cashan is calling you! An inside look at this popular suburb

Although its name means "town of rest", Rustenburg is bustling. In 2023, Lightstone revealed that it boasted the most property sales in the North West. Going through the area, you'll find plenty of gems. But one suburb shines brightly. Cashan stands out with an enticing mix of affordable properties, an appealing lifestyle, and accessible amenities. It's unsurprising the area has seen a spike in interest from families, professionals, and retirees after the good life. 

Enter a vibrant real estate market 

The property offerings are varied, giving you plenty of options for your unique needs. Lightstone data shows that 42% of market stock are sectional title units, perfect if you're after secure, hassle-free living. 33% is freehold if you need a larger home and the freedom to renovate. 24% comprises freeholds in estates which offers the best of both worlds. 

At present, 28% of Cashan's recent buyers are 18-35 years old and 57% are aged 36-49. The area is ideal for joining like-minded first-time buyers and those after a forever home to raise children in safe, nurturing surroundings. If you have your eyes on a sound investment, Cashan has also displayed great resilience despite market challenges. Between 2022 and 2023, the median price of sectional titles rose by 10.5% to R1,099,000 and vacant land jumped by 6.6% to R710,000. The price of Cashan's freehold properties remained steady at R2,100,000. 

Properties within your price range

The beauty of Cashan is that it boasts a wide range of properties for all tastes but also all pockets. For R515,000, you can buy vacant land to build your dream home. The Rustenburg suburb's panoramic views of picturesque landscapes and amenities on your doorstep make it an easy choice for putting down roots. 

A two-bedroom apartment starts at roughly R550,000 and can give you a step up on the property ladder. Features like open-plan living spaces and security features like CCTV, gate control, and 24-hour patrol also promise a desirable lifestyle. A three-bedroom townhouse can be found at R986,000 and comes with a modern design, a low-maintenance garden for the kids or pets to play in, and a spacious garage. 

Cashan's new housing options include Badgers Retreat, an exclusive development in the heart of the suburb. Starting from only R925,000, you can choose between an array of two and three-bedroom units designed for your comfort and convenience. Badgers Retreat boasts built-in braai facilities, three dedicated kiddies' play areas, a borehole and an emergency reservoir tank, and 24-hour security. 

Have your pick of amenities

Besides Cashan's budget-friendly property offerings, its prime location is a major drawcard. As a resident, you don't have to drive far to enjoy the area's amenities and attractions. 

Popular nearby schools include the Laerskool Rustenburg, Waterfall Christian Academy, Hoërskool Rustenburg, Selly Park Secondary School, and Da Silva Academy. When it comes to ticking off your shopping list, Greystone Crossing, Mountain View Square, Platinum Square Shopping Centre, and Waterfall Mall are just a stone's throw away.
