The kitchenette includes the essentials for modern living, positioned conveniently near the lounge area, while the bedroom offers privacy as a separate space. The bathroom, also detached from the main living area, comes fitted with a bathtub.

One of the standout attractions of the property is access to a communal pool area, a luxury not always associated with budget-friendly apartments. For many young professionals and first-time buyers, this adds lifestyle value to what is otherwise a simple, functional home.

With property prices often soaring in Gauteng, particularly in urban centres, a listing under R400,000 has naturally drawn significant interest. Online users have shared mixed reactions, with some praising the affordability and layout, while others questioned whether the compact space would be practical for long-term living.

Nevertheless, the apartment that was posted by @tebogon.realtor on TikTok on 14 August 2025 has highlighted the growing demand for affordable housing options in South Africa’s major provinces, where the balance between price, location, and lifestyle continues to shape the property market.
