In Bendor and Fauna Park the requests are double storey houses with a balcony, a double garage and a pool deck. Student rooms for letting near Mankweng and the University of Limpopo are another steady request.
Homes and buildings in Polokwane
Polokwane is a city of very different building worlds. Bendor, Flora Park, Welgelegen and Fauna Park have big plastered family houses with tiled roofs and pools, while the new estates off the N1 bypass and Thabo Mbeki Street carry their own design rules. Seshego, Mankweng and Moletjie are townships and traditional-authority areas where families extend houses room by room, and in the surrounding villages many want Venda-style or Sepedi homesteads with courtyard walls and thatched round rooms. Granite koppies and shallow rock appear on many stands. Draughtspersons are based in Bendor and the CBD and quote nationwide.
