House designs in Kempton Park: local notes
Many Tembisa and Ivory Park owners build a double storey house with a ground floor shop or rental rooms upstairs, and the plan has to carry stairs, a separate meter and a legal fire escape. In Glen Marais and Birch Acres, buyers prefer open-plan four-bedroom houses with a pool and a braai area. Narrow stands make a courtyard layout worth asking about.
Homes and buildings in Kempton Park
Kempton Park sits around OR Tambo International Airport, so aircraft noise, height limits and cargo warehouses shape what gets built. Glen Marais, Bonaero Park and Birch Acres have mid-century houses with big stands and many extensions, Van Riebeeck Park and Rhodesfield are older and busier, and Tembisa to the north is dense with backyard rooms and double storey rental blocks. Chloorkop and Spartan hold light industry and guest accommodation for airport travellers. Plans are mostly extensions, rental units and commercial fit-outs, drawn by local draughtspersons and a few Edenvale architects.
