Roodepoort notes on house designs
Smallholding owners in Honeydew and Muldersdrift's edge often want a farmhouse with a wide stoep, a scullery and a flat for a worker or relative, set well back from the road. In Wilgeheuwel, young families build compact three-bedroom homes on 450 square metre stands in complexes. Florida's older owners favour modest two-bedroom houses or granny flats, designed to be easy for a retired couple to live in.
Homes and buildings in Roodepoort
Roodepoort stretches along the western Witwatersrand ridges, and its housing ranges widely. Florida, Wilro Park and Little Falls have 1960s and 1970s family houses that owners keep extending, while Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel and Constantia Kloof hold newer estates and larger plots near the Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden. Honeydew has smallholdings, and Weltevredenpark and Radiokop mix houses with townhouses. Soweto's northern edge and Princess township are not far away, adding demand for backyard rooms. Some Roodepoort ground sits above old mine workings or dolomite, so soil checks are common in some areas. Plans are drawn by local draughtspersons, technologists and architects who quote directly.
