What to know locally in Benoni
Smallholding families look for farm-style houses with a wide stoep and a separate flat for staff or relatives, while Rynfield and Northmead homeowners add a bedroom wing or a granny flat in the back garden. In Lakefield, buyers choose a three-bedroom with a double garage and a modern flat roof. Ask how the roof falls and drains, since heavy afternoon storms load gutters here.
Homes and buildings in Benoni
Benoni is the lake town of the East Rand: older suburbs such as Northmead, Rynfield and Farrarmere have large stands with mature trees, Lakefield and Crystal Park hold newer family houses, and the smallholdings at Putfontein and Benoni AH carry sheds, stables and extra dwellings. Owners often ask for a second storey on a 1970s house, a granny flat for a parent, or a plan to subdivide a large erf. Daveyton and Etwatwa have their own mix of extended RDP houses and backyard rooms. Draughtspersons are spread through the suburbs and mostly work on residential jobs.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
