Celebrating the news, Braam Zwart, the franchisee of Just Property Kroonstad, explained what makes his town special. \u201cLife in Kroonstad is all about savouring the small moments, putting yourself in your friend\u2019s shoes, helping a neighbour or colleague, and being part of a great community. I\u2019m thrilled that our town and its people have been recognised like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zwart points to the \u201cIgnite and Revive Kroonstad\u201d initiative, which he believes influenced voters. \u201cIt is a community project in cooperation with the municipality. We aim to restore Kroonstad to its place as the jewel in the Free State crown. Business owners and the public \u2018adopt\u2019 a circle or island, fix it up and maintain it for the year at their own expense and in their own time. We focus on working together to make Kroonstad great and taking pride in where we live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The perfect place to bring up kids<br \/>Situated midway between Johannesburg and Bloemfontein, close to Welkom and other bigger towns, Kroonstad is the third largest town in the Free State, yet it boasts a rural, peaceful lifestyle. \u201cThanks to the low crime rate here, many properties still have open yards with no fencing,\u201d explains Just Property Sales Practitioner Hester Viljoen. \u201cAnd as agents who market properties in every area of our town, we can vouch for the fact that this is a very safe place to live and conduct business. Almost everyone knows everyone. The people here are very, very friendly and always willing to assist a visitor or neighbour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a great place to bring up children,\u201d Hester\u2019s colleague Sanet Gericke adds. \u201cThere\u2019s a wide spectrum of schooling and prominent colleges satisfying a variety of educational needs, from academics to farming and technology, etc. The highlight is the annual Bokkieweek where schools from Cape Town to Musina compete in rugby, hockey and netball matches, cheered on by thousands of spectators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just Property rental practitioner Shaun Proudfoot agrees. \u201cThere\u2019s so much to do here. There are still wide open spaces and reserves like Boskoppie and the White Lion Project, with incredible views to enjoy. Serfontein Dam is a favourite for skiing, and many families enjoy fishing on the Vals River and Bloemhoek Dam. There\u2019s a popular golf course too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hot Property<br \/>Three shopping centres and a mall serve the community, with applications being processed for further commercial development. \u201cKroonstad being the town of the year has sparked lots of interest from outsiders wanting to move here,\u201d says Zwart. \u201cDue to increasing demand, the average price of properties has increased rapidly, but the cost of living remains lower than other towns or cities in the area. While R1m might buy a flat in big cities, it could still get you a mansion in Kroonstad!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKroonstad proved itself to be a great \u2018remote working\u2019 location, being around two hours\u2019 drive from JHB and Bloemfontein,\u201d adds Sindiswa Jacobs, a rental and sales practitioner with Just Property Kroonstad. \u201cAs a result, rental properties have been in very high demand since the start of Covid-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just Property Kroonstad has always focused on being accessible for property advice and educating the community on property investment since it was founded in 2007. \u201cEven if the client decides to deal with someone else, we are still here to assist and guide,\u201d Zwart explains. \u201cThis mission has helped to improve the lives and lifestyles of many of our clients down the years to help them make informed decisions. Buying property can be stressful \u2013 we take the hassle out of the rental or sales process for our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The franchise epitomises the values and vision of the fast-growing Just Property brand. As Zwart says, \u201cJust Property is not just a company \u2013 it is a home!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And for Zwart and his team, home could not be in a lovelier place than South Africa\u2019s Dorp van die Jaar, the friendly, caring town of Kroonstad.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Just Property, please visit www.just.property or call (087) 583 3333.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">134<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/why-is-demand-for-property-rising-in-kroonstad\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
