Why Olympus offers everyone a perfect home
Category Suburb News
"The perfect place to enjoy a peaceful way of life."
That's how one Olympus resident recently described their suburb. The area, which was made up of smallholdings until relatively recently, lives up to expectations of serenity and an idyllic place to call home. While the area is renowned for its expansive mansions, there's good news for those looking for more compact, affordable homes: the CSi Property Group has an array of properties in sectional titles like Boardwalk Heights. For over-50s looking for an idyllic retirement, Bronberg Retirement Estate, with its safe walkways, swimming pools and 24-hour security, is an ideal home.

Families on a budget take note: for as little as R7 500 per month (in 2025), you can rent a neat, modern two-bedroom apartment in Boardwalk Heights.

If you secure a ground-floor unit, you'll also have easy access to a lovely lawn area for children to play in a safe environment.
