What gets put up around Benoni
Lakes and smallholdings set Benoni apart from the rest of the East Rand. Owners on plots in Putfontein, Benoni AH and Rynfield AH put up staff rooms, timber cottages and stables, and lakeside homes in Lakefield and Farrarmere ask for pool houses, garden offices and granny flats. Daveyton and Etwatwa have a large market for nutec rental rooms and second units on township stands. Crystal Park and Northmead mix both. Board yards and erectors work out of the industrial areas near the N12 and in Apex, and many also cover Brakpan. Summer storms on this part of the Highveld carry heavy hail and lightning, and frost gathers by the lakes on still winter mornings.
Typical granny flats requests in the area come from:
- Backyard landlords and families: a 1 or 2 bedroom unit on the plot let out for steady monthly rent
- Homeowners: a cottage behind the main house for an elderly parent or a grown child
- Farms and smallholdings: a small cottage for a farm manager or family near the main farmhouse
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a small consulting room or office unit beside a house, where zoning allows it
