Students make Potchefstroom one of the busiest towns in the province for backyard rooms and garden flats. Owners near the university campus and in Van der Hoff Park and Baillie Park add nutec rooms, steel frame flats and wendy houses to let, while landlords in Ikageng, Promosa and Mohadin build rooms for workers and families.
