Town Square
Who Town Square suits: and who it doesn't
Town Square is Nshama's volume value play: apartments and townhouses around a central square, skate park and cinema, priced for first-time buyers the inner communities priced out. It suits exactly them — young families entering ownership — and yield investors in the apartment blocks. It doesn't suit buyers expecting premium finishes or short commutes. What to watch: relentless new phase releases compete with your resale; the townhouse rows age better than the apartment stock. , Equity Edge analyst note
