Tired of living with crime and traffic, South Africans are increasingly looking
at the smaller, rural towns as a permanent residential option. And there are
many valid reasons for them to do so. So says Mike Bester, CEO of Realty
1 International Property Group, whose regional offices are now regularly
reporting stronger activity in the outlying areas.“Not only is crime far less prevalent in the smaller centers”, said Bester, “but people moving to rural areas enjoy a less stressful lifestyle, wonderful scenery and greater personal freedoms than they do in the towns.
And the lifestyle is a bonus, says Bester. “The fact that in the smaller towns people know each other by first names means greater community spirit. It’s a more positive way of life for children to grow up in.”
