The new Steyn City Senior Village represents a drastic departure from the usual models available to people entering their golden years. Steyn City offers a lifestyle rooted in connection, independence, and active minds and bodies. Unlike traditional retirement communities, residents live among people of all ages. This dynamic, multigenerational environment encourages meaningful interactions and shared experiences that enrich daily life. Whether or not you have family on the estate, you remain at the heart of a vibrant community, living among younger generations and staying actively connected.
“We are truly excited to present this forward-thinking development,” says Steven Louw, CEO of Steyn City Properties. “We believe our Senior Village is a natural home for people who wish to make the most out of every moment.”

Apartment Homes Designed for Comfort and Accessibility
This beautiful development is located in City Centre. The apartment homes distinguish themselves by tall ceilings, wide passages and bedrooms large enough to accommodate king size beds. A number of apartments have adapted for those with impaired mobility. Extended homes feature a hobby room or home office. These new 100 apartments are on offer, with underground parking available. There is also on-site storage for those additional items like a golf cart, bicycles, trailer, and an additional vehicle.
A Lifestyle of Wellness and Independence
Steyn City provides residents with a wide range of facilities. It allows them to pursue their favourite leisure activities with complete peace of mind. It offers extensive safety and security measures – and the Senior Village is no different.
The development aims to encourage residents to live a full, independent life for as long as possible. Many of its amenities focus on promoting wellbeing. The Hydro Centre offers a wheelchair-accessible heated pool, spa bath, sauna, steam room, fitness centre, and a studio for Pilates, yoga and dance. The Senior Village Lifestyle Centre includes the Sky Bar and Lounge, a coffee pause area and several recreation rooms. Here, you will also find Paputzis restaurant – ideal for meeting up with family and friends.
Soon, Steyn City will welcome lawn bowls, a Sorbet salon, GP suites with a physiotherapist and a biokineticist, and a pharmacy.
World-Class Facilities at Your Doorstep
Senior Village residents are also welcome to make use of the numerous facilities on Steyn City’s estate, many offered at discounting senior user prices. These include the renowned 18-hole Nicklaus Design championship golf course with its award-winning clubhouse, a number of restaurants and coffee shops, the indoor aquatic centre, and the Lagoon precinct with water sports, fitness centres, and racquet sports.
There’s also the 45km floodlit promenade. It is perfect for a walk with the dog or a stroll at any hour. It also to connect with nature and admire the prolific birdlife, as well as a 50km custom-designed MTB track.
The City Centre boasts its own attractions in the form of retailers and an art gallery, along with essentials like PostNet and a laundry service. Features like play nodes mean that grandparents can take an active part in their grandchildren’s lives.
The estate further hosts the magnificent Steyn City Hotel by Saxon, part of the Leading Hotels of the World, and the soon-to-be-launched Saxon Spa. Meanwhile, a well-appointed shared workspace provides a conducive environment for those who take on occasional work and meetings with longstanding professional contacts.

Levels of care that promote independent living
To ensure that residents receive all the care they need, Steyn City has partnered with TOTALCARE, a renowned healthcare provider. The company offers three levels of care:
Primary Healthcare Services provide residents with ongoing health assessments and general support from a Village Nurse, helping them maintain current health levels. Lifestyle Living encourages residents to take part in diverse activities to bolster their physical and mental wellbeing. It offers Home Based Care, where a carer provides service for a required number of hours, overseeing tasks such as bathing and administering medication. A 23-bed Frail Care Facility offers extra care or post-operative care to those who require it. Laundry, cleaning and daily meals are available to all residents as optional services.

On-site emergency response
Furthermore, the estate boasts its own onsite emergency response vehicles and trained personnel. It is including an Emergency Fire Response vehicle and ambulance service, so that urgent medical or safety assistance, is minutes away. The estate’s own helistop means that residents can be airlifted to a specific medical facility should the need arise.
The Life Right Model
Apartments are available for purchase through a Life Right Model. Steyn City Properties (the owner) buys back the apartment from the Life Right Holder at a guaranteed price within six months of it no longer being occupied, unless it has already been purchased by another investor. This convenient model ensures liquidity for the buyer or the buyer’s estate.
This model also removes the hassle of daily and monthly maintenance for residents, as these costs are included in the levy structure. The Life Right Holder does not need to worry about rates and taxes, as these are covered by Steyn City Properties.
All that remains is to enjoy everything this stage of life has to offer.
The Senior Village apartment homes are priced from R1.9 million. To enquire about this premium address, contact Steyn City / Pam Golding Properties sales team on 010 597 1040 or 082 800 9500. Visit www.steyncity.co.za
