We have young children and get the impression that modern developments are better suited for young professionals than children. Is this wrong?

A:Each development will likely have a

certain target market

in mind but they can often be redesigned to meet user needs. In our projects, we try to cater to a mix of user types.

Safety and security

in apartment blocks is one of the key drivers for young families, plus the proximity to many amenities for the family.

– Jacques van Embden, managing director at Blok

A:You get this impression for a reason. Trust yourself.

– Stephen Porteous, SDP Consulting

A:Depending on the area, we are seeing a lot of modern apartments, such as those aimed at

micro-living

and co-living, being far more geared to the younger market but when you look at a lot of the other sectional title developments, especially those which are within estates or precincts, they are geared towards family living.
