@luxliving_Realtor responded to the above comment:

“Hi Nolly, the houses are full title, meaning you can install your pool. With regards to trees, the estate is fairly new, so all the trees are still small. There are street names and house numbers .”

@mandyy.ngcobo fell in love with the dreamy homes:

“I would never have a bad day ever again.”

@Tshiamo_ requested a house tour:

“It’s perfect for my little family. Please show us the rooms upstairs.”

@Lebo Sathekge sighed:

“The way I dream of living in Baltimore. My bank probably laughs at me every time.”

@Top-tier🌸 shared:

“I’ve been there for viewing, it’s beautiful; however, the bedrooms are a bit small, and the backyard is also a bit small unless you get the corner house.”
