Park Drive Village is a retirement village on the Baakens Valley greenbelt in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). According to the home's website, it has been a haven for retirees since 1990. Residents live in wooden bay-windowed homes: single suites, one-bedroom units, two-bedroom units and top floor apartments. Homes are available on a life right loan scheme or for rent, with a limited number of units for rent. Meals are served in the dining room or delivered to the door, and a mini-bus takes residents to nearby shopping centres and outings. The grounds have a braai area, a community centre with a dining room and lounge, a library and a hairdresser. Home care, assisted living and a small frail care facility with round-the-clock nursing are offered on site.
Typical costs for retirement villages in South Africa
We do not have Park Drive Retirement Village’s own fees. As a general guide:
Costs vary widely: life rights purchases range from R500,000 to R5,000,000+, with monthly levies of R3,000–R10,000. Rental villages charge R5,000–R25,000/month depending on location and unit size.
These are typical South African ranges for this type of care, not this home’s prices. Actual fees vary by room type, level of care, and area, and they change every year - always confirm current rates with the home.
