Alexandra Cottages

Alexandra Cottages is a rental complex that provides safe, comfortable housing for persons over the age of 60..We manage 12 complexes for older persons (529 units) across the city. These are self-catering units, and tenants have to be able-bodied and not in need of frail care. The persons can be single or in a relationship with no dependents. They can access a unit by applying via the City Database. Applicants are subject to the National and City eligibility criteria. The Human Settlements Directorate determines who is admitted. The complexes are supervised by an Area Manager who takes care of building maintenance as and when required by tenants, with the City providing all other essential services. Occupants pay rent according to the individual’s income.There are 18 single self-catering rental units at Alexandra Cottages.
