Quality of urban area, making a case for staying outside town

Location can mean a different thing to different people depending on tastes and preferences but also advice is needed as most people may have no idea what it means.


While this remains very key to valuable real estate, without guidance and advice at times people lose out on the quality of urban area and today we’re here to look at staying or owning land and property outside town.


When you take an example of the look at Mbarara city, one may not feel comfortable with buying land on the edges of the city like in Masha, Isingiro district simply because the land is 1 or 2km from the city setting and the transaction does not have a mention of the city.

But what makes the difference? Is it just the this short distance that places this person outside the city that makes him or her reject owning land or property in this area or lack of advice?


True what may appeal to you may not largely matter to the other person but mostly the bottom line for quality urban areas is accessibility, appearances and social services like water, electricity, schools and health. Looking at the case of Mbarara, its entire neighborhood is all accessible, all these social services are available so one should not reject or feel uncomfortable to own property or land here this is possibly due lack of advice and guidance.


Also because of the high demand for rent, land and housing prices of owning property or land in the city center becomes very expensive. The closer to the city center the more you have to pay for this property. So buying land away from the city center may give you an opportunity to save some good money.


In addition to all this, because of the cheaper cost of housing and land acquisition away from the city center you can get more value for your money when you move outside the town. For example a plot of 50 by 100 in the town center here in Mbarara goes between Shs 50-100 million depending on the location but the same plot can be bought for Shs 3.5 million in Rukuba, Masaha in Isingiro district at the edges of Mbarara city.

This means that you can own 10 plots in Masha, where you can build your own house with a backyard, and even some rentals. You can also purchase farmland in the same area.


The cost of living in the city center may also be high unlike outside town. In the town center the pressure to be somebody is everywhere but when you move away not only do your costs become low but also you remove yourself from the high pressure mentality and give yourself to enjoy things within your means.


Even if you are not in position to buy land outside the town center at the moment, it’s easier to save for it by spending less on rent when you stay away outside town. It can also help you to save for other assets.

All in all you can save a lot of money if you move away from the city center in addition to cheaper cost of housing and get more value for your money when you live outside town, and At Amity Realtors Ltd we are your service in case your appeal is to own land and property outside the town/city especially in Mbarara.
