The appeal of Constantia
“Apart from the undeniable beauty of the area, it’s the ideal location for exercise enthusiasts, from walkers and dog lovers, to hikers, runners, mountain bikers and even equestrians, as Constantia is home to abundant stretches of protected greenbelt,” says Mike Greeff, CEO of Greeff Properties, an exclusive Affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. “The entire Constantia Valley is also home to a fiercely protective property owners’ association committed to preserving the area’s historic value and rustic features,” he adds. “From a security point of view, Constantia Upper is leading the way in its collaboration with private security companies, SAPS and neighbourhood watches involved in a massive and concerted crime-lowering initiative which has only increased the demand for real estate in the area,” says Greeff, whose company supports and sponsors Constantia Crime Watch.
Security is a top priority
“CCTV cameras and thermal imaging equipment (which makes night vision possible) are employed extensively by the crime prevention initiatives, and these provide essential evidence which has lead to numerous arrests,” says Constantia Crime Watch Chairman Mike Voortman. He added that crime watches throughout the Constantia Valley have now joined forces under the umbrella of the Constantia Valley Watches Association (CVWA). Participants include: BKM, Constantia, Constantia Hills, Golf Links, Nova Constantia, Plumstead and Southfield. “The association aims to improve measures that deter crime through shared intelligence, resources and collective effort,” says Voortman, adding that the constant presence of patrolling resident community volunteers, plus the vital financial support from the private residents and local businesses is proving to be invaluable. “The crime watch efforts are spreading a powerful and effective net to deter crime in the Constantia Valley and ensure that it remains a safe haven for residents – the results are really heartening,” concludes Greeff.
