Housing is a mix: estates on the slopes of Meyersdal and the Klipriviersberg ridge, family homes in Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and New Redruth, and growing extension work in Thokoza and Palm Ridge. Estate homes favour face brick and high plastered walls, while Thokoza families add rooms and rental units in cement bricks.

Summer storms here are heavy and run off the ridge quickly, and winter mornings bring frost to the low ground near the Natalspruit.
