Safe Vanderbijlpark will make you feel right at home

Category Area Info

When looking to buy or rent property, there's a lot to consider before you make a decision: affordability, proximity to amenities, and the lifestyle on offer. Perhaps, the most important factor of all is safety. With reports of crime on the news and social media, which is a great place to keep your family and possessions safe? The answer is the Vanderbijlpark area. It offers an active police force, engaged community watch, and security-feature rich properties to give you peace of mind.

Vanderbijlpark SAPS

Thanks to the local police, Vanderbijlpark has remained a relatively safe area in Gauteng. They play an important role in keeping a watchful eye on the community, investigating crimes, bringing offenders to justice, and working with community watches and businesses to prevent crime. SAPS Vanderbijlpark police station, in particular, is known for its service.

"The police here always treat you with respect," says Demi Heyneke. "They are fair, and if you are patient and work with them then everything will go a little bit faster."

Vanderbijlpark Community Policing Forum (CPF)

CPFs play an important role in ensuring police serve effectively, assisting police, patrolling, and providing a platform for people to discuss crime prevention initiatives. Vanderbijlpark has a vibrant local CPF that helps keep the community informed and engaged with crime prevention. Members have made headlines for helping to foil cable theft, putting out fires at accident scenes, and spreading important messages. 

Vanderbijlpark's secure properties

While it's important to ensure your future home is comfortable, also take time to search for a property with all the right safety and security features. In Vanderbijlpark, you'll find a range of properties for sale and to let with everything you need to stay protected. Here are some of the common features highlighted on property listings:

Alarm systems: When someone breaks in, your alarm system activates, driving them off and alerting your security company. It will also help reduce your monthly home insurance premiums. 

CCTV cameras: Not only does this help you monitor your property, but it acts as a visual deterrent and a crucial way of identifying intruders in your home. 

Beams: An outdoor perimeter security will help you pinpoint an intruder before they even reach your house. A professional can help with installation and strategic placements. 

Electric fencing: Often the first line of defence for your home, electric fencing is worth every rand. It's easy to install, maintain, and can repel trespassers who want to avoid a shock. 

Access gate: A sturdy gate offers more than just curb appeal. It can keep away unwelcomed visitors and prevent animals and children from leaving the property. 

24-hour guard post: A common security feature in complexes, having a trained guard working round the clock can give you a sense of ease. 

Trellidor security: From its iconic sliding door, burglar bars, to shutters, Trellidor has created a range of burglar-proofing products. You can find these in a number of secure Vanderbijlpark homes. 

Security lighting: A brightly lit outside area is a fantastic way to deter burglars and help your security team catch anyone who tries their luck on your property. Look for properties with motion-sensor lighting to save on energy costs. 

Intercom: This is a powerful way to screen tenants without them knowing who might be at home. As a sophisticated device, it can also intimidate criminals before they make an attempt on your property. 

Remote garage door: A remote-controlled garage door offers convenience. But, it also makes it safer for you to enter and exit your garage. Opening with a control also makes a break-in harder.

While these are just a snapshot of safety features, you should talk to your property practitioner if you have any others in mind. They can also put you in touch with security experts in Vanderbijlpark that can help you adapt your future home into your ideal safe haven.
