El Patio 1 Compound New Cairo

El Patio 1 Compound New Cairo: ready twin houses opposite El Rehab

El Patio 1 Compound New Cairo is the first compound in the El Patio series by La Vista Developments, on the Mohamed Naguib axis opposite El Rehab City. The compound is delivered and lived in, and the recorded units are twin houses of 540 to 560 m², some fully finished and some furnished.

There is no developer price on record with us, so buying here means resale from owners. The recorded sizes are very large for a twin house, so the first thing to confirm is whether that figure is the built area or the land area, because that difference changes the whole calculation. Let us go step by step.

Who is El Patio 1 for?

A family that wants to move into a large house now

The compound is running and the twin houses are ready. You view today and move in once the paperwork is done.

A very large family

There is a furnished 560 m² seven-bedroom twin house, a very rare size in New Cairo.

Someone working in Heliopolis or Nasr City

Heliopolis and Nasr City are about 10 minutes away, rare for a compound of houses in New Cairo.

Someone who wants El Rehab's services without its crowds

El Rehab's markets, schools and malls are minutes away, while you live in a quiet compound opposite.

Units in El Patio 1: three layouts of almost the same size

• Four-bedroom twin house: 540 m², 3 bathrooms, fully finished.
• Three-bedroom twin house: 560 m², 5 bathrooms, fully finished.
• Seven-bedroom twin house: 560 m², 4 bathrooms, furnished.

Almost the same size with very different layouts. Three bedrooms with five bathrooms means large rooms each with its own bathroom, a luxury home for a small family. Seven bedrooms suits a large family or more than one generation. Four bedrooms sits in between. Choose the layout by how many will live with you, not just by price.

Three bedrooms with five bathrooms, or four with three?

The 560 m² three-bedroom twin house has 5 bathrooms, so every room has its own, plus a guest bathroom and more, and the rooms themselves are spacious. That is a home for a small family wanting luxury and generous space. The 540 m² four-bedroom has only 3 bathrooms, so more rooms but shared bathrooms. If you have older children, the four-bedroom is more practical. If you host many guests and want each with their own bathroom, the three-bedroom.

540 m²: built area or land?

A twin house of 540 or 560 m² is very large. In the new El Patio projects, twin houses run from 225 to 274 m² built. So the recorded area here is most likely the land, or the building with its garden, not the building alone. Ask for both figures exactly: the land area, the built area and the garden area. Because the price per metre you compare with will differ greatly depending on which figure it is.

A price reference: new El Patio twin houses

To give you a reference, these are twin house prices in the developer's new El Patio projects:

• El Patio Town Side: a 225 m² three-bedroom twin house at 31,880,000, handed over 2030.
• El Patio Town: a 274 m² three-bedroom twin house from 48 million, handed over 2028.

These are off-plan units on instalments. A twin house in El Patio 1 is ready, lived in and older, so compare on the built area itself, add the value of moving in now, and deduct the cost of any renovation a house that has stood for years needs.

An older house in a mature compound: what you gain

• Mature gardens: the trees and planting in older compounds look nothing like new ones.
• Known neighbours: you can ask and find out who lives around you before buying.
• Working services: no promises, everything is in front of you.
• Location: older compounds are often closer to the heart of the city than new ones.

And what to watch

• The house's condition: a house years old may need work on plumbing, electrics and insulation.
• Design: older layouts may differ from today's taste.
• Maintenance: find out who manages the compound and the annual maintenance charges.

Renovating an older house: how to count it

When you buy a house that has stood for years, the price you pay the owner is not the last cost. Take an engineer or contractor to view with you, and ask for a written estimate of any renovation needed: plumbing, electrics, insulation, kitchen and bathrooms. Then add that estimate to the house's price, and compare the total with a new house of the same size. Sometimes the old house, renovated, comes out better value, and sometimes not.

North New Cairo: why this location is sought after

El Patio 1 is in the northern part of New Cairo, closer to Heliopolis, Nasr City and the airport. So if your work or family are in older east Cairo, this location saves you the daily trip to the Fifth Settlement and 90th Street. That makes the location an advantage when you come to sell too.

Furnished or finished?

The seven-bedroom twin house is recorded as furnished, the other two as finished only. Furniture saves you the time and money of furnishing, but furniture years old may not suit you or may need replacing. So when comparing prices, find out the furniture's condition and judge it yourself.

Resale: cash and paperwork

Resale is usually paid in cash or over a short period. Ask about the transfer fees and who pays them, make sure the owner has paid everything due to the developer and the maintenance charges, and ask for the original contract and every contract after it. In an older house, ask about any alterations made, and whether they comply with the compound's rules.

For investment?

A twin house this size has a narrow market: large, high-income families. So it is more for living in than investing. If you let it, the rent may be good, but the time it stands empty between tenants may be long. If you sell it later, the location opposite El Rehab is an advantage that holds its value.

Who developed El Patio 1?

La Vista Developments, which has 32 projects published on Masharf, in New Cairo, El Shorouk, October, Sokhna and the North Coast.

Things to know before you buy

• Ask for the land, built and garden areas separately.
• View the house with an engineer if you can, especially the plumbing, electrics and insulation.
• Make sure maintenance is paid and the chain of ownership is clear.
