El Patio Casa El Shorouk City

El Patio Casa El Shorouk: a ready 275 m² four-bedroom apartment opposite Madinaty

El Patio Casa El Shorouk is a residential project by La Vista Developments on 116,000 m² in El Shorouk opposite Madinaty, with buildings on about a fifth of the land and the rest greenery and water. The developer is offering two units: a 275 m² four-bedroom apartment at EGP 22,800,000 and a three-bedroom twin house at 25,700,000, both handed over this month with 20% down and 4 years of instalments.

So the decision here is between two options only, both ready. The question: a very large apartment with four bedrooms, or a house with three bedrooms and a garden for about 2.9 million more? Let us work it out.

Who is El Patio Casa for?

A large family that wants to move in now

A ready 275 m² four-bedroom apartment, a rare size for an apartment in El Shorouk.

Someone who wants a ready house

A ready three-bedroom twin house with a garden and a private entrance.

Someone whose work or children are towards Madinaty

The compound is right opposite Madinaty, about 700 m from the El Shorouk 2 entrance.

Someone with good cash

20% down and 4 years of instalments, a plan for someone with liquidity.

Units in El Patio Casa: the apartment or the twin house?

• The apartment: four bedrooms on 275 m² at 22,800,000, about 82,900 per m².
• The twin house: three bedrooms on 201 to 279 m² at 25,700,000.

The apartment has an extra room and costs 2.9 million less. The twin house gives you a garden, a private entrance and no one above you. If the available twin house is 201 m², the apartment is also 74 m² larger. So first ask exactly what size the twin house is, and whether that figure is the building alone or with the garden, because that will settle the comparison.

A 275 m² apartment: a villa's space in a building

A four-bedroom apartment on 275 m² is larger than most apartments in New Cairo and El Shorouk: wide living areas, large rooms and space for a study or guest room. Its price per metre is about 82,900, below the twin houses and townhouses in El Shorouk's other Patio compounds. If you do not need a house, this apartment gives you a house's space for less.

Four bedrooms: who really needs them?

A four-bedroom apartment suits a family with three or more children, a family that wants a permanent guest room for relatives, or someone working from home who needs a separate study. For a family of three or four, the fourth room may be extra space whose upkeep and air conditioning you pay for without using it much. Think about your needs in 5 or 10 years, not just today.

The twin house: compare with El Shorouk's other Patios

• El Patio Casa: a three-bedroom twin house from 201 m² at 25,700,000, ready.
• El Patio 5 East: a 220 m² twin house at 27,400,000, about 124,500 per m².
• El Patio Prime: a three-bedroom twin house from 255 m² at 30,400,000, ready on the same 20% and 4-year plan.

The El Patio Casa twin house is the cheapest of the three in total price. If it is 201 m², its metre is close to El Patio 5 East's. El Patio Prime gives more space for 4.7 million more. So choose by the space you actually need.

20% down and the instalment

If the instalment is to stay under a third of household income:

• The apartment: EGP 4,560,000 down and an instalment of about 380,000 a month over 4 years, so an income of around 1.14 million.
• The twin house: EGP 5,140,000 down and an instalment of about 428,300, so an income of around 1.29 million.

A heavy plan because the units are ready, so ask about the cash price, as the gap between it and the 4-year plan may be reasonable. These are approximate and before any increases; the details are under payment plans.

El Patio Casa against its neighbours

• Apartments: El Patio Casa about 82,900, SODIC East about 87,900, Mayan El Shorouk, less than a kilometre away, about 65,300 and El Patio Sola about 64,300.
• Twin houses: El Patio Casa from about 92,000 to 128,000 depending on size, Kukun about 102,800 and Triangle about 120,000.

The apartment here costs more per metre than Mayan and El Patio Sola, but both of those are still being built, while El Patio Casa is ready. It is close to SODIC East. So you pay a little more to move in now, and for a 275 m² size you will not easily find among the apartments around it.

Ready now or off-plan?

A three-bedroom apartment at El Patio Sola nearby starts at 9.9 million, with 5% down over 7 years, but is handed over in October 2029. El Patio Casa is handed over now. So the difference is not just price, but 3 years of rent you will save, and seeing the compound finished with your own eyes. If you need to move soon, work out the rent you would pay for 3 years and compare it with the difference.

El Patio Casa compound: one-fifth built

When buildings take about 20% of the land, the gaps between blocks are wide and most units look onto greenery and water. There is a commercial area at the gates with shops, restaurants and cafés, so daily needs are close without commercial traffic entering the residential area.

The apartment: ask about the floor and view

In a compound only a fifth built, the view varies a lot from building to building. An apartment overlooking a lake or a large garden is not the same as one facing the next building. Ask about the floor too: if it is the ground floor, does it have a private garden; if high, what does the view open onto. That affects your comfort and the resale price later.

For investment

A large ready apartment next to Madinaty can be let to large families looking for space at a calmer price than New Cairo. But with an instalment of about 380,000 a month, rent will not cover it, so buying here is for living in or for someone with significant liquidity. The twin house has a narrower rental market, but houses hold their value.

Things to know before you book

• Ask what is available today in the type and size that suit you.
• Ask about the cash price, as over a 4-year plan the difference may be worth it.
• Ask about the twin house's exact size, built and garden.
• The finishing level is not recorded with us, so ask about it and get it in writing.
• Inspect the unit before handover, and ask about the apartment's floor and view and the maintenance deposit.
