El Patio Sola El Shorouk City

El Patio Sola El Shorouk: a three-bedroom apartment cheaper than a smaller penthouse

El Patio Sola El Shorouk is a residential project by La Vista Developments on 40 feddans in El Shorouk, with apartments, penthouses and duplexes. The cheapest unit is a 123 m² two-bedroom apartment at EGP 8,200,000, with 5% down, 7.8 years of instalments and handover in October 2029.

The price per metre for apartments and duplexes here is about 64,000 to 67,000, while penthouses run at about 83,000. So the gap between types is large, and if you choose by looks you may pay millions more for less space. Let us sort the options with the figures.

Who is El Patio Sola for?

A couple or a small family

A 123 m² two-bedroom apartment from 8.2 million, with only 410,000 down.

A family needing three bedrooms

A three-bedroom apartment from 154 to 200 m², from 9.9 million. This is the best value in the project.

A very large family

A four-bedroom duplex from 328 to 336 m² at 21.1 million, at about the apartments' price per metre.

Someone whose work or children's schools are towards El Shorouk and Madinaty

The British University is about 9 minutes away, Madinaty 12 minutes and the New Administrative Capital 24 minutes.

Units in El Patio Sola: two bedrooms or three?

• Two-bedroom apartment: from 123 m² at 8,200,000, about 66,700 per m².
• Three-bedroom apartment: from 154 m² at 9,900,000, about 64,300 per m².

1.7 million more gets you 31 m² and another room, about 54,800 per extra metre, cheaper than the two-bedroom's own metre. The instalment rises by only about 17,300 a month. So if your budget allows, three bedrooms is the wiser sum.

The three-bedroom penthouse: be careful

The 123 m² three-bedroom penthouse costs 10,300,000, about 83,700 per m². Against the 154 m² three-bedroom apartment at 9,900,000, the penthouse is 31 m² smaller and 400,000 dearer. So you pay more for less space, and its only advantage is the top floor. Ask whether it has a terrace or roof, because without them there is no reason to take it over the apartment.

Four-bedroom penthouse or a large three-bedroom apartment?

The four-bedroom penthouse is 154 to 170 m² at 12,700,000, while the three-bedroom apartments go up to 200 m² at a top price of 11,800,000. So the largest three-bedroom apartment is at least 30 m² bigger than the penthouse and about 900,000 cheaper. The penthouse here is only for someone who needs the fourth room within a smaller space.

The duplex: a villa's space at an apartment's price per metre

The four-bedroom duplex from 328 m² costs 21,100,000, about 64,300 per m², exactly the three-bedroom apartment's price per metre. That is rare, because large units usually cost more per metre. So if your family is large or you live with your parents, this duplex gives you a whole house's space over two floors at an apartment's rate. Only two are available.

A duplex for two families?

A 328 m² duplex over two floors can house two generations: parents on one floor and a married son on the other, with one entrance and space for each. Its price is close to two of the smallest three-bedroom apartments, 19.8 million for both, but it is 20 m² larger and in one home.

Three-bedroom apartments from 154 to 200 m²

The three-bedroom apartments range from 154 to 200 m², priced from 9.9 to 11.8 million. So 46 m² apart for about 1.9 million. Ask about every available size and the price of each, because the larger one may be better value per metre depending on its position.

What income does the instalment suit?

5% down and 7.8 years of instalments. If the instalment is to stay under a third of household income:

• Two-bedroom apartment: an instalment of about 83,200 a month, so an income of around 250,000.
• Three-bedroom apartment: EGP 495,000 down and an instalment of about 100,500, so an income of around 301,000.
• Four-bedroom penthouse: an instalment of about 128,900, so an income of around 387,000.
• The duplex: EGP 1,055,000 down and an instalment of about 214,200, so an income of around 642,000.

These are approximate and before any increases; the details are under payment plans.

El Patio Sola for sale: against its neighbours

• Apartments: El Patio Sola from about 64,000, Sarai about 70,700, Mayan El Shorouk about 65,300, Rock White about 52,800 and Livyn, a kilometre away, about 38,300.
• Duplexes: El Patio Sola about 64,000, La Mirada about 65,900, Talala about 77,500 and SODIC East about 88,500.

The apartments sit mid-market: close to Mayan, cheaper than Sarai, dearer than Livyn and Rock. The duplex is among the cheapest duplexes in the whole area per metre.

The El Patio cluster in El Shorouk

El Patio Sola is part of the group of El Patio compounds La Vista has built in El Shorouk, including El Patio Casa, about 4 km away, El Patio 5 East and El Patio Prime. So the developer has worked in the area for years, and you can visit a delivered Patio compound to see its operation and maintenance for yourself.

For investment: which unit?

If you are buying to let after handover, the two-bedroom is easier to let because its market is wider: employees, students of the nearby universities and small families. The three-bedroom fetches higher rent but lets to families only. If you sell after handover, the three-bedroom's lower price per metre gives you a better margin. The duplex has a narrow market, so it is for living in, not quick investment.

El Shorouk: who does it suit?

El Shorouk is a quiet city with prices below New Cairo's, suiting those whose work or children's schools are towards El Shorouk, Madinaty and the capital. But if you work in the Fifth Settlement or downtown, the trip is longer: the Fifth Settlement is about 33 minutes, 90th Street 29 and the airport 30. So work out your daily trip before deciding.

Handover in 2029: buy now?

Handover is about three years away and instalments run over 7.8 years, so part of the instalments come before you move in. If you rent now, count rent and instalment together until handover. If you need to move soon, this project is not for you.
