Selbourne Park is a tale of two markets. On one side, it is a prestigious eastern suburb for the wealthy. On the other hand, its proximity to NUST has turned it into a high-yield student housing machine. Who lives here? A mix of the city elite and thousands of students. For the investor, the choice is clear: luxury residential or high-density student clusters. The latter offers incredible cash flow but involves massive wear and tear.

It is arguably the most dynamic real estate market in Bulawayo right now, offering both prestige and aggressive profit potential.
