Neighbourhoods ranked by the Weighted Utility Index (WUI). We prioritise ZESA stability, borehole access, and road security over marketing hype.
Every suburb is scored by residents on a weighted index — safety carries the most weight, followed by utility reliability (ZESA and water), road condition, and mobile signal. The split is each factor's share of the overall score.

The Kadoma Town Centre serves as the historic and commercial heartbeat of the city, originally established as a mining camp in the late 1890s. While residential stock within the immediate CBD is limited, it remains a high pressure zone for commercial residential conversions. The environment is loud, bustling with traffic from the Harare-Bulawayo highway, and dominated by major retail anchors like TM Pick n Pay and Spar. The truth of living in or near the CBD is the trade off between unmatched convenience and urban congestion. Infrastructure is aging, and the electrical grid is under constant strain from the surrounding industrial demands. Who lives here? Transient professionals, retail managers, and small business operators who need to be within walking distance of the central government offices and banks. It is a high utility zone where rental demand for apartments is relentless, though privacy and silence are virtually nonexistent.

Kadoma CBD holds a verified resident rating of 2.7/5 based on ground-truth data from 2 residents. It ranks #1 within Kadoma.
This composite score strips away agent marketing pleasantries and exposes the street-level reality. Cross-reference the granular data points above to determine exactly how much capital expenditure you require to make a property habitable, or what infrastructure you must demand from a landlord before signing a lease. Compare competing areas on the full Kadoma suburb leaderboard before making your move.
Street-level safety tracks at 3.5/5, indicating a volatile environment. If you are renting or moving in, carefully inspect the boundary walls and security setups before signing your lease. Landlords cannot command premium rents without spending cash out of pocket on high walls, electric fencing, and rapid response alarm links. Street lighting failures frequently leave the boundary vulnerable after dark.
Utility sovereignty dictates your daily life and your asset's performance. Municipal grid failures force homeowners and landlords to provide alternative infrastructure.
Mobile network connectivity determines your remote work viability and the landlord's ability to retain corporate tenants.
The signal stability supports remote work for residents. You must still run a live speed test during physical viewings to ensure thick brick walls do not block your connection indoors.
Neighborhood friction dictates your daily quality of life and the long-term performance of your real estate. This verified data establishes exactly what you will experience living or investing here.
The quality score of 43.5 out of 100 evaluates neighborhoods based on a strict algorithm weighting the factors that actively impact your daily life and asset value.
Severe infrastructure collapse. Public municipal services are practically non-functional. Renters must avoid properties lacking full independent capabilities or face massive daily costs buying trucked water. Buyers must buy at a deep discount to cover total off-grid setup costs.
This score provides a vital neighborhood benchmark, but it does not replace personalized on-site verification. You must initiate contact with a vetted Propertyzone agent to confirm specific property viability before signing a lease or transfer document.
Every metric represents the weighted mean of data gathered directly from verified local homeowners, tenants, and area specialists living in Kadoma CBD. Scores scale from 1 to 5. A score above 4.0 identifies a verified local strength. Scores between 3.0 and 3.9 flag highly volatile neighborhood friction. Scores below 3.0 expose chronic operational failure.
This intelligence engine is built exclusively to protect renters and buyers from artificial price inflation and agent bias. It registers localized infrastructure shifts long before they reflect in static property valuation reports. This data is your early warning system. Do not skip your independent physical verifications.
A quality baseline of 43.5/100 dictates your financial modeling in Kadoma CBD. This is a high-risk environment. Rely strictly on deeply discounted purchase prices to absorb the massive capital expenditure required to install complete off-grid utilities for your family or your tenants. Whether you are buying to live or buying to let, you must ignore aesthetic finishes and prioritize hard utility stability.
Do not execute a transaction based on data alone. You must independently execute the following sequence to prevent total capital destruction:
Engage a vetted Propertyzone professional to facilitate these checks before you make a formal offer.
The daily reality of renting in this neighborhood is entirely dependent on utility stability. Tenants will rapidly vacate units that subject them to dry taps or constant ZESA load-shedding, leaving landlords with destroyed net operating income through extended vacancies. These stable utility metrics provide renters with a secure daily lifestyle. Landlords can attract long-term, low-risk tenants with standard structural offerings and optimize for pure yield without facing aggressive secondary infrastructure overhead.
Macro rental averages are useless for projecting your daily life or your cash flow. These localized metrics expose exact friction points, but you must execute deep ground research. Walk the target blocks to evaluate the actual street environment. Speak with immediate neighbors or local property managers to verify conditions. Aggressive local due diligence guarantees your lifestyle and your revenue.

It all depends on the location. In Rimuka, Power cuts are scarce these days. The roads are bumpy and the municipal needs to do its job. When it comes to water, we had to resort to getting boreholes drilled as a community. Council water is a scarce opportunity. Sewage is sort of like an everyday thing especially in Rimuka. This needs serious rehabilitation. Other suburbs are better than others. Rimuka is the worst. Especially SQ and GB.
