What Property Types Are Available in Katameya?

Katameya has one of the busiest sale markets in New Cairo, and Bayut Egypt lists homes across its compounds and sub-districts. Apartments make up most of the choice, followed by villas, penthouses, townhouses, twin houses and duplexes.

Almost every home here sits inside a gated compound, so the compound often matters as much as the unit. Some compounds are ready and lived in, while others are still being delivered in phases, so the finishing level and the handover date change from one listing to the next. Compare units of a similar size across at least two compounds before you decide.

The property types you will find for sale are:

• Apartments: the most common type, from compact studios and one-bedroom units of about 60 sqm to large apartments of more than 200 sqm.
• Villas: standalone houses from about 300 sqm to well over 1,000 sqm in the golf and villa communities.
• Penthouses: top-floor units with terraces or private roofs, mostly in the larger compounds.
• Townhouses: terraced villas of roughly 240 to 280 sqm with gardens and several floors.
• Twin houses: semi-detached homes that share one wall and keep a private garden.
• Duplexes: two-level apartments, usually with a garden or a roof terrace.

Decide how much space and privacy you want, and whether you prefer a tower compound close to the Ring Road or a quieter villa community. Think about whether you want to be close to a club, a school or a mall.

The sections below look at each type in more detail.

Apartments in El Katameya New Cairo

Apartments for sale in Katameya make up the largest group in the area. Compact units of about 60 to 110 sqm appear in tower compounds such as Makany and Katameya Gate, while family apartments of about 125 to 220 sqm appear in The Brooks, One Katameya, Stone Residence and Cairo Festival City.

Listing descriptions often mention garden or pool views, double-view corner units and ready-to-move finishing. Some apartments are semi-finished and others are sold fully finished or furnished, so check the finishing level in each listing.

Buyers usually compare apartments on the floor, the view and the finishing level. Visit more than one compound before you decide, because facilities and service charges differ.

Villas for Sale in El Katameya New Cairo 

Villas for sale in Katameya are concentrated in the golf and villa communities. Standalone villas typically start at about 300 sqm and reach well beyond 1,000 sqm in the largest compounds, usually with four or more bedrooms.

Their listings mention golf-course, lake and landscape views, private pools, roof floors and basements. Many villas are resale homes that are ready to move into, and some are sold core and shell, so ask what finishing is included.

Check the plot size as well as the built-up area, because the two differ a lot in this area. Ask for the ownership documents and the compound's service terms before you decide.

Penthouses for Sale in Katameya

Penthouses for sale in Katameya sit on the top floor of apartment buildings and usually add a terrace or a private roof to the layout. They suit buyers who want apartment living with outdoor space.

Look at the size of the roof, the access to it and the view from the terrace in each listing, because these details change the value of the unit.

Townhouses for Sale in Katameya

Townhouses for sale in Katameya are terraced villas, mostly of about 240 to 280 sqm on several floors. They sit between an apartment and a standalone villa in size and suit families who want a garden at a lower entry point than a villa.

Check whether the unit is a corner house, how large the plot is and which floors are included, since a basement or a roof adds usable space.

Twin Houses for Sale in Katameya

Twin houses for sale in Katameya share one wall with a neighbouring home and keep their own garden and entrance. They are usually larger than townhouses and give more privacy than a terraced unit.

Compare the built-up area, the garden size and the delivery date in each listing, because twin houses are sold in several compounds at different stages.

Duplexes for Sale in Katameya

Duplexes for sale in Katameya are two-level homes with a ground-floor living area and bedrooms upstairs, often with a private garden or a roof terrace. They give a villa-style layout at apartment prices.

Ask about the garden or terrace size, the finishing level and the view when you compare duplexes in different compounds.
