Building BetterCommunities

OurArea was founded with a simple mission: to help African residential communities thrive through better management, stronger connections, and smarter technology.

Our Story

Founded in 2023, OurArea emerged from a simple observation: African residential communities were struggling with outdated, fragmented property management systems that didn't understand local needs and challenges.

Our founders, having experienced these challenges firsthand, set out to create a platform that would not only streamline property management but also strengthen the bonds within communities.

Today, OurArea serves hundreds of communities across Africa, helping property managers, residents, and administrators work together more effectively while building stronger, more connected neighborhoods.
