Property for Sale in Johannesburg

Properties in Johannesburg range from sprawling family homes to trendy loft apartments and are often considerably cheaper than their Cape Town or Durban counterparts.

The northern suburbs of Johannesburg are often called the leafy suburbs and include Sandton, Fourways and Rosebank. The properties in these areas are large and established and are surrounded by shops, restaurants and prestigious schools, which pushes up their prices. With many businesses moving into the north, the area is becoming more self-sufficient and the need for increased housing has resulted in many affordable and secure town-house complexes being developed.

The western suburbs of Johannesburg feature properties varying in character and price, with Northcliff being one of the more expensive areas. Melville is the area’s trendiest suburb with many students moving in to take advantage of the vibrant nightlife. Houses range from sprawling estates to individual older properties and cottages offering wooden floors and high ceilings.

The East Rand of Johannesburg offers easy access to OR Tambo International Airport and the suburb of Kensington has sprawling and beautiful older style properties that have been called Johannesburg’s best kept secret. In Bedfordview you can find many trendy new luxury apartment blocks within close proximity of the Bedford Centre.

The southern suburbs are situated a convenient distant from Johannesburg’s business centre. One suburb to note is Alberton, where a new golfing estate is currently being built, and which is a prime property-investing area.

But if it is city living that you prefer, Johannesburg is still the city for you. A recent campaign to clean up the crime-ridden streets is paying off, and many exciting apartment buildings have been renovated and are becoming available. Trendy areas like Newtown offer an exciting nightlife and cosmopolitan atmosphere, making the purchase of property a good investment.
