Sandton Property | Johannesburg

Sandton is located in the northern part of Johannesburg and is one of the most affluent areas in South Africa, let alone the Gauteng province.  In fact, there are those who refer to it as the richest square mile on the African continent.  There is consequently always a demand for property here and the real estate available is often more upmarket and expensive than most other regions in the country.

Initially, Sandton comprised of rolling hills, with residential property mostly in the form of smallholdings and farms.  The rural lifestyle gave the area a “mink and manure” status that soon made it popular with investors.  It has since become the financial hub of South Africa and is Johannesburg’s top business centre, where most of the region’s A grade office space is located.

One of the area’s main claims to fame is the Sandton Convention Centre, which happens to be the largest of its kind on the entire African continent and hosts a number of international events.  The infrastructure here is some of the best in the country, not to mention the world-class shopping centres and restaurants catering for the local population.  Best of all, those who invest in property in Sandton have access to a number of excellent weekend getaways located in the Vaal River, Magaliesberg and Pilanesberg areas.
