Chas Everitt International - Property in Randburg

Randburg is a large town in Gauteng, South Africa. Once a separate municipality, its municipal government has since become a part of the City of Johannesburg.

Randburg has over 32 suburbs, most of them residential. It is an upmarket area filled with many family friendly entertainment facilities and park like areas. The residents in Randburg tend to be more affluent than most Johannesburg dwellers. Here one will witness large lavish homes and an abundance of boutiques. In fact, Randburg is well known for its plethora of shopping centres and entertainment areas, including the Brightwater Commons, Cresta Centre, NorthGate, Sanlam Shopping Centre and various others.

Another fantastic attraction is the Lion Park. This superb lion park features 4 prides of lions of various ages as well as a number of rhino and other herbivores. The lions are enclosed in a high-security area while the greater park area is given over to the other animals. For the adventurous, why not take your photographs with the gorgeous lion cubs?

Formerly known as the Randburg Waterfront, Brightwater Commons is one of Johannesburg's better-known entertainment, restaurant and shopping centres. The Brightwater Commons is designed around the concept of an urban shopping space. The refurbishment of the Brightwater Commons demonstrates a transformation from a stark harbor and warehouse development into a welcoming small town streetscape. It is well-known for its wide selection of restaurants which offer a variety of cuisines. It also hosts a large cinema complex, a mini-golf course, a laser-paintball arena as well as a broad selection of specialty stores. It is definitely an awesome entertainment centre well worth a visit!

The total exterior component of this refurbishment comprises soft landscaping, paved walkways, a village green and a redesigned watercourse, together creating a totally new environmental and urban experience.

The centre now boasts rolling lawns with leisurely walking paths cutting across, a Commons with a performance stage set to the fore of these (where many of musical events take place), as well as a unique tented promotional court that can accommodate up to 40 exhibitors under cover.

The Brightwater Commons has been designed for a sense of wellbeing creating an enabling framework for spontaneous social interaction. The visitor is encircled by trees and breezes, water and sunlight.

Randburg is truly a lovely and beautiful suburb where families and friends can enjoy fantastic days together. Whether its fun and entertainment or just pure relaxation you are looking for, there is something here for everyone.

The centre of Randburg is situated at the junction of Jan Smuts and Hendrik Verwoed avenues. The centre of Randburg houses the Randburg Mall and the Randburg Shopping Centre, two large centers that sit astride Oak Avenue.

ABOUT NORTHCLIFF

Northcliff is an up market established and historical suburb convenient for your every requirement, whether it’s recreational, educational or business.

Northcliff is incredibly well situated with easy access to a number of major shopping malls. The N1 is easily accessible and getting to either the city or Sandton is relatively simple, given Johannesburg’s notorious traffic. All major arterial roads transport you to work or to the endless facilities of our super city Johannesburg.

One of Johannesburg’s older up market suburbs, leafy Northcliff, lays North West of the city’s CBD, the cliff is a landmark on the otherwise predominantly flat skyline of the city.

Northcliff’s large homes lay on pretty tree lined streets that wend their way up the cliff, the views are superlative. This creates a more natural environment compared to many of the other suburbs in Johannesburg that function mainly on grid systems.

Northcliff’s landmark Water Tower situated on the ridge. This is made up predominantly of hard smooth quartzite, offers a number of natural climbs for avid rock climbing fans. Enjoy a stroll along Northcliff’s Ridge, the second highest in Johannesburg at 1 807m to admire the views and in spring time, enjoy the sea of purple Jacaranda blossoms which is a unique feature of the Koppie. The routes are relatively short and the view from the top of Northcliff ridge is excellent - the whole of the northern suburbs lie as a carpet before you- and on a clear day, one can see as far as Sandton and beyond. At night the city lights appear to be a thousand twinkling stars. Northcliff Ridge is the site of historical interest, where vultures once flew and Moselekatse, Shaka’s general, resided with his followers, before being pushed out bye the Voortrekkers.

The trendy suburbs of Melville and Greenside, with their popular pavement culture and vibey restaurants, shops and boutiques are both natural evening hang outs when staying in Northcliff. These slightly bohemian but classically trendy neighborhoods provide hours of people watching and good food options.

After school activities are encouraged in both sport and cultural programs.
