Gauteng's top suburbs for buyers and renters

While all areas of Gauteng have much to offer the people who live in them, there are certain areas that hold particular appeal when you're looking for your next home. The CSi Property Group takes a look at Douglasdale, Faerie Glen, North Riding, Noordwyk and Pretoria North and all that these areas have to offer.

Attractive, convenient Douglasdale

Douglasdale offers a quiet, central and attractive place to call home and there are many benefits to living here. It boasts easy access to all major highways and arterial routes and falls within the sophisticated area of Sandton, with Fourways and Bryanston on either side. Over and above the wide array of shopping centres available in Sandton, convenience is close to home for residents of Douglasdale, with Douglasdale Village right on your doorstep. With Montecasino close by, residents of Douglasdale are never lacking something to do.

Living the good life in Faerie Glen

The first thing to mention about Faerie Glen is its beautiful surroundings, adjacent to Faerie Glen Nature Reserve and in the shadow of the Bronberg mountains. The area's convenient location gives you easy access to many of Gauteng's top public and private schools as well as healthcare facilities and shopping centres. It is a suburb characterised by trees, greenery and well-kept properties. A wide range of properties - from flats to mansions - ensure that there's something for everyone in Faerie Glen.

Central living and value for money in North Riding

North Riding has a lot to offer at reasonable prices. It's close to good schools, shopping centres and hospitals, and its central location means that it's quick and easy to get to areas like Fourways, the West Rand and Sandton. From your home in North Riding, you're close to major arterial routes like Beyers Naude Drive and Malibongwe Drive. Golden Harvest Park offers North Riding residents an ideal opportunity to get outdoors. The 55ha park boasts a dam, indigenous bushveld and plenty of opportunities to take the next picture for your Instagram feed. There's plenty to do if you live in North Riding, with movie theatres, Northgate Ice Rink and Jackal Creek Golf Course all close to home.

Secure homes in Noordwyk

Noordwyk is a residential hub of Midrand, with a steady supply of secure flats, townhouses and secure freestanding properties available for sale and to rent. The variety of residential estates in the area makes Noordwyk a great choice if you're looking for a home where your children can grow up in idyllic surroundings. If you're a resident of Noordwyk, it's easy to get around thanks to proximity to the N1 highway and other arterial routes. Given its location within Midrand, there are plenty of amenities and things to do in and around Noordwyk.

Another world in Pretoria North

With its stunning location at the base of the Magaliesberg mountains, Pretoria North was once made up mostly of smallholdings. Today, it has been transformed into a bustling suburb, complete with schools, shopping centres, restaurants, coffee shops and an enviable way of life. Pretoria North is an area where family comes first and a relaxed way of life is enjoyed. Families can enjoy a visit to Montana Family Market - a permanent flea-market-style shopping complex and those who enjoy golf will love having the Thornbrook Golf Estate close to home.
