Striking a balance between work and life in Akasia

Living in a suburban area like Akasia can be far quieter and more relaxed than the hustle and bustle of more urban settings in Johannesburg or Pretoria. People who live in Akasia get to take advantage of the best of both worlds: quick proximity to various workplaces and a relaxed, laid-back way of life. They also reap the benefits of easy access to various highways and arterial routes. The CSi Property Group shines the spotlight on Akasia and all the great benefits of living here.

Access to a wide range of amenities

Whether you need to get the shopping done, find a great school for your children or find a caring medical practitioner, you'll find it all close to home in Akasia. Having Wonderpark Shopping Centre close to home means convenience is always at hand. The array of great schools in the area includes Akasia Kinderlandgoed Pre-Primary School, Laerskool Akasia and Hoërskool Akasia.

Netcare Akasia Hospital ensures that medical care is never far away if you're an Akasia resident. Over and above emergency care, you'll find lots of doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, optometrists and other medical professionals close to home. In a nutshell, Akasia is a great place to live because it offers a perfect blend of convenience and a family-orientated environment.

A great blend of things to do

Over and above that, if you're looking for something to do on a day off, you'll be spoilt for choice. As a resident of Akasia, you're within a reasonable distance of a wide array of things to do, including Crystal Sun Water Park, which offers a great day out for the whole family. Let the kids (and everyone who's young at heart) enjoy themselves on the water slides and in the pools and then hire a thatched lapa with a picnic table and braai facilities for a relaxing afternoon with family and friends.

Golfers who call Akasia home have the Akasia Golf Club close to home and get to enjoy everything that this 18-hole bushveld golfing experience has to offer. Pretoria is not known as "Jacaranda City" for nothing and there are many great opportunities to enjoy some time outdoors in and around Akasia. If you need a touch of tranquillity and the great outdoors, you can visit Ludwig's Roses, where you can literally stop and smell the flowers.

If you're looking for a great way to keep the kids entertained (with the added bonus of also being able to get the shopping done), then head to Wonderpark Shopping Centre's Playtown. The "town" is staffed by childminders for your peace of mind and the kids will have a blast in a safe, fun environment.

Safety, a sense of community and fantastic real estate

Suburban areas like Akasia boast neighbourhoods where it's easy to get to know your neighbours and enjoy a safer way of life than that offered in other areas. One of the things Akasia residents pride themselves on is a strong sense of community and you can look forward to getting to know your neighbours and looking out for one another.

If you're looking for a home in Akasia, you have a wide variety of options. From extremely affordable one and two-bedroom apartments to spacious units in complexes and freestanding houses, there's something for everyone.
