With its convenient location close to Sandton CBD, Fourways, Randburg and the highway, Bryanston in Johannesurg’s northern suburbs is popular among property buyers looking for a suburban lifestyle.
It has broad appeal, attracting young professionals and families, as well as those looking for a secure and lavish lifestyle or upgrading to bigger properties, and for business people who need a base in Joburg. Buyers of clusters and apartments want the convenience of lock-up-and-go type properties in secure estates.
Bryanston is an attractive, community-orientated suburb, with tree-lined streets, offering different property types at varying prices, says Richard Smith, Pam Golding Properties Hyde Park area manager. These include apartments, cluster homes, executive apartments and luxury freestanding homes situated on large stands with large gardens.
With a choice of property options, prices range upwards, from around R1 million for an apartment, depending on the property’s size, location, security, quality of finishes and whether there have been renovations or not.
According to the South Africa Wealth Report 2019 by AfrAsia Bank and New World Wealth, in 2018 Bryanston was ranked among the most popular suburbs for multi-millionaires - individuals with net assets of +US$10 million. Bryanston was also named as one of the most exclusive suburbs in Johannesburg with a number of homes valued at over R20 million along with suburbs including Houghton, Sandhurst, Hyde Park, Houghton and Westcliff.
The area boasts a number of eateries, shopping centres, parks, and medical facilities as well as schools including Bryanston Primary School, Bryneven Primary School, Bryandale Bryanston High School, Bryanston Parallel Medium & Pre-Primary School, Brescia House School, Curro Castle Bryanston, Michael Mount Waldorf School, Pine Forest Pre-Primary School, Sandton Primary School and St Stithians College.
“With time at a premium for most people, having schools in the area makes it convenient for parents to drop off and pick up their children. Buyers, especially those with children, want ease of access - and buying in Bryanston offers this convenience,” says Smith.
Bryanston continues to experience strong demand and remains a popular choice for many property buyers looking for a “live, work and play” lifestyle, adds Smith.
