The established and mature Dainfern Residential and Golf Estate continues to attract buyers from all walks of life looking for a secure lifestyle in northern Johannesburg.
Dainfern Residential and Golf Estate established 26 years ago remains a sought-after home location for South African and foreign buyers alike, say Pam Golding Properties Dainfern Area Specialists, Brenda Gilbert and Sharen Byren.
“Apart from the carefree lifestyle, security is a key factor considered by purchasers when buying into the estate, as well as close proximity to schools and other essential amenities.”
Gilbert and Byren concur that Dainfern Residential and Golf Estate has homes to suit families and professionals - young and mature. It also has a clubhouse, child-friendly pavilion, restaurants and an 18-hole golf course. Residents can participate in social clubs and fitness activities which include bridge, running, cycling, walking, soccer, tennis and squash among others. Annual events such as Mothers’ Day and the Easter Egg Hunt are some of the calendar highlights for residents.
According to Lighstone data, housing stock in Dainfern Residential and Golf Estate comprises freehold properties. The median sales price for freehold home in 2017 in the estate was R4.75 million, R5.5 million in Dainfern Valley and R3.2 million in Dainfern Ridge.
Residents in Dainfern come from all walks of life - from captains of industry to entrepreneurs, professionals and young families, all seeking a secure environment. Lately, say the agents, there is a rise in the number of buyers in the early- to late-30s.
“Many buyers who establish bases here are from other African countries including Angola, Gabon, DRC, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.”
The growing Fourways precinct, improvement in road infrastructure with resultant easing of traffic congestion, as well as commercial and residential developments planned for the greater Fourways area, all bode well for an increased demand for property in the area.
Dainfern is located close to Lanseria International Airport with numerous shopping centres close by including Fourways Mall, Fourways Crossing, Dainfern Square, Broadacres and Cedar Square, to mention a few. For those with school-going children, private and public schools include Dainfern College, Reddam House, Steyn City College, Crawford Schools, Fourways High and The Johannesburg International School are in close proximity.
It is still possible to buy a cluster home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms for approximately R3 million, while four bedroom homes start from between R4 million and R5 million at the Dainfern Residential and Golf Estate.
According to Gilbert and Byren, although 2017 was a challenging year with many buyers taking a wait-and-see- approach, the record price of R25 million was achieved for a home in the golf estate. “We are positive that with renewed confidence in the property market sales activity will increase in this beautiful estate.”
