Families are attracted not only to the lifestyle that this prestigious area promises but also to its sense of peace, quiet and safety. Younger families are especially drawn to the area, which is central enough to offer fuss-free commuting, and close enough to the area's top schools to make morning school drops as easy as could be. Giving you a taste of what makes this area so appealing to families, here are just a few of the top benefits on offer to Sandhurst property owners.
The properties.
Although there are a number of Sandhurst apartments and complexes on offer, a large portion of the property market is dominated by lavish, large family homes that are set on equally large plots set far back from the road. These properties typically boast four or more bedrooms, along with luxurious facilities ranging from swimming pools to gas fireplaces, majestic driveways, impressive entryways, forest-like gardens, roomy bedrooms, designer bathrooms, lavish kitchens, and every other convenience imaginable. The majority of properties are also extremely secure, allowing residents to enjoy the sense of feeling far removed from the city, despite being on its doorstep.
The area.
The area itself is a short distance from the Sandton CBD, as well as various restaurants, shops, art galleries, hotels, and other world-class amenities. Within the broader Sandton area and its surrounds, family-friendly attractions include Cumberland Bird Sanctuary, Liliesleaf Farm, Montecasino, Rosebank African Craft Market, Mushroom Park, Adventure Golf Fourways, Galaxy World Ten Pin Bowling, Tree Top Adventures, The Wilds, Rietfontein Nature Reserve, Artjamming Melrose Arch, Rockfit, ECHO Dog Park, Fourways Farmers Market, and many others.
The schools.
One of the biggest attractions for families seeking property to buy in Sandhurst is the proximity to excellent schools. Within the immediate area, leading schools include Sandhurst Pre- & Preparatory College. Other nearby schools include St David’s, Kingsmead, Pridwin Prep, Hyde Park High, Redhill and Crawford. Being within close reach of Gauteng's top schools is sure to be a major benefit for many parents, both current and expectant.
