Dainfern’s International Appeal

Category Property News

Dainfern is attracting multinational corporates from around the world who seek secure, elite and convenient living for their employees. The suburb is situated in Fourways, Johannesburg and is renowned for premium residential property in exclusive golfing estates.

International Corporates Choose Dainfern

Its international appeal is opening up lucrative opportunities for those looking for buy-to-let investments with returns reaching up eight and nine percent per annum. These international corporates are aiming to cement their presence on the continent and while on business in the country, they require world-class accommodation to house their executives and company representatives. For this, they are choosing Dainfern and other surrounding Johannesburg suburbs, as it accommodates to all their strict requirements that revolve around lodging for their staff and families. 

The Safest Suburb

The suburb offers a secure community lifestyle with every convenience catered for, in fact, it is regarded as the safest of all of Gauteng’s gated villages and is the only one to have a top ISO 9000 security rating. 

Many estates are secured with biometric admission systems and patrolled by roving vehicles, while the perimeter is protected by an electric fence that is monitored by cameras. Corporates also look for good schools for their children within close proximity and this is another reason that Dainfern is an attractive destination. The area encompasses a vast range of quality private schools including Dainfern College, HeronBridge College and St Peter’s College.

Excellent Buy-to-Let Conditions

This drive from business executives has assisted in accelerating the upmarket portion of the rental property market in elite suburbs. For example, 35% of homes on the Dainfern Golf Estate are on the rental market with corporates making up most of the occupants. Investors are therefore encouraged to take advantage of the excellent buy-to-rent opportunities that are now available to them. This is one of the most popular estates and sees an estimated one-third of all international rentals. 

The area has a wide range of luxury accommodation available in its exclusive estates that offer an amalgamation of facilities and leisure activities to residents, providing a level of prestige that places it at the fore of global interests.
