Glenvista Property

For homeowners seeking the ideal residential area, our range of Glenvista property is sure to offer something to suit all tastes.

The Glenvista Leapfrog franchise is based in the south of Johannesburg. Though in the past there has been less retail development in the southern part of the region than in the active north of Johannesburg, this has changed drastically with the building of Southgate and The Glen Shopping Centre, among others. The population of Johannesburg South is young and growing; partly because of an influx of new homeowners from previously disadvantaged areas are drawn in by better housing, land value and facilities, as well as swift, convenient access to their places of employment. This makes Glenvista one of the most up and coming areas for property in South Africa.

Suburbs in the Glenvista property region include: Aspen Hills,  Bassonia, Elandspark, Forest Hill, Glenanda, Glenesk, Glenvista, Haddon, Kenilworth,  Kibler Heights, Kibler Park, La Rochelle, Liefde-en-Vrede, Linmeyer,  Mayfield Park, Moffatview,  Mulbarton, Oakdene,  Regentspark,  Reuven, Rispark, Risana,  Rosettenville, Roseacre, Steeledale,  South Hills, The Hill, Tulisapark, Turffontein, Towerby, Townsview and Unigray, each offering a range of property options.  
 
Johannesburg is the business hub of South Africa, contributing a substantial part of the country's GDP (approximately 12%). Johannesburg South is approximately 40 kilometers south of the inner city. It is diagonally traversed by the N1, with the N12 running along its northern border. The southern suburbs tend to be either solely industrial or solely residential, with most residents in the residential Glenvista real estate areas being long-term residents in well-established communities. A significant amount of underdeveloped and vacant agricultural land is publicly owned, and the city government is currently in the process of selling large tracts of it for development, which will aim to provide jobs for the residents of the informal settlements.

Rand Stadium, the oldest football stadium in the city, is located in the Southern suburb of Rosettenville. Turffontein was the largest concentration camp in Johannesburg during the Anglo Boer War. The camp was located where the Turffontein Race Course is now, and housed about 5000 people. The 700 who died of that group were buried on a farm called Klipriviers Berg in Winchester Hills. The racecourse hosts the Summer Cup, one of three major races in South Africa.

A number of attractions can be found within the Glenvista property area and surrounds, including the Newtown cultural precinct, golf courses, shopping centres, FNB Soccer City and the Coca Cola Stadium (two of the FIFA World Cup 2010 stadiums), the Market Theatre and Civic Theatre, Soweto Johannesburg Development Project (SoJo) trail, which runs from Pioneer Park past the James Hall Transport Museum and the Turffontein Race Course, through Gold Reef City and Theme Park, and past the Apartheid Museum to finish at the Hector Pieterson Memorial Park. Continuous efforts are being made to improve the attractions and facilities along this route.

There are also three airports servicing this area, including OR Tambo International Airport, Lanseria International Airport and Rand Airport. Additional facilities include a number of public transport options from mini bus taxis to metered taxis, railway and buses, plus an array of excellent public and private hospitals and medical facilities. Schools include nursery, primary and high schools as well as tertiary institutions, while a number of retirement villages are also found within the area, as well as security estates such as Aspen Hills Nature Estate and Meyersdal Eco Estate to name but a few.

With so much on offer for residents, Glenvista property offers the perfect area for buyers considering an excellent property investment in Johannesburg South.
