Why you should consider living in Gauteng

If you're looking to grow your career, live in a central neighbourhood to work and leisure and enjoy competitive professional growth, Johannesburg is the city for you. RealGlen Properties has listings in a number of Johannesburg's most sought-after suburbs for you to choose from. 

 

 

Known internationally as the City of Gold, the region of Gauteng thrives off a bustling economy. The quality of employment opportunities far outweighs the rest of the country, with numerous industries and sectors to get involved in. Pretoria is included as being just as lucrative a town as Johannesburg. With easily accessible freeways and business parks, the likelihood of securing financial freedom and taking advantage of a home loan is far higher in Gauteng than in other parts of the country. 

 

If it's entertainment and quality of life you're after, some of the best international acts regularly perform in these cities. You will be spoilt for choice with shopping malls, world-class restaurants, art galleries and rich historic landmarks to visit. There are also a variety of outdoor activities and popular theme parks where the whole family can make a day of it. 

 

 

If you're wondering how a simple migration to Gauteng can have such an impact on your life, consider the fact that Johannesburg has an extremely concentrated level of wealth. With Pretoria as the capital, there are many jobs available at a governmental level to pursue. 

 

Along with the leverage of higher-paying jobs, many Gauteng residents are using this to their advantage to start their own businesses. The spirit of entrepreneurship is rife among those who are able to afford to follow their dreams. The freedom to be able to spend your paycheck on important things that contribute to your future is not one that should be overlooked. Enjoy having access to lucrative job opportunities and proximity to the best entertainment and leisure hubs in South Africa.

 

 

The need for housing that caters to the professional nomad is on the rise. With remote working being the new norm, smart apartment buildings with monthly rentals and benefits such as free Wi-Fi, on-site gyms, communal workspaces and more are in high demand. These apartments are usually occupied by the young and ambitious who commute between cities and work hand in hand with an on-the-go lifestyle. 

 

The housing market in some of Gauteng's best suburbs offers properties in safe, secure estates and neighbourhoods. For families and those who are looking to live in Gauteng long-term, you can beat the crime statistics by investing in a home that's closely guarded. 

 

Consider a home in the following estates: 

The surrounding suburbs of Benoni, Kempton Park, Sandton, Alberton, Edenvale and more also offer freestanding homes. You can live in an area with high walls, spacious lawns, gleaming pools and plenty of conveniences around the corner.

And if you're an avid entrepreneur, we have commercial, industrial, retail and mixed-use properties to invest in as well.
