If ever there was a time where you would learn exactly how you feel about your living space, then this is it. With the majority of us spending all our time within the confines of our own homes, we have all wished we had some more space, an extra bathroom if we are living together, a larger kitchen, or perhaps even a smaller place that requires less upkeep. Sounds familiar? Then why not use the extra time you have on your hands to start looking at some of the amazing apartments available in and around Johannesburg?

Choosing a new home is not a task to be taken lightly. The more time you have to consider your requirements as well as your options, the better. What is more, by looking at the apartments available in Johannesburg, you will be able to form a more detailed list of what exactly matches your needs.

The price of apartments can vary greatly throughout the larger Johannesburg area, so your first step is to determine what amount you would like to spend on a new place. After identifying the price range that best suits your budget, you next want to identify the areas in which you would most like to live. This is the fun part. Johannesburg is a vibrant urban centre with many, varied residential areas and everything from compact, modern units and penthouse apartments to stately, classic flats.

To help you start your search, here is a quick list of the most popular areas in Johannesburg for luxury apartments:

1. Johannesburg CBD

Let us start right at the heart of it all – the original Joburg CBD. This central district has seen incredible rejuvenation over the last few years. With many businesses returning to the heart of the city, there has been a huge spike in mixed-use developments, resulting in a great selection of luxury, serviced apartments.

2. Sandton

Arguably the most well-known and affluent suburb of the region, Sandton is home to the headquarters of many national and international companies, world-class shopping centres, and some of the best restaurants and entertainment venues in South Africa.

3. Fourways

This region includes a selection of affluent suburbs that show incredible investment growth, especially because of its proximity to the Sandton CBD. With a selection of modern security estates, private hospitals, schools, shopping centres, and entertainment zones, this residential area offers something for everyone.

4. Randburg

Located west of Sandton, the demand for apartments in Randburg is at an all-time high, especially towards the side that borders Sandton. This is due to the fact that you can still find property that is great value for money while also enjoying easy access to the most central and popular work and play areas in the region.

5. Bedfordview and surrounds

The suburbs towards the east of the Johannesburg city centre also offer great potential. With a possible Gautrain station planned for the Modderfontein area, this region offers one of the hottest investment opportunities in and around the city.

6. Melville

Change the pace by settling in this trendy, bohemian suburb. One of the older and more established suburbs of Johannesburg, Melville boasts some of the city’s most beautiful scenery, stunning street cafés, a lively nightlife, and wonderful restaurants. It is also home to the Melville Koppies Nature Reserve, where residents can go for relaxing walks and breathtaking views.
