Bryanston has always been a fascinating suburb. It just happens to be the largest suburb in South Africa. Bryanston has over 3 600 cluster-type houses in secure estates, over 2 000 stand-alone houses and over 4 000 sectional title apartments and townhouses. With this variety of property, it is often considered to be a barometer for the general property market. It is known to be one of the most exclusive suburbs in Johannesburg based purely on the large number of homes valued at over R20m. It doesn’t only offer living and lifestyle opportunities to the extremely wealthy, the large number of well-situated sectional title properties and more affordable houses provide an opportunity for many more people to enjoy this sought-after area.

Over the last 12 months, over 920 property transactions were concluded in the suburb to a value of nearly R3Bn! Some of the original Bryanston mansions with their large grounds still exist, though many have been sold to developers who have created smaller high-class secure sectional title and cluster complexes that better serve the current lifestyles of lock-up-and-go. These have attracted many young professionals and first-time buyers.

It is a vibey, safe suburb and ideal for families with children who are attracted to all it offers. Including many great government and private schools, places of worship, shopping centres, Michael Mount organic village market and restaurants and hospitals.

There's also the Bryanston Country club, boasting a golf course, tennis courts, squash courts and swimming pool, the Bird Sanctuary and PWC bike park offering 13 km of mountain biking and trail running add to lifestyle choices, on the resident’s doorstep.

The ability to enjoy living in this centrally located suburb is also made available to many more people by the ability to rent out apartments and houses. There is a good rental market fuelled by the demand to live in the area, which also makes the area very attractive to investors.

The Bailey, being ideally located next to The Nicol Shopping Centre, offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to take advantage of its central location and we believe the rental demand will be strong and will also offer good capital gains when the market improves.
