Finding new opportunity in Fourways

Listing your property for sale in Berea and chasing the bright city lights of Johannesburg can be scary, especially if you are unsure where to set roots in Gauteng.

This bustling province is alive with opportunity, and if you are dreaming of a work, live, play lifestyle then there is one area that stands above the rest at present, and that is Fourways.

This area has enjoyed incredible development in recent times and according to experts in the industry, it continues to perform even in tough circumstances. There is high demand for property here as it really taps into the fact that there are business, leisure and retail opportunities on every corner.

To showcase just how much of an impact it is making, this is what Sandra McKenzi, head of Adrienne Herch Properties’ Olivedale Brand, recently had to say about it, “Fourways is quickly becoming an entertainment, retail, commercial and residential hub that rivals Johannesburg and Pretoria CBD precincts such as Sandton, Rosebank and Menlyn.”

The areas she mentions are well established as top suburbs in Gauteng, and if Fourways is considered a possible rival then it shows just how much opportunity is on offer.

This is also reflected in the recent sales, with Lightstone data showing that majority of the property purchases in recent times have been done by younger buyers, who fit between the ages of 36 and 49. Property prices are also fairly reasonable when considering the convenient placement and the full range of amenities on offer.

So if it is opportunity you are after in an area that will give you a solid return on your investment, then Fourways might be a good place for you to start your search.
