Primrose

With spacious homes, Primrose is a perfect fit for families. The area includes Primrose Primary School and Primrose High School. The high school is excellent if your child is technically inclined as it focuses on STEM study fields. Beyond this, the community has a strong civic leaning. Whether it's collecting food for the needy, inspiring young girls, or marching in the spirit of Ubuntu, people here strive to make a difference. 

Highway Gardens

If security is your utmost priority, you'll love the secure Highway Gardens suburb. You can buy a home within a boomed area and enjoy the perks of restricted access. The additional monitoring has increased property values in the area, making it a worthwhile investment. The suburb is also a stone's throw away from the R24 and is in close proximity to schools, shopping centres, and O.R. Tambo International Airport. 

Solheim

Solheim is a suburb with a lot of options for prospective buyers and renters. There are neat townhouses offering a lock-up-and-go lifestyle, houses ideal for large families, and upmarket apartments with a picture-perfect view towards Bedfordview and Johannesburg. In 2019, the Solheim residents secured approval for road closures, providing an even safer living experience.

Klopperpark

Over half of Klopperpark's recent buyers are aged 36 to 49 years. It's not hard to see why. The area has a number of spacious, modern houses for sale. Your family will have access to schools like Klopperpark Primary School and Klopperpark Academy. Shopping for essentials is simple at the nearby SPAR. Meadowdale Mall and Eden Mall offer more variety and are each roughly 10 minutes away.

Buurendal

This sought-after suburb neighbours Hurlyvale and Highway Gardens. As such, it provides residents with all the amenities for comfortable living. There is the local JP Bezuidenhout Park for sporting pursuits. Schools include Willowbrook Montessori Preschool, Hurlyvale Primary School, and Curro Edenvale. There are also plenty of family-friendly places close by like Horwoods Farm, Edenvale Action Sport, and digzBEACH volleyball. All in all, a great place to put down roots.

With a name like "Sunnyridge", you know this suburb will welcome you with open arms. There's a cohesive community feel, and that's best seen in the popular local Facebook group. Sunnyridge Primary School is invested in the development of little ones. They host art exhibitions, anti-abduction workshops, and fun days. If you are blessed with a furry friend, the local Sunnyridge Veterinary Consulting Rooms ensures your pet stays in tip-top shape.
