Sandhurst, Gauteng

Sandhurst is located in Region 3 of Johannesburg and is a suburb of Sandton. It is one of the wealthiest suburbs in South Africa and all of Johannesburg. Featured frequently in the media for staggering home sale prices reaching over R60million.

Sandhurst is where the cream of society lives, and it isn’t difficult to imagine, given the size of the homes. Probably one of the main factors about Sandhurst isn’t just the opulence - but the low-density of the area. Sandhurst emerged as a suburb of the bustling city over 50 years ago, and homes in Sandhurst veer towards the stately rather than the nouveau riche. There are also few cluster developments and the huge grounds on which homes are set means that the suburb of Sandhurst remains quiet, leafy and sedate, its tree-lined streets devoid of traffic except during peak hour, despite its proximity to Sandton’s Central Business District.

Unsurprisingly, all entrances to the suburb are boomed and security is high with extensive security services. The streets are heavily patrolled and properties are all behind six foot walls and higher. In fact, Sandhurst is closed to public thoroughfare. The suburb lies on the north western slope of the city providing quite beautiful views toward the Sandton skyline the Magaliesberg and is literally seconds from all that hums in this part of Johannesburg - Sandton City, Hyde Park shopping, the Inanda Club, Wanderers Cricket Club, and leading private schools in the area.
