LIVING THE COUNTRY LIFE –
CLOSE TO
THE CITY
Serengeti Lifestyle Estate
While many people choose to live in lifestyle estates for the serene
surroundings and country feel, they still need to be close to the city – to
work, shop, access professional services, or frequently travel to and from the
airport. This is particularly true for young working professionals and parents of
schoolgoing kids who have to add a soccer-mom-taxi element to an already
hectic commute schedule.
That’s why estates on the edge of the city, or within easy access of a main
artery road into town, have a distinct advantage. And those with well-priced
apartment options are finding a keen market, including with investors wanting
good returns. Here is our pick of these sought-after estates, in three provinces.
GAUTENG
Serengeti Lifestyle Estate, in Kempton Park, is situated just off the R21
freeway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and 10 minutes’ drive from OR
Tambo airport. Yet you feel thoroughly immersed in the countryside here.
