Jozi Areas For Lifestyle Living On A Budget | JHC

In Joburg, aesthetics are everything, and they can be found everywhere. Part of the reason this city is a favourite among many citizens is that it offers so much range for the different lifestyles that people are living. In this article, we will take a look at some of the areas of Johannesburg that you can consider based on who you are, what you need, and what you enjoy doing. Plus, we will take you through some flat options from JHC. You could say this is a city cheat sheet, so to speak. 

 

The Johustler 

 

This is someone who is in Johannesburg because they are pursuing entrepreneurship goals. They may have a space in the city centre where their business operates and need to be close by to monitor the day-to-day running. In Johannesburg, Newtown, and the CBD side is where you will find most businesses. As you head towards Jeppestown, there are a lot of business opportunities and spaces in Maboneng all the way to Troyeville. So, where should you live if you own a business in the city centre? 

 

This depends on whether you want, or mind, the busyness of the city or not. If you like a little silence and city escapes, consider renting a flat in Troyeville. You will be close enough to your business but far enough not to hear the noise. 

If you want to be hands-on deck from start to finish, you can consider living in the city centre, close to your business. There are many options in Jeppestown, Hillbrow, and Newtown for you to live in so you can be in the buzz of the city while guarding your assets. 

 

The City Student 

 

If you are in the city of gold to secure your golden career moment, you may be looking for a place close to campus. Because most varsities are in Johannesburg’s CBD, you will most likely find a place in Newtown and Hillbrow. From Heritage View to Phumulani Gardens, JHC has bachelor, 1-bed and 2-bed flats for you to rent. Consider getting a 2-bed flat and sharing it with another student to minimise your costs. If you are looking for entertainment spots that offer safe spaces for people of all colours, genders, races, and sexualities, then Braamfontein is the place for you. 

 

The Jozi Family 

 

If you are moving to the city of lights with your own little light, then you may be looking for a child-friendly city living experience. Jeppestown and Troyeville have parks and schools that are child-friendly and safe, and you can find a playground in JHC buildings such as Elangeni Gardens in the heart of Newtown, in close proximity to Newtown Junction Mall which you may need in case the little ones need a doctor, or you need some groceries. 

 

Egoli’s Traveller? You’re Welcome 

 

Maboneng and Braamfontein are probably some of the most artsy cities you can expose yourself to when visiting Johannesburg but don’t limit yourself. Shoot all the way up and head to the north towards Rosebank, Hyde Park, Sandton, and even Paulshof, where you will be spoiled with galleries, restaurants, interactive gaming centres, and so much more. You can indulge in backpacking if that fits your lifestyle and tour Jozi to the fullest. You will most likely bump into friendly residents who will try to convince you that the city is worth staying at. We hope you fall for it because it is.
