  • I think I found the perfect new home in South Africa! Its been a month since moving to South Africa and the house hunt continues here in Johannesburg! Today, I tour 3 new luxury apartments in this video ranging from $1,000-$1,300 usd / R 20,000 - R 25,000. Let me know what you think and if its worth the price OR should I keep looking?

    For security purposes,I recommend consider a security complex or estate.
    Not a stand alone house

      I wanted to say the same thing. He genuinely looks more happier when he's in SA. I watched when he was in Brazil and he looked very down and he's a traveller so he's used to new adventures. But he really looked lost there, in SA he looks comfortable 😊

    Check out Brynston , Rivonia, Sunninghill, Woodmead, Steyncity, Waterfall Midrand , Kyalami, Fourways Cedar.
    Further is North Riding..
    Basically the Northern Suburbs are great, safety, travel distance for daily needs like malls etc and will prevent isolation from friends due to distance.

    I really think you can find something better for that amount honestly. R25000 is someone's salary in South Africa and people live in great places that go for half the price. Keep looking, Julian.

The airiness of the place. Its so beautiful. Thank you for letting us see these apartments. Honestly these apartments are worth the wait in the heat LOL and her being late. I like both of them but the 3 bedroom was beautiful... SA you are life.

    • @zusibone
      @zusibone Місяць тому +8

      I just want to bring context, $2500 is a serious salary in South Africa ZAR46000 per month going to rent is diabolical. 3 Bed is literally about R9000 to R12000 in South Africa. At most R20000 in a luxurious estate. The devil is liar.

    First of all the skin! Whatever you are using , keep using it. The 3 bedroom looks really awesome. It's all about the space and the light , I must mention the double volume windows...I die for. You spoke about the house in Edenvale, it might be great and stuff but you have to consider security unless it's in an estate. What's nice about Edenvale is that, it's central to literally everything Sandton , Eastgate etc. Good luck on your home search!

  • @sihletngcobo
    @sihletngcobo Місяць тому +1

    The 25k is best. The reason you think is hot is because all the windows are closed if you open them up it will be cool very quickly because it’s a really high so you get stronger cooler winds up there.
    If you considering the 2 Bed, its also good the reason it feels dark is because it has curtains. If you open up the curtains it will be brighter.

    Kensington Bedfordview is way out of the way for you. Stick to the northern suburbs and check out the Gautrain and Gautrain bus routes. In eastern suburbs, you will definitely need a car. The best apartments were Hillbrow and Berea but that's a no-go zone nowadays. The old Houghton area will have old style luxury apartments. If Houghton is good enough for Nelson Mandela, then it's good enough for you... 🤣

    I am a property manager. The penthouse for the win with that view. However you need to figure out the air conditioning situation. The glass will make it warm for sure and you know that heat rises. The 2br is not a bad option if you can’t find anything else. If it is not checking your the keep looking.

    Waterfall and kyalami has some nice apartments , everything that you need it’s in close proximity such as grocery shops , gym and restaurants ….. polofields estate , the precinct in waterfall … even a house within the estates in midrand would be around the your price range or even less but got amazing places. Also close to mall of Africa and gautrain to get around if you want to visit your friends in rosebank or sandton.

    Keeping looking Boo... they are ALL viable & have pros/cons but you aren't completely sold on any of them. I am just keeping it a STACK with you🤣

    Hey Julian, not sure if you’re still on the look out for a place but I think you’d really enjoy any of the northern suburbs and you’d pay a fraction of the price.
