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 😊
That (3) bedroom is everything. I was screaming “Julian😢, this is the one friend”. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am learning all I need to from you when I move toward this journey.
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.
I am showing my wife these videos ASAP. We pay $2500 for a 3bedroom in Damn corn fed Nebraska. I know we can work and pay this amount. I love the light in the 3bedroom. The view. 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.
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.
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.
To think I'm paying $2000 for a shoebox size apartment with no views in Boston makes me want to move back to South Africa. Julian continue your search, I think you can find an equally stunning apartment in a more convenient location like Rosebank and surrounding suburbs. Good luck...
@JulianAlbino Hey Julian. These are good recommendations as they are more central as well as Waterfall which is where the Mall of Africa is. You can also check out Woodmead which is next to Sunninghill. All the best!
@julianAlbino the places looks nice however please consider the places they recommend on this particular commet because (Bedford&l eastgate side) I've experienced a whole lot of mugging especially when you like to take walks. Please keep that in mind.
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!
My vote goes all the way to the 3 bedroom apartment!!! Its absolutely stunning and I feel like you personalizing the space would be so much fun and it would look amazing. Home #2❤️❤️❤️
Three looks like it would be the most comfortable. The one air vent in the second home is going to be terrible at night when you’re trying to sleep. Unless you buy a fan for your room.
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.
Definitely the last one, it's the perfect size - I don't know it's worth paying a bit more for just some natural sunlight - especially if it's not in the bathrooms. Also the color palette on Home #3 is amazing, I love neutrals - plus side it looks ready for move in.
Yessss glow!! 😍😍 I hope you find something!!! Don’t rent the second place bc sis is playing with your time and money and they don’t deserve your money!
Hey Julian in the three bedroom apartment that one AC unit it will take a long time to heat and cool the unit, but it will work. Also, you will have to keep it running to keep it at the right temperature, but if you have a thermostat, you can control the temperature in that unit which then you can control the electricity bill also,
Very true. You brought up a good point about the thermostat. But I think it’s controlled my a remote. I had a similar AC system when I lived in Mexico . Yea, it will for sure take a long time to heat & cool such a big space aka high electricity bill lol
Whenever I’m looking for a place I’m always excited to see a place that is newly furnished and that 3 bedroom penthouse is everything; great lighting plus the bathroom has both a shower and a bath tube plus the washer, dryer and fridge to top it off..👌🏾
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.
Edenvale is far from Rosebank and Sandton, it on the East of Joburg. The biggest mall close by is Greenstone shopping center and Stoneridge. Eastgate shopping center is also close by.
I would get the 3 bedroom and get some turbo fans lol it’s beautiful!!! I’m planning to make SA my second home. I’ll be visiting soon from Maryland and looking at some properties.
Hi Jullian, first time I hear a tenant has to pay for the keys and security separately usually all is inclusive. If you can just do your research. Unless you loose your keys then they charge
that was definitely my fave. budget most importantly. i have upcoming trips to afford lol i think the may bring down the price tho since its been sitting empty for 6 months. that should tell them something
Am glad you love our country..liked the 3bed though..its spacious and its juss opposite Eastgate Mall and to all the emnities..And if you need a helper am all yours anytime..will clean it spotless for you
The 2nd one is so gorgeous but my love R25 000 is a lot of money my word! Keep looking. Also my advise, look for something cozy and beautiful, you live by yourself, I don’t think you need a big place like why? You can get a nice place for like R15 000 at least I’m sure if you keep looking. Love you so much ❤😊
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.
I like #3 for only $1,080. Plus, #2 give off that yellow light affect, even with the natural sunlight… Probably because the kitchen is a light brown and not gray.
I love the 2nd penthouse in Bedfordview. The lighting, view and huge windows I liked, plus you kept saying it's warm so that's a big tick for me meaning the place will be warm in Winter. It's boring that there's no aircon considering the price it comes with
Definitely home #2✨ it might feel better once the ac is running, can’t believe they don’t have ceiling fans at least. The views were stunning🤩love the long videos too. Your hair is super cute too, keep that stylist😉💫
Hey Julian, contrary to popular belief Edenvale isn't that far. It's a great area with tons of shopping centres and amenities. It's literally 10 minutes away from Sandton. So you won't even spend a lot.
Generally South African rentals do not offer appliances. It also has to do with hygiene. You don't know what the previous people did and some people even warm their shoes and underwear in an oven and not much can be done to get rid of the stove.
Please get the penthouse.. that one is better … But the heat issue maybe the problem.. cause top floors are always hot .. from the roof.. The second one in the building is also nice.. but that building is amazing .. We live in NYC.. and the prices with views and the closeness of the city. We jelly… But congrats .. that second building is amazing ..
The question is, do you want to see the sun rise, 2 bedroom or sun set 3 bedroom. And remember, heat rises, so if you are all the way at the top, your electric may cost more to keep it cool. Good luck ❤
@@JulianAlbino Bedfordview is a nice are, it literally has all the amenities that u need. There is Eastgate Shopping center and Bedford center mall just 10 minutes walk apart.
No to Links field. The main road to linksfield has been rundown by drug dealers, and police in that area harass people because they are used to chase drugdealers. The suburb used to be very nice some years back. Anywhere from midrand to Sandton and all the way to N1 14th Avenue that goes to Clear water. All those areas are good and convenient. Stay away from East side and South side
Lovely homes, decent prices but the locations are too far though, it would be better for you to stay in Sandton/Rosebank area first. You'll still find decent apartments within the same price range :) keep looking and good luck
The first one is everything, lol but I would have to invest in a moped or something because that was way too nice, the weather is probably better because of elevation and never no traffic and the no shedding part... Def sleep on that!
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.
For security purposes,I recommend consider a security complex or estate.
Not a stand alone house
You glow when you are in South Africa. It means this land loves you. Make it home 🏡 at long-term period.
🤎✨
You do glow when you’re in South Africa. I was worried about you when you were in Brazil 🇧🇷

@@JulianAlbino it's really a gem
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.
That penthouse is definitely worth that money or money, you can always find something cheaper but it won’t be the same thing.
R25k 🤨

I believe it. Boston is pricey
I suggested he tried Greenstone. But, he doesn't seem fond of it
@tyali84 Woza sisi.
I can see you making a living in the penthouse & becoming a master chef 💖
Julian, try looking in Sunninghill and Rivonia, Paulshoff, lone hill, i think those areas would suit you perfectly ❤
Good to know! Screenshotting this
Lonehill would actually be perfect- you must also check out The Prison Break Market as something fun to do
@JulianAlbino Hey Julian. These are good recommendations as they are more central as well as Waterfall which is where the Mall of Africa is. You can also check out Woodmead which is next to Sunninghill. All the best!

3 bedroom penthouse is beautiful that's a go for me.
Yup! 👩🏽. I would just hang curtains to the ceiling.
@@vienicestyles Exactly
Edenvale is Tyla`s suburb .Not far from where you are though .Closer to Eastgate and Bedfordview.
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.

Thank you! The skin has been glowing since coming back to SA I swear lol
I really liked the three-bedroom one; it was spacious, Airy, and a great place to entertain
The 3 bedroom apartment is Gorgeous! But! Sometimes we’ve to stay within our budget. I’m pretty sure you’ll make the right choice 💜💜💜
I love this content and I'm from South Africa, definitely considering moving to Johannesburg after seeing these places.
The 3 bedroom for sure. Your dinner outfit was absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much!!
Julian your skin is glowing ✨️ 😮. The three bedroom 5 bath is my personal fave but it is quite expenny
thank you! the skin just glows different in the SA sun
The second ❤ so good it's overwhelming
its so perfect
My vote goes all the way to the 3 bedroom apartment!!! Its absolutely stunning and I feel like you personalizing the space would be so much fun and it would look amazing.
Home #2❤️❤️❤️
Three looks like it would be the most comfortable. The one air vent in the second home is going to be terrible at night when you’re trying to sleep. Unless you buy a fan for your room.
I pray you find the best home❤️
me too sis, me too
OMG! $1,351.00 for a three bedroom 2 1/2 bath! Great price In all that sunshine coming in is awesome!❤❤
Go for this one, the South is far much cheaper in everything than the North. You have all the shopping malls snd resturants just across. Thats a gem.
You love South Africa! Beautiful country

That R25K place is everything, and personally I would go for that. Spacious, bright and the views are to die for.
It’s so perfect, I wish I could pick it up and move it to rosebank or Sandton area
The lighting is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks friend- natural sunlight is always the best 🔥
Definitely the last one, it's the perfect size - I don't know it's worth paying a bit more for just some natural sunlight - especially if it's not in the bathrooms. Also the color palette on Home #3 is amazing, I love neutrals - plus side it looks ready for move in.
#2 - The 3 bedroom windows and the view are amazing!
Three bedroom definitely, you need light everyday☺ for content and just for you🙌
3 bed for sure. Natural light is everything 🎉
Hi, home 2 is lovely, you can inquire about installing air conditioning during summer. That will help with the heat❤
You can't go wrong because they're all awesome apartments... !!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
i like the 3 bedroom duplex. Be sure you have them run the air and see if it cools down
I like the 3 beds really roomy. Good luck finding what you want❤
OMG! The 3 bed, 2 baths penthouse "is to die for." Love it! Love it! Good luck.....❤❤❤
The 3 bedroom looks beautiful, has appliances and it looks secured. The views are also beautiful.
The 3 bedroom was beautiful. The lighting and view is perfect.
Yeah most rentals in SA, you bring your own appliances.
Wow, good to know 😭
@@JulianAlbinoNo, it's not the most actually, but it is a large minority of the rentals.
You must also try the bedford centre as they have everything there gym, grocery shops, movie theatre, resturants, apartments etc
Yes, I love me some Bedfordview .
The second apartment with the thrre bedrooms is a winner 🏆❤️❤️❤️
Yessss glow!! 😍😍
I hope you find something!!!
Don’t rent the second place bc sis is playing with your time and money and they don’t deserve your money!
Edenvale is very far it’s actually close to the airport
yikes! wow, thats good to know. thank you
@JulianAlbino but it's close to greenstone mall
pick 3rd apt.. the price is great.. you save $300 a month...But lets talk about how beautiful your skin looks.....
My word, this place is absolutely beautiful.

That was definitely a sign for you to not get the place. But once the other realtor got there. I love the three bdrm❤❤
Hi Jullian, first time I hear a tenant has to pay for the keys and security separately usually all is inclusive. If you can just do your research. Unless you loose your keys then they charge
wow this is good to know. Thank you
@@JulianAlbino Google the Estate Agent Board, I am sure you'll get help before committing
The second one is everything
I like the three bedroom with the natural light, but what’s most important, your budget or luxury?
that was definitely my fave. budget most importantly. i have upcoming trips to afford lol i think the may bring down the price tho since its been sitting empty for 6 months. that should tell them something
Am glad you love our country..liked the 3bed though..its spacious and its juss opposite Eastgate Mall and to all the emnities..And if you need a helper am all yours anytime..will clean it spotless for you

2 is the one Love your content!!!
Thank you!
I think the two bedroom is darker because it has drapes up and dark colored drapes at that.
That’s a good point. I’d take those drapes down and leave the sheer curtains up .
@@JulianAlbino Exactly 👍🏼
the second apartment is amazing
its so gorge!
That place is beautiful! The windows! The views! Ahhhh Baby get me out the states asap! Lol
And Julian that skin is glowing best! ❤❤❤❤
2nd apartment 🎉that agent is so nice❤
she was so funny
The second house is the nicest and most spacious. I love the large windows and vaulted ceilings in the living space!
The two bed rooooom is the wayyy
I loveeee second placement, the windows and stairs the bathroom, THE KITHENNNN!!!!!
just gorge right?! that kitchen will make me learn how to cook lol

Rivonia Sunninghill is beautiful too
I love the 2nd penthouse in Bedfordview. The lighting, view and huge windows I liked, plus you kept saying it's warm so that's a big tick for me meaning the place will be warm in Winter. It's boring that there's no aircon considering the price it comes with
I like it too, but in the winter time it will be quite cold with the big windows. No insulation to keep the heat in
Yes that's true, I didn't think of that. Keep searching, you'll find a lovely home and I trust the decor will be beautiful too ❤

Good video . SA is more expensive than I would have guessed .
try looking in the westrand in ruimsig specifically , i think you might find something cute
That Mama Samba Restaurant is pretty nice , you just reminded me of the time I came to visit ilovo Sandton last year

So true, the heat will rise and summers here are no joke….NYC prices are out of control. I don’t see how people afford it!
Loved this apartment, u should go for it

Me too, just wished it had more natural sunlight
Wena ungowethu no need to adopt you, South Africa would love to parent you😂...actually you are our Siphesihle...much xoxo for you Jay...❤❤🎉🎉
