The properties. 

Although there are a number of Sandhurst apartments and complexes on offer, a large portion of the property market is dominated by lavish, large family homes that are set on equally large plots set far back from the road. These properties typically boast four or more bedrooms, along with luxurious facilities ranging from swimming pools to gas fireplaces, majestic driveways, impressive entryways, forest-like gardens, roomy bedrooms, designer bathrooms, lavish kitchens, and every other convenience imaginable. The majority of properties are also extremely secure, allowing residents to enjoy the sense of feeling far removed from the city, despite being on its doorstep. 

The area.

The area itself is a short distance from the Sandton CBD, as well as various restaurants, shops, art galleries, hotels, and other world-class amenities. Within the broader Sandton area and its surrounds, family-friendly attractions include Cumberland Bird Sanctuary, Liliesleaf Farm, Montecasino, Rosebank African Craft Market, Mushroom Park, Adventure Golf Fourways, Galaxy World Ten Pin Bowling, Tree Top Adventures, The Wilds, Rietfontein Nature Reserve, Artjamming Melrose Arch, Rockfit, ECHO Dog Park, Fourways Farmers Market, and many others.

The schools. 

One of the biggest attractions for families seeking property to buy in Sandhurst is the proximity to excellent schools.
