Douglasdale Property is hot news these days! Dating back to its humble beginnings as part of an 1890’s dairy farm, the suburb - located between Bryanston and Fourways - has evolved into a vibey, multi-cultural, up-beat area for go-getter business executives, growing families and the young-at-heart! Scottish immigrants, Thomas and Janet Douglas built the original homestead on the banks of the Klein Jukskei River in 1905. Their small milk-producing enterprise, started in the 1930’s, grew into a thriving business which continues to this day as the well-known Douglasdale Dairy brand. This leafy, treed suburb also offers sweeping views of the distant Magaliesburg Mountains. From being a largely agricultural area, Douglasdale has evolved into a delightfully cosmopolitan community. During the last decade, huge growth within the service industry has enhanced the quality of life of Douglasdale Propertyresidents. Nursery schools and top quality government and private schools such as Bryandale Primary, Fourways High, Heron Bridge, Crawford and The Kings College abound. Modern centers like Fourways Mall and The Buzz, offering numerous shopping, dining and entertainment options, are a stone’s-throw away. There is access to various places of worship, and the Fourways and Olivedale Hospitals are nearby in the event of an emergency. Animal lovers will find several conveniently located veterinary clinics. Up-market gyms are within easy reach for the health-conscious, and the modern, efficient Douglasdale police station is located on Douglas Drive. For regular motorway users, access to the N1 is simple via the William Nicol on /off-ramps. Alternately, the Malibongwe inter-change is conveniently situated behind Olivedale as you drive towards Strydom Park. For “back-roaders”, residential streets like Grosvenor, Hornbill, Jacaranda, the Ness Avenue overpass, Curzon, Cumberland, and Peter Place, offer alternate routes to local schools and businesses as you head into the Bryanston propertymarket, Randburg or Sandton’s CBD. Whilst lots of the older free-standing Douglasdale homes still survive, numerous properties have been sub-divided and re-developed, creating hugely varied accommodation options. The diversity affords many singles, couples and families access to the enduring pleasures and convenience of this lovely suburb. Douglasdale Property boasts quiet cul-de-sacs where kids can ride their bikes safely, elegant cluster estates, secure, modern sectional title and retirement complexes, and large, bustling “village-style” communities where the younger set mingle. Short-term accommodation seekers will find abundant bed and breakfast facilities. In close proximity to prestigious Bryanston, prospective Douglasdale Property owners can now purchase top-quality homes with considerably more attractive price tags! For investors, a varied mix of available property generates lucrative rental opportunities, making Douglasdale one of the prime areas for rental real estate in South Africa. Douglasdale Village offers an amazing array of convenient shops. There are several quality restaurants, and a number of popular take-away outlets. Shopping at the Woolworths Food Store or re-vamped Pick ‘n Pay is a pleasure, and Total garages on both corners make filling up with petrol easy. Between the centres on each side of Leslie Road, and mentioning only some options, there is a hardware store, Clicks retail outlet, Crafter’s Market, vibey English pub, second-hand bookshop, hair dressing and beauty salons, doctor’s office, optometrist, chemist, florist, video/DVD shop, haberdashery and several ATM’s. Through the PNA stationer, and subject to availability, convenient mail boxes in the Pick ‘n Pay’s free parking area can be rented at reasonable annual rates. You get a lot of “bang for your buck” if you make the choice to live in the Douglasdale Property area! Up-market Monte Casino, offering trendy boutiques, hotels, restaurants, cinemas and casinos, is just around the corner. This well-known hot-spot boasts two theatres which produce various brilliant stage shows. Visitors to the charming Bird Park can enjoy meals at the picturesque café, view interactive bird shows, or ride the hot air balloon which offers breathtaking panoramic views.
