Property for sale in Douglasdale, Sandton

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.

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.
