HOUGHTON
Houghton is one of Johannesburg’s (and indeed South Africa’s) wealthiest and most established suburbs. From its famous Munro Drive, which offers residents some of the most spectacular views over the affluent northern suburbs of Johannesburg, to its close proximity to the more historic and intriguing central CBD, and with its breathtakingly beautiful landscaped gardens and impeccably manicured pavements, this stately suburb of Houghton was home to one of the world’s most famous sons – none other than former President of South Africa, Mr Nelson Mandela.
The upper regions of Houghton contain many buildings and homesteads which hold great historical value for the city of Johannesburg. Despite its Old World charm, and its feel of being one of the “Grand Olde Ladies” of South African suburbs, Houghton is engaged in an extensive programme of redevelopment and growth. There has been a substantial amount of refurbishment to the lavish mansions which are nestled alongside the undulating hills in this stunning tree-lined suburb, where residents enjoy their lifestyle in idyllic surroundings.
Houghton is a mere stones throw from several of Johannesburg’s other affluent suburbs, including Parktown and Killarney, and not a long distance from Sandton, which affords it a huge selection of top quality shopping and commercial access, whilst ensuring that Houghton itself is not cluttered with inordinate numbers of malls and shopping centres or for that matter, commercial buildings. There are some select restaurants and coffee shops in Houghton, and the suburb also has all the necessary amenities, including some top level schools and a world class golf course. Outdoor activities in the area include horse riding, hiking and bird watching.
Houghton is almost exclusively a residential suburb, and it derives all its commercial, retail and medical requirements from neighbouring areas, which serve to make owning real estate in Houghton a truly exclusive experience.
Property in Houghton fetches top dollar but the investor in return for his or her piece of real estate in this area, is going to own and/or reside in a mansion, as Houghton is one of those rare suburbs – much like Belle Aire in Los Angeles – which does not have any properties or pieces of real estate that do not fall into the highest value category.
