What to know locally in Sandton

Bryanston and Morningside owners often commission four-bedroom homes of 300 square metres or more with a guest suite, a study and a double garage, sometimes as a double storey with a basement. Modern flat roof designs are fashionable in Illovo and Parkmore. Smaller owners in Rivonia look for granny flat plans, while in Alexandra families build upward on small stands, with engineers checking each slab.

Homes and buildings in Sandton

Sandton mixes high-value houses with dense towers. Bryanston, Hyde Park, Morningside and Sandhurst have large stands where old houses are demolished or rebuilt with swimming pools, guest suites and high walls, and Rivonia, Sunninghill and Illovo have townhouse clusters. Apartment buildings and offices fill the node around Maude and Rivonia Road. Alexandra, close by, sees backyard rooms and shop extensions on tiny stands. Design is often handled by registered architects, with draughtspersons working under them for documentation. Many homeowners want 3D renders to show the committee or a bank, and Sandton's quiet streets are tightly governed by scheme rules on coverage and height.
