Is there pet friendly, furnished housing in Johannesburg?

Hi Alison, finding pet friendly housing in Joburg is definitely possible, although unfurnished may be easier to come by than furnished with that budget. Bedfordview is a residential area, and parts of it are quite upmarket so you're likely to find decent accommodation. There are also lots of townhouse and cluster developments in the area, which would offer a good option from a security point of view.

I'd suggest looking at websites such as privateproperty.co.za and property24.com - both these sites list properties to buy or rent and you select your budget and area. There are also listings of estate agents on these sites, which are worthwile contacting, as they can assist you to find a home. So this would be a good start to investigate what's available in the area. Another good thing to do would be to talk to your colleagues, who most likely also live in the area - they may be able to give you some insights about where to live in relation to the office, as well as the traffic, nearby shops etc.
