Where to live in Johannesburg?

Dear Jana I agree with the previous comment: Pretoria is a beautiful area but the traffic to Benoni is bad, the road is also a toll road. I am unfamiliar with the schools in Benoni but you could contact the Department Of Education and request assistance. For your accommodation I am adding some web sites to view properties and trust that this could assist you. I will list a few web pages you could search to assist with accommodation below: OLX Junkmail http://www.freepropertyads.co.za/africa/south-africa/gauteng/benoni/ Here is the Junkmail web address https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDAQFjAAahUKEwjPxaidq5rJAhWG1BoKHQ6RBvY&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.junkmail.co.za%2Fproperty-to-rent%2Fgauteng%2Fjohannesburg%2Fbenoni%2F&usg=AFQjCNHkzvWOz_moXuCPomBrOwyu8c8Sqw&bvm=bv.107763241d.ZWU https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=11&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CGYQFjAKahUKEwjPxaidq5rJAhWG1BoKHQ6RBvY&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ananzi.co.za%2Fhouses-flats-for-rent%2Fflat-to-rent-in-benoni.html&usg=AFQjCNFrkFzIAutg5sHuuUCYlZa-6NngVw&bvm=bv.107763241,d.ZWU I also would reccommend a secure complex. Wishing you all the best and I trust the information would assist you. Blessings Linda

Good Afternoon Jana, We currently live in Johannesburg, I can tell you that Benoni and Pretoria are quite far away from each other. Benoni is a lovely area, Boksburg is close too. For safety reasons though you need to make sure you live in a complex/townhouse/estate with 24 hour security access which is a common feature here these days. We have really bad traffic here so make sure you are within 15km of Benoni or your husband will struggle with travelling. Where we find all of our houses to live is www.privateproperty.co.za Good luck, Vicki

Hi Friends, I am moving to Johannesburg in May'16 and need your advise with residential areas around Sandton having security and amenities
