Horizon is an old established mixed-use residential suburb of Roodepoort that came into being as the need for housing of the miners on the Witwatersrand increased.
There is a Horizon that residents enjoy when residing in the suburb overlooking a large part of the suburb.
Adding commercial property into the dynamics of the pricing structure of the suburb has its positive outcome that is a slightly higher average market value.
Other factors that lend the suburb to its name are things like the diverse architectural styles of homes and apartments in the suburb that date back to the inception of the suburb and changing with market demands where modern architecture also caters to buyers.
Commercial property in general consists of commercial property and sectional-title apartments on top of the commercial building complexes. Traditionally these apartments could not be sold but legislation has changed and interested buyers and buy-to-let investors grabbed the opportunity to reside in the suburb for reasonably low costs. These apartments have caught up to the market trends and now compete for the same interested buyers that would traditionally purchase apartments in apartment building complexes.
Freeholds homes naturally attract established families from a broad income spectrum as the suburb has homes that are reasonably priced to the modern and slightly higher valued properties. Renovator investors also have numerous homes to select on the sales market that have all the key features that set these period homes apart from the rest of the suburbs homes.
Being an established suburb means there are numerous established schools that service the suburb namely Hoerskool Roodepoort, Horizon View Primary School, The Kings School Roodepoort and West Ridge High - High School.
Malls that residents frequent are Horizon Shopping Centre, Florida Junction Shopping Centre, Westgate Shopping Centre and Clearwater Mall.
The suburb has convenient access to commercial and industrial hubs in the various precincts of Johannesburg West, North and North West.
