Westcliff, prominent, exclusive and daring will be an understatement for this Northern Johannesburg suburb. This nook has to be the epitome of what property investment is. Almost a tradition dating back to two of the oldest suburbs of Johannesburg, that were established to house the mine magnates of a bygone era of affluence and abundance which was reflected in the properties.

Being one of the oldest Westcliff has it all and more.

With Sir Herbert Baker architecture in abundance the homes echo the period with Tudor Style homes, Victorian, Colonial and modern, all fitting in with the landscape which is an architect’s dream. The homes on the slopes, like the Westcliff Hotel which followed many years after the suburb was developed, are terraced and dramatic.

The affluence has stuck to this exclusive suburb with property values all above the R 2,000,000 mark.
