Fourways, Sandton

About Fourways

Fourways, originally an outlying suburb of smallholdings north of Sandton and Johannesburg, has recently seen a sudden spurt of fast development, both commercially and residentially, especially since the extensive redevelopment of Fourways Mall commenced.

Fourways is ideal for safe, secure living with pockets of high-density living. As properties vary from upper-income housing and lifestyle estates to middle-income apartment and townhouse complexes, a mix of residents has been attracted to live or buy in Fourways - from students to retirees, single folk, young families and professionals.
