Norwood and Orchards Property

Cosmopolitan, vibrant and trendy, Norwood and Orchards Property is a blend of beautiful old homes dating back to the 1920s, modern lock up and go townhouses and reasonably priced sectional title apartments.

Characterised by tranquil, tree lined streets, award winning restaurants and a safe secure neighbourhood aided by an active and committed community policing programme; Norwood and Orchards Real Estate is particularly attractive to families, entry level buyers and those seeking a secure inner-city locality.

Nestling between one of the most wealthy and elite of Johannesburg's suburbs, Houghton Estate, Orange Grove, Norwood and Orchards have managed to retain a quiet village ambience.

Regardless of their proximity to the inner city and centrally situated to the north of the Johannesburg CBD, Norwood and Orchards Properties are constantly in demand due to their proximity to Rosebank, Sandton and the city centre.

Municipal buses ply regular routes between the CBD and Norwood offering cost effective public transport alternatives.
