Waverley Property

Waverley is a small, residential suburb situated in the heart of Johannesburg's northern suburbs. Characterised by wide streets, lined with large, leafy trees and established homes set in attractive, spacious grounds, this 'garden' suburb with its verdant surrounds, welcoming feeling and strong sense of community spirit, makes Waverley a highly desirable residential destination.

Offering a good mix of old established family homes, renovated masterpieces, top end cluster developments and a range of townhouse options, sought after Waverley provides something for every buyer.

Perfect positioning adjacent to the M1 Highway provides easy north bound travel to Midrand, Centurion and Pretoria or south to Johannesburg's CBD and southern suburbs. Waverley's convenient, central location allows for easy access to many of the major shopping and business precincts of the Greater Johannesburg area, including Melrose Arch, Rosebank and Sandton.

Waverly is well catered for with a choice of good private and public schools nearby and is home to Johannesburg's oldest school, St Mary's. It is supported with an array of health care and recreational facilities, small neighbourhood shopping malls and an assortment of places of worship including churches, synagogues, mosques and a Hindu temple, located both within the suburb itself and in neighbouring suburbs. This last factor speaks to the welcoming diversity of the suburb which is truly representative of the South African demographic.
