Area Description
Hyde Park is an established, high-value residential suburb in Sandton, within the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, bounded by Jan Smuts Avenue and Winnie Mandela Drive, the arterial formerly known as William Nicol Drive. Townshend Road sits on the eastern side of the suburb, between the Sandton and Rosebank commercial nodes, in an area of large low-density stands alongside a growing number of secure apartment developments. Hyde Park Corner, the suburb’s upmarket retail centre, is about six hundred metres from the property and Hyde Park High School roughly seven hundred and fifty metres, with Craighall Primary a little over a kilometre west. Sandton City and the Sandton Gautrain station, which links to OR Tambo International Airport and Pretoria, are approximately two and two and a half kilometres north-east, placing the Sandton central business district within a few minutes’ drive. Rosebank Mall and Netcare Rosebank Hospital lie about three kilometres south, DP World Wanderers Stadium in Illovo a similar distance south-east, and Mediclinic Sandton in Bryanston some five kilometres north-west.
