Apartments Fourways

Fourways is not that bad if you work in the Fourways/Bryanston area. PS you must know the back routes.
 
I would totally recommend Lonehill.

I stand to be corrected but 1 housebreaking the whole of last year. The LRA (Lonehill residents association), manages the area fanatically. The LRA takes full responsibility for cleaning the suburb, painting of road markings, road/street signs, maintaining all grassy areas and parks. Someone walks around the area the whole day picking up litter. No billboards or advert boards are allowed on light poles.

We have 24 hour Fidelity security patrols both on foot and vehicles. 24hour cctv coverage of the streets.

And most importantly a woman can comfortably and safely jog alone through LOnehill any time of day or night.

..... yes????
 
I stay in one of the "sands" in Douglasdale. Our offices are 1.8km from where I live. Luckily I work flexi hours so it usually takes me 5 - 10 minutes to get to work. If I leave between 7AM - 8AM it could take me 30 minutes. This morning was a good 45 minutes as the backroad I usually take behind Leslie Avenue was closed off. Leslie avenue is horrible in the mornings, especially having the sun blind you all the way up to William Nicol.

The complex we stay in is wonderful. Expect to pay about R5000 for a small 1 bedroom garden unit. About R7000 for a 2 bedroom loft.

Lonehill is the place to be though. Don't go near Cedar Park/Square. What a horrible area.

Me as well. But I work near Parktown so I travel like 20km in the morning and 20km back in the evening. I work felxi hours so only leave after 9am. Takes me about 30 - 40 minutes to get to work. The only issue I pick up on William Nicol is when bloody metro decides to cause a traffic jam with their silly little road blocks.

So what does it matter if the OP prefers the American word over the British term?

Because Qwiksilver is a snob. He also crapped his pants because the 384 internet guys are being upgraded to 1mb.

An apartment is an american word to make people in flats feel important.

Like calling a maid a "domestic engineer" :D

Also, no. You're comparing apartment, a perfectly acceptable term for a flat that is in wide use across the world, to 'domestic engineer', a word that does not exist and which is not used by anyone unless they are stupid or making a joke.

Because Cedar Park/Square is next to Cedar Road which is a cluster ****.

This exactly. The roads and pavements are also in shocking condition.
I stayed in a complex in cedar park, and by the months the complex just went downhill.
 
I think the entire Fourways is not a nice area to live in. Just seems like it is overcrowded and crammed full of townhouses with no character whatsoever.

The area doesn't. But inside some of the complexes is a completely different story. But only some...well mine. You'd never guess that there is absolute chaos and mayhem outside of the main gate.

An American co worker once told me that in the US they use both words but that a flat has its own street entrance, whereas an apartment can only entered from within the building. In the UK people refer to an apartment when they have paid too much for it :) which is why you only seem to get apartments in London in the UK :)
 
AS others have said, the traffic there is *shudder* ...

Going up Witkoppen from Montecasino to just after Porsche hsa take me between 40-50 minutes every day for the past 2 weeks ... that's around 4-5km. Kills me :(
 
takes me 20 mins... craigavon to sunninghill down witkoppen,, u need to drive smart bud.
