Relocation to Randfontein

[MidnightZA]

I got a job offer in Randfontein yesterday, and after much discussion with the other half. We decided to take it.

I need to start looking for a place to rent. I know nothing about the area so I need some recommendations. The company is based in Aureus.

What is a good neighbourhood thats not too far from there?

If you know anyone that's renting out a 2 or 3 bedroom property in/around the area, feel free to put me into contact with them.

Any other advice is welcome, like things to do and see there etc.

I grew up there haven’t been there is years. Greenhills used to be a nice and leafy area. Curious how it is now.

Although I didn't grow up in Randfontein, used to pass through there a lot as a kid as we have/had family there.

My mate stays in Greenhills, not a bad area..he has been there 30 years odd...Only experienced one robbery in all that time and thats because he was followed from his workshop and had cash,

But when I was last there about a year ago, there were a crap load of potholes in and around Randies...
Sadly this is the state of most towns and cities I think though these days...

Greenhills is a nice area, there’s two mini malls close by as well. Nice sized plots at reasonable prices too if you considering buying.

Dont want to buy. Next year we starting the process to emigrate to Aus. It may take a few months or it may take a year or two, either way buying would be a waste.

Ive been looking at rentals in Greenhills and surrounds. Still need to find a suitable place

 

[MidnightZA]

Bump for the new year

@marbro you know these things

 

[Hackson]

Wouldn't stay there. Drive in from Krugersdorp. Nice areas like Noordheuwel.

Look at Helikon park, I currently stay there, Stones throw away from a Pnp. Safe and affordable

Tambotie mall is also close,
Avoid the area closer to the bird park though. It floods when there is heavy rain and screws up the houses near by
edit-This is a nice looking complex

3 Bedroom Townhouse to rent in Helikonpark - Randfontein

This is a beautiful pet friendly Townhouse at a bargain price, offering an Open plan kitchen & Lounge, Three well sized Bedrooms, One Bathroom consisting of Bath, Toilet & Basin in a Secure complex. Outside offering a Double carport big enough to fit 2 to 3 cars with lockable Gates. Garden...

As others mentioned, Greenhills is a decent area, but its a bit further out.

If you are keen on the plot life, bit more space etc, Loumarina plots is lekker. I lived there for 9 years.

Pm me if you want me to chat further, Randfontein is a good little town.

Pray for you, we will.

Cocaine or Tik?

Not to pleased about the move but its motivation to emigrate ASAP. The added process engineer experience in mining will also be a benefit for my CV for emigration

That part of the world, you won't see adverts for renting. You'd have to fight someone for possesion of their house. My advice, drive through after 19:30 when everyone is passed out from their drinking and fight their children for the house. Just be careful, some of the kids bite.
