Hi everyone, I'm finally moving out of home and relocating closer to work—this will be my first proper apartment! I'm focusing my search on areas that are convenient to the N1/Buccleuch interchange: Sunninghill, Paulshof, Rivonia, Waterfall, Vorna Valley, Carswald, Halfway House, Halfway Gardens, and Kyalami. I've been using Property24 and PrivateProperty, but every complex I look up on Google reviews seems to be full of serious complaints about two things that are really putting me off: Excessive, loud partying/noise that ruins weekends. Serious roach/pest infestations that management neglects. I know the unhappy people are the most vocal, but I'm looking for the opposite—complexes with a proven positive track record. I need a stable and peaceful environment for my first time living alone. Can anyone who currently lives, or has recently lived, in these areas please recommend a specific complex or estate you would personally vouch for? I'm looking for a place known for being: Quiet & Peaceful: Not a "party complex" full of short-term renters. Immaculately Maintained: Clean, with solid management that keeps pests/roaches under control. Well-Run Body Corporate/Management: They respond quickly and don't let basic maintenance slide. Any specific complex or estate names would be a massive help in filtering my search and avoiding a disastrous first-apartment experience! Thank you for the local insight.   submitted by   /u/sterilezaza [link]   [comments]
