Craighall Park (original) (raw)
Craighall Park, Johannesburg
Craighall Park is one of Johannesburg�s upmarket northern suburbs that lie slightly to the west of Sandton, a collection of leafy neighbourhoods that form a belt on the western side of the city between Parkhurst and the sprawling malls of Sandton�s Central Business District.
Craighall Park is also one of the oldest suburbs of the city, and Craighall Park�s large properties and epic gardens that lend the neighbourhood a sense of green tranquillity despite the proximity to Jan Smuts Avenue are a throwback to the era when plots, rather than stands, were on offer here.
You�re well placed to get around the city from Craighall Park - it lies conveniently between Beyers Naude Drive and Jan Smuts Avenue, two of the major arteries in the northern spheres of Johannesburg that easily get one from A to B, notwithstanding traffic, and you�re close to the M1.
Hyde Park shopping centre is just around the corner and popular for art movies on a Tuesday evening amongst locals who throng just under the escalators. It�s just as busy on a weekend morning when Jo�burgers do breakfast in style. And both the River Club golf course and the Sandton Sports Club are close by for those seeking a round of golf.
A stay in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg is incomplete without a trip to the energetic hub of fashion, coffee shops and numerous shops that is Sandton City.
