What if everything you need to live your best life was all within easy walking distance of your home? Yes, your gym, a glorious selection of vibrant restaurants, inspiring workspaces, parks and piazzas, and all the amenities you could want for your daily shopping, social, medical, banking and convenience needs. Living here saves you the cost, time and stress of travelling. You enjoy the well-being that comes from strolling streets designed to put pedestrians first and soak up that ‘special something’ that epitomises quality of life. This is New Urbanism, and it’s proving to be a truly unique investment opportunity.
New Urbanism is designed to be both people- and environment-friendly. New Urban design creates quality, connected living in diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant, mixed-use communities. Importantly, its people-centric approach results in better places to ‘live, work and play’. For property investors, this has the added benefit of higher, more stable property values and has found success internationally at Darling Harbour in Sydney, and Canary Wharf in London.
For residents, New Urban living means big savings in the form of less driving and less time in traffic, healthier lifestyles with more walking in more open public places, and less stress in a sustainable community that connects you to others and gives you are positive sense of place.
In South Africa, Melrose Arch has become the icon of this most desirable New Urban lifestyle.
Melrose Arch is a privately owned, maintained and operated precinct with its own excellent infrastructure. Located in the heart of Johannesburg’s leafy green northern suburbs, it is a complete lifestyle experience in an immaculate city with an unlimited choice for everyday needs.
