While the rest of South Africa laments the passing of the holiday season, residents at Steyn City’s City Centre continue to feel as though they’re still on vacation.

That’s because those who live at this award-winning development, strategically located between Sandton, Midrand and Pretoria, have the one thing we all wish for: time. Even before the parkland residence launched, developers Steyn City Properties recognised that this is the one commodity we are most short of, and decided to create an address especially designed to give those who live here more minutes in their day.

The result? Fewer hours wasted in a daily commute between home, school, the office and the kids’ activities. More time spent making memories with those you love.

That sets the stage for a relaxed pace of life that’s rather foreign these days. It’s precisely what’s missing as we settle back behind our desks after weeks of not having to watch the clock: now that the long awaited holidays have passed (in the blink of an eye, it feels), that familiar sense of work dread and tedium sets in. Except here in the parkland residence, where residents need only step out of their front door to enjoy their favourite pastime, or even take advantage of facilities – such as the recently launched 300m lagoon – that inject a feeling of fun into every day. Whether you want to enjoy a sunset stroll with the dogs, watch your kids tackle an ollie in the skatepark, perfect your golf swing, or relax with a spot of birdwatching or fishing – it’s all here.

A lifestyle to be cherished

The ongoing Covid pandemic has created a heightened awareness of just how precious those fleeting moments of pure joy are. With lockdowns, life became unpredictable, and we’re all striving to make the most of every moment. Again, Steyn City’s facilities are a boon here, making it possible to incorporate hobbies into your lifestyle.

Steyn City plays into the post-Covid lifestyle in other ways, too, making it possible to take up all the benefits of a sophisticated Zoom Town without the major upheaval of a semigration – or giving up the benefits of living close to major city infrastructure, like Lanseria International Airport (just 15 minutes way) or the super-regional Fourways Mall. The development makes it possible to access these amenities in minutes, thanks to its location between Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Unparalleled comfort and luxury

When you’re spending more time at home, it helps if that home is extraordinarily comfortable – which the City Centre is. Whether one-, two-, three- or four-bedroomed, or a penthouse, every home in this development has been designed as a confluence between luxury and convenience, offering unparalleled spaciousness (the double storey homes, in fact, measure up to a generous 371m2). Practical living is a recurring theme, so although each home is undeniably luxe, with finishes that induce instant envy, they are also intended to provide all the space a growing family could need, with a selection of apartment homes with private study, separate TV lounge, internal lift, en-suite bedrooms and large patio space for outdoor living.

It all adds up to a place where January feels as carefree and joyful as the month of December.

Prices range from R2,3m to R35m.
