Woodhill Golf Estate has for the past couple of years been know as a "Must Buy" area. Viewed by many agents as the one of the top Golf Estates in Gauteng. We've all heard the experts citing the importance of the location. In fact, they place so much emphasis on this that they often repeat the word three times. While just about everyone knows that buying a home in the right area is vitally important, most people are much less certain about what makes a particular location good, or even great. Woodhill certainly on paper is as good as it gets. But what makes Woodhill Golf Estate so popular?
“There are several key elements,” says Anthony Boshoff, CEO of The Property Shop Group, “but these days, it all really starts with safety. People naturally prefer to live in Woodhill because there is little to no crime. Home Buyers want to feel safe in their homes and will pay a premium for this, which is why homes in Woodhill fetch higher prices than similar properties elsewhere – and appreciate at a faster rate too.” The estate location is also a major selling point.
You can tell when you’re looking at properties in a safe neighbourhood, he says, because residents will feel free to walk around, take part in outdoor activities and interact with their neighbours.
