It’s a busy place with a lot of business opportunities. Crime and municipal service can be a challenge at times but people are friendly and the community overcomes any of those challenges together. Price of housing is reasonable. Cost of living is affordable. Some good schools but in the private space.

Roodepoort is one of the safer areas in Johannesburg with well maintained roads and good service delivery. I would classify Roodepoort as an upper-middle class area with less crime than in some of the surrounding areas. The houses in the area are generally well maintained and neat with lush gardens.

Although Johannesburg is beautiful city, driving on the roads can be quite dangerous. Most of the time traffic lights don’t work, and traffic is quite bad. However, it can be quite entertaining to watch the taxi drivers pull off risky turns. Also, the power is out quite frequently so that makes the day to commute quite challenging.

Living in Johannesburg should be an interesting experience for anyone moving there for the first time. You get to see and live all extremes of life, from abject poverty to mountains of wealth, all on the same street. Now, Johannesburg is well known for its’ high crime rate however, living in this city is a different experience altogether.
