Located in vibrant Braamfontein, the property is within walking distance to University of the Witwatersrand, and just a short commute to University of Johannesburg, making it highly attractive to students. The area is a proven hotspot for student accommodation due to its proximity to campuses, transport routes, and lifestyle amenities. Many residences in the area are within minutes of Wits, some as close as a 5–10 minute walk.
This is a high-yield, cash-flow-positive investment, ideal for investors looking to tap into Johannesburg’s ever-growing student rental market, where demand continues to exceed supply. Start earning from the first day.
