The suburb of Woodmead falls within the larger Sandton’s northern region of Johannesburg.Woodmead is a mixed property usage suburb which comprises freehold homes and cluster homes with a mostly exclusive status.It is also a partly commercial use suburb with a few large companies that have established businesses in the suburb due to its prime location in relation to the major commercial hubs of the greater Sandton. The prime location of the suburb extends to its close proximity to Midrand which is roughly 10km away thus minimizing long periods of time wasted on congested freeways. The main reason many businesses choose Woodmead as a base to work from is the access to industrial hubs like Kew, Isando, Sebenza and Jet Park too because the suburb is on the main route to both Durban and Cape Town thus being a central dispatch centre for various businesses. Homes in the suburb are of a modern architecture, spacious and the status of the suburb is carried through to the tree lined streets and lush landscaped gardens offset against the spectacular and sometimes dramatic architecture. It is a suburb that speaks to executives and the well-heeled alike with the individuality of the architecture with some more affordable conventionally designed homes which does allow the upper end of the middle-class to enter the executive market at this vantage point. All four major highways intersect at Woodmead but this beneficial factor does not detract from the tranquility the suburb offers.For the residential side of the suburb important amenities like schools are within close proximity. Here is a list of some of the reputable schools; St Peter’s College, Wendywood High School, Rivonia Primary School and Sandton Primary School.
