At Steyn City safety and security are not taken for granted; they are important considerations when investing in your lifestyle
Downsizing can take a little getting used to – after all, it’s a major change in lifestyle. However, at Steyn City’s flagship apartment development, City Centre, downsizing makes for a complete upgrade.
That’s because everything at Steyn City has been designed around comfort, convenience and safety, all adding up to the ultimate luxury: complete peace of mind.
One look at the neighbourhood community groups confirms this. In most suburbs, this serves as a platform to communicate the latest load-shedding or water-shedding schedules and, in dire cases, ongoing news of crime in the area. At Steyn City, the threat of crime has been removed so that the news shared on its community groups is for important estate notices and about the forthcoming events taking place around the development, like new retailers opening, golf tournaments and equestrian events, summer pool parties or restaurant specials.
That’s possible because of Steyn City’s extensive investment in security. In addition to biometric access control, round the clock foot patrols and a fully equipped 24-hour security nerve centre with over 600 cameras, City Centre residents enjoy added confidence with a further layer of security with its own triple biometric access and hundreds more installed cameras.
There are plenty of other features that have helped to take a load off their minds. The piped gas, backup generator and reservoir are all cases in point – after all, why worry about the load-shedding schedule when you know it wonít affect you?
It’s also worth noting that apartment living does not mean giving up on the extras that make life feel a little luxe. To the contrary, every home at City Centre boasts stylish integrated blu_line kitchens with Gaggenau appliances. They also have high ceilings and wide passages, and bedrooms are large enough to fit a king size bed – so there’s ample space.
Definitely distinctive
It’s also easy to make your City Centre home unmistakably yours. We all want to put our own stamp on our homes – which is precisely why it’s worth taking a look at the new two-bedroomed show apartment designed by Home Collab duo Ashley Hudson-Lamb and Johann Gerber.
Home Collab uses colour and texture to reflect the warm atmosphere that is so characteristic of Steyn City. Shades of green mimic the verdancy of the Steyn City parkland, while customised pieces (like the dining room table and headboards in all bedrooms, for example) create a note of distinction in each room. Bespoke wallpapers add to the feeling of intimacy in this special home – which accentuates just how perfect it is for entertaining, thanks to features like patios with stunning views, balconies and cosy nooks.
What’s on the menu?
Of course, while it’s enormous fun to host dinners and braais at home, it’s also exciting to try one of the eateries which have given Steyn City its fast growing reputation as Johannesburg’s ‘New North’ must-visit dining destination. There are several options and all are open to non-residents, from the bistro-style dining at Nineteen Restaurant located at the Clubhouse at Steyn City’s Nicklaus design championship golf course, to The Farmhouse, a great choice for languorous family breakfasts and lunches (with plenty of outdoor play equipment to keep the children occupied). Guests are also welcome at the new Café del Sol Steyn City, a name that is well known amongst Johannesburg’s foodies thanks to its accent on fresh, Italian fare.
The latter is just one of the many new brands to have created a presence at City Centre’s bustling upper piazza, where visitors can also browse shops like Le Creuset or The Gallery at Steyn City, and choose from an array of treats from the likes of Paul’s Homemade Ice-Cream or the Seattle Coffee Company.
These are just some of the places you can spend time at Steyn City. Additional recreational facilities provide everything you could possibly need to lead an active, outdoor-oriented lifestyle.
What’s more, although City Centre presents one particularly exciting example of how to live at Steyn City, it’s by no means the only homes on offer here. This beautiful, award-winning development has a home for everyone, from the executive seeking a pied-á-terre to growing families and empty nesters.
