Alongside Houghton Estate in Johannesburg North lies the small residential area of Killarney. Once favoured predominantly by an older Jewish community, Killarney has developed into a diverse, sought-after neighbourhood. This recent change has in turn seen a significant increase in local property value in both Killarney and neighbouring Riviera.

Flats for sale in Killarney are ideal for young working professionals looking for ease of mobility to downtown Johannesburg or Sandton’s business district. In comparison to areas further north, apartments for sale in Killarney tend to be more spacious, providing lock-up-and-go convenience and good value for money. Some of the larger apartments in older blocks have been upgraded to provide all the amenities expected in a small house. This homely atmosphere is further enhanced by the thick walls, sizeable bedrooms and high ceilings. The older, more established properties for sale in Killarney are a rewarding prospect for investors, first time buyers or simply those looking to start from scratch. You could build your dream home or increase the value of a property by adding a touch of colour and personality through renovations. If you’re interested in finding a flat in Killarney to call your own, whether on a short or long term basis, take a look at our available property listings.
