Always close to your community
Steyn City, where a life of carefree and luxury living is only the start of its beautiful story
ADVERTORIAL
he community group may be an annoying yet necessary modern day form of communication to help you keep abreast of what’s happening in your suburb, whether it’s about a power outage, a burst water pipe or – worst of all – a crime.
But, what if this community group became the bearer of good news instead; a source to consult if you wanted to find out where to eat, what exciting events are taking place and whether there are any fabulous new retailers in town? At Steyn City, that’s exactly what it is all about. And, it’s not surprising, given that the community is united by a shared purpose: complete peace of mind.
TSEEKING SERENITY
It’s the kind of peace of mind that comes from knowing that no matter what you’re doing, no matter where you are, your home is completely safe and your family is secure.
Steyn City is able to offer this thanks to excellent security measures including biometric access control, around the clock foot patrols and a fully equipped security hub with more than 600 cameras.
Added to that is the City Centre’s back-up generator and reservoir, and piped gas, which means the shortages that may affect the rest of the outlying areas won’t affect residents’ lives.
It’s one of the conveniences that adds to creating the luxury life synonymous not only with City Centre, but with
Steyn City at large – a theme that is carried through by clever design that ensures easy access to more than 2,000 acres of parkland with world-class facilities to explore. The fact that all maintenance is taken care of is yet another plus. It means residents are free to enjoy facilities like the 300m lagoon and 2,000 acre indigenous parkland at any time, without concern.
IDENTITY AND INDIVIDUALITY
Having maintenance seen to is one of the many benefits that comes with making the switch to apartment living. Moreover, for those concerned that an apartment has less of a sense of identity than a freehold house, rest assured: apartments designed by Home Collab prove quite the opposite.
For a beautifully designed en suite, two-bedroomed luxury apartment, their team made extensive use of materials such as bespoke wallpaper to create a tactile, textured environment that speaks to all the senses.
The designers worked tirelessly to incorporate what they view as the pillars of the Steyn City ethos – a sense of community, harmony and serenity – and ensured that these were reflected in the apartment with a look that emphasises warmth and peace.
This was achieved first with a palette choice that invites the outdoors in, with a range of green shades echoing Steyn City’s signature parkland, and metallic accents adding a touch of luxe. The result is dynamic, cosmopolitan and urban, and speaks to the kind of lifestyle where friends and family are always welcome.
Features such as spacious balconies, patios with magnificent views and cosy indoor areas lend themselves to intimate gatherings with family and friends. A sense of effortless style is carried throughout the entire apartment: in the dining room through the custom made dining table and in the bedrooms it shows in the bespoke headboards with leather detailing. The use of plush soft furnishings and Hertex fabrics adds to the cocoon-like ambience.
ALL IN ONE PLACE
Living in a special space may tempt one to never want to leave home. But at Steyn City the outdoors beckons with the excellent facilities open to residents including the Nicklaus designed championship golf course, the 45km floodlit promenade (for serious runners and strollers alike), 50km mountain biking track, indoor aquatic centre, gym, tennis courts, play nodes, outdoor exercise stations and restaurants.
More recently, City Centre has expanded its offerings with the establishment of a vibrant retail wing at its upper piazza where you can browse stores like Le Creuset and The Gallery at Steyn City.
Here non-residents are also welcome to indulge in a treat at Paul’s Homemade Ice Cream or linger over lunch at Café del Sol Steyn City – one of the many excellent restaurants priming Steyn City for the “little black book” of Johannesburg’s foodies.
A wide range of dining experiences is available, from the bistro-style meals at Nineteen Restaurant to The Farmhouse, a venue that specialises in making memorable moments over long tables with generations of family and friends. City Centre is but one example of life at Steyn City. The development offers homes for people at all life stages, from busy executives to growing families and empty nesters, and with all interests catered for.
This blend has given rise to a multifaceted community – as you’ll find if you ever join the community WhatsApp group. Apartments are priced from
