Enjoy resort-style living: one-bedroom home at The Reid, Linbro Park, Sandton

Calling all fitness lovers and green-living aficionados who want to enjoy the best of both worlds: relaxed resort-style living in the city!

This cleverly designed one-bedroom, lock-up-and-go apartment offers a petit but potent lifestyle solution, appealing to frequent travellers, singles or couples, first-time buyers, down-scalers, investors, live-in-the-Cape/work-in-Jozi commuters, or any Joburg newcomers looking for a ‘softer’ or ‘gentler’ entry into full-throttle Johannesburg. It’s an airy, bright, and sunny space with a relaxed, peaceful energy. On the practical side, it offers fibre connectivity, a fully fitted kitchen with electric oven and stove, and space for a fridge/freezer, two under-counter appliances (dishwasher, washing machine), with an open-plan living/dining room that opens onto a Juliet balcony. Its en-suite bathroom features a shower and bathtub, and the bedroom has ample cupboard space. On the ambient side, you’ll find well-considered elements designed to maximise the space – opaque sliding doors, spa-like tiling, and neutral colourways, creating a luxury hotel-suite feel. Its location at The Reid lifts it above the mundane.

It’s all about lifestyle enhancement and practical living solutions. The Reid offers a clubhouse with boardroom facilities and concierge services, an eco-friendly carwash, laundromat, restaurant and pizzeria, games room, cinema and children’s play area, swimming pools (including a separate children’s pool), picnic and braai areas, and loads of sporting facilities including a Vitality-approved Training Science gym (complete with trainer), squash and padel courts, soccer field and fitness track.

The Reid is perfectly positioned in Linbro Park, between sexy Sandton and laid-back Modderfontein, which is quickly becoming known as the ‘Irene of Joburg.’ The Flamingo Shopping Centre (Woolworths, Checkers, Dis-Chem, Starbucks, Mr Price Home, and ATMs) is just five minutes away. Modderfontein is one of Joburg’s best-kept secrets and the perfect 15-minute neighbourhood (where everything you’ll need is within 15 minutes): it’s a relaxed area with lots of green open spaces including the Modderfontein Nature Reserve (Gauteng’s second largest private park), a charming historical village (with restaurants and quirky shops and businesses), plus food and lifestyle markets, a private hospital, schools, and shopping – and all within 5 to 10 minutes’ drive. Enjoy easy access to Sandton (via Marlboro Drive), Bedfordview and OR Tambo via the N3 freeway, which is a few robots away.

Developed by Balwin Properties – an award-winning developer celebrated for its investment in green living, public spaces, and public art – The Reid is conveniently close to much of Joburg's best, but decidedly detached from most of Joburg's stress, providing a relaxed resort-like environment.
