Greenstone Hill
Encyclopedia
Greenstone Hill is a suburb on the East Rand of Gauteng Province in South Africa
. It has only recently been developed although much of the surrounding areas such as Edenvale
and Modderfontein have been developed and established for quite some time.
Greenstone Hill, along with its neighbouring suburb of Edenvale, are within easy access and close proximity to 3 major roads, these being the N3 (also known as 'Joburg - Durban Highway'), the R24 which runs from Johannesburg City Centre to O.R. Tambo International Airport, and Modderfontein Road (R25).
The nearby Longmeadow Business Park has made Greenstone Hill a convenient place to purchase residential property and as a result, a lot of residential development has been constructed or is still under construction here. These properties are mostly in the form of town houses and apartments within a Body Corporate, but there are also many free standing houses within gated communities. A 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom town house can be purchased for around R750,000 (approx. USD$100,000).
