My City Loft Puts Newtown, Marshalltown and Maboneng on a Renter's Doorstep

Summer changes the way people use the inner city. The evenings are longer, the streets around Newtown and Maboneng stay busy after work, and weekends are spent outdoors at markets, squares and rooftop spaces. My City Loft, which rents secure studio and one-bedroom apartments in six buildings across the Johannesburg CBD, is using the start of the summer season to show renters what each of its neighbourhoods offers on the doorstep, from museums and markets to colleges, malls and transport routes.

For many people, the reason to live in town is simple: less time travelling and more time for work, study and everything else. Choosing the right building is about more than the flat itself. It is about which part of the city a renter wants to walk out into each morning.

Newtown: culture, colleges and the Metro Mall

Three My City Loft buildings sit in and around Newtown. International House, Jeppe Circle and Metro Views all offer contemporary studio and one-bedroom units with bright, open-plan living areas, and all three are within walking distance of the Newtown Mall.

The cultural side of Newtown is close by. Residents can walk to The Turbine Hall, World of Beer, Museum Africa and the Sci-Bono Centre, and Beyers Naude Square is a short walk away. Jeppe Circle sits opposite the Johannesburg Library, and International House is very close to it. Metro Views is a short walk from Mary Fitzgerald Square and Beyers Naude Square, and is also close to Ellis Park and Rhodes Park.

All three buildings are close to local colleges and universities, with easy access to the Metro Taxi Rank and Metro Mall. Banks, convenience grocery stores, restaurants, takeaway eateries and small businesses offering everything from cellphone repairs to hair salons are close at hand.

Marshalltown: Library Gardens

Library Gardens, in Marshalltown, places residents right by Joburg Mall, adjacent to FNB and close to leading banks. Major fast food chains are a stone's throw from the door, and clothing retailers are spread across the area. The building is close to the Metro and Bree taxi ranks, and residents can walk to Mary Fitzgerald Square, Beyers Naude Square, the Newtown Mall and the cultural venues of Newtown.

Library Gardens also lists more on-site extras than some of the other buildings, including play areas, parking and braai and chill areas, which makes it a useful option for renters who want outdoor space at home during the summer months.

Near Maboneng: 111 Kerk Street

111 Kerk Street is located in the heart of Johannesburg central, close to the Maboneng Precinct. It offers contemporary studio and one-bedroom flats and has one of the fullest lists of features in the portfolio: Wi-Fi, DSTV plug and play, a gas geyser, 24-hour security, play areas, a crèche, parking, rooftop views, prepaid electricity, a braai area and a work space.

The building is within walking distance of the MTN and Bree Street taxi ranks and close to the Kerk Street market. The Kerk Street (Jumah) Mosque and the Cathedral of St Mary the Virgin are nearby, along with convenience grocery stores, clothing outlets, restaurants and takeaway eateries. Several colleges and places of learning are also close by.

Near Braamfontein: Station Lofts

Station Lofts sits in the heart of the CBD, near Braamfontein, with easy access to the Bree taxi rank and Park Station. It offers studio and one-bedroom flats, and residents are close to Joburg Mall, the Metro Taxi Rank and Metro Mall, banks, grocery shops and a wide range of local restaurants. For students and workers who travel through Park Station, the location keeps the daily commute short.

What every building shares

Whichever neighbourhood a renter chooses, the core of the offer is the same. All six buildings provide 24-hour security, with on-site and off-site monitoring, prepaid electricity, Wi-Fi availability, DSTV plug and play, a work space and rooftop views. Online support is available for residents who need help.

All six are also well connected. Each building lists easy access to Park Station, buses and taxi routes, and most list the M1, M2 and M31 for those who drive. That makes the portfolio a practical choice for people who need to reach work, college or other parts of Gauteng without a long daily trip.

Who the buildings suit

My City Loft's flats to rent in Johannesburg CBD suit students attending the many colleges in the inner city, young workers who want to live close to their jobs and anyone who relies on public transport. Studios offer a compact, affordable home for one person, while one-bedroom units give a little more space for someone who works from home or shares with a partner.

For renters comparing places to rent in Johannesburg CBD, the neighbourhood often decides it. Someone studying near Braamfontein may prefer Station Lofts. Someone who enjoys the arts and cultural venues of Newtown may choose Jeppe Circle or International House. A family with young children may lean towards 111 Kerk Street or Library Gardens, where play areas are listed among the features.

Planning a move before the new year

The weeks before the festive season are a good time to view Johannesburg CBD apartments, while the city is still in its normal working rhythm and there is time to compare buildings and ask questions. Viewing in November and December also means a renter can see the neighbourhood as it will be in summer, with its markets, squares and transport routes in full use.

My City Loft invites renters to look at each building, compare neighbourhoods and enquire about apartments to rent in Johannesburg CBD through the enquiry forms or WhatsApp on its website. Building details and enquiry forms for all six locations are available at https://mycityloft.co.za/.
