As one of the more established suburbs in Johannesburg, Northcliff is popular with property buyers looking for a quieter, yet an exclusive lifestyle.

Properties in the older part of Northcliff are situated on large grounds with lush gardens, while the newer developments in the west cater to the younger generation looking for more modern properties.

A big drawing card for the area is the fact that there is almost no industrial or commercial blocks in the area, making it the perfect neighbourhood for those who are looking for a peaceful outdoor lifestyle, while still being able to quickly access the world-class amenities on offer just a few minutes away from Northcliff.

Northcliff's large homes are nestled around a steep incline of the hill, and on the foot of Northcliff borders the suburbs of Fairlands, Blackheath, Cresta, and Berario.
