Craighall Park, although very close to Sandton for example, is very different from its CBD business ethos and more 'enclosed Mall' culture. Craighall Park lies in the very heart of the green belt of Johannesburg, a city which shows up on a satellite photograph as a forest - a forest which is also, remarkably, the largest man-made forest in the world. You will have a very different kind of living, shopping and eating experience in the pavement-cafe ambience of the more suburban environs of Craighall Park. Like its surrounding neighbours of Parkhurst, Parkview, Parktown North, Greenside, Melville, Linden, Emmarentia, it has become well known in Joburg for its special character and fun life-style. These neighbourhoods are all becoming known for their vibe of being cosmopolitan, cutting-edge, middle-class, friendly and varied. It's where you will find character-filled areas with antique stores, collector's books and retro items, restaurants with pergolas and open court-yards, pavement café eating, where the sense of neighbourhood really means something. You will find difference, character, style and a sense of the avant-garde. … where you come to stay and play !!
