About Alexandra

Alex is right next door to Sandton, just a quick hop over the M1, so plenty of folks commute in daily via Louis Botha or Marlboro Drive. It's one of Mzansi's oldest townships, dating back to 1912, sitting along the Jukskei River. O.R. Tambo, Rand, and Grand Central airports are all close by for visitors flying in, and there's over 100 EV chargers dotted around. The real gem: Alex's low-rise streets stare straight across at Sandton's skyscrapers, old meets new right there.
