The video shows well-maintained apartments with impressive security features including proper fencing and gated access. Each unit is located on upper floors accessible via stairs, with individual gates for added security. The apartments feature clean tiling throughout and fresh paint, creating a modern aesthetic that rivals more expensive accommodation.

Inside, the open-plan layout maximises space efficiently with a compact kitchen area equipped with both gas and electric stoves. The units include clean bathroom facilities with basins, showers, and toilets, plus adequate storage space for residents' belongings. Solar panels and prepaid electricity metres make these apartments both environmentally friendly and budget-conscious.

Why Alexandra rentals are trending

According to JHC, the 30% rule suggests spending no more than 30% of gross monthly income on rent. For someone earning R15,000 monthly, the ideal rent should not exceed R4,500, making these R4,000 apartments perfect for budget-conscious renters.

With Alexandra's proximity to expensive areas like Sandton, where bachelor flats often cost over R5,000 with potentially inferior conditions, these units offer exceptional value.

The 30% rule helps renters maintain financial stability by leaving room for other essential expenses like food, transport, healthcare, and savings. Smart budgeting becomes crucial when rental costs in Johannesburg continue rising, making affordable options like these Alexandra apartments increasingly attractive to students and young professionals.

Finding quality accommodation under R4,500 allows residents to allocate more money towards building their future while still enjoying modern amenities and security features that rival more expensive properties.
