Hi guys I need some advice. I'm pretty new to Gauteng came up in 2014 and used to work in Pta East.

I got a new job in Johannesburg Central , Rissik Street and travelling is killing me even using the Gautrain but I need to have my vehicle on me all the time because Im in the construction industry and do site visits. So I need to move to Johannesburg. End of Story.

My problem is I don't know Johannesburg that well, which is a nice upmarket area you will advise that will be best suited for someone working in Jhb CBD( Rissik street)?

I tried Bedfordview but people have told me it maybe 15km away but traffic is terrible.

Sandton is lovely about 30 to 38km away I know people there but how is travelling from there to CBD? I hear it's a disaster. People told me Sunninghill or fourways will be good traffic will flow?

Greenstone is 20km away.

Rosebank is about 10km away it's perfect it's close it's everything. I love it. Rentals 2bed flat is not the cheapest.

Alberton people told me South of Johannesburg is a mess in the morning.

Guys please of you could advise me I'll really appreciate it. I need some clarity as I'm very confused on what to do. I know you can't really escape traffic in Johannesburg but which area will be my best bet?

My budget is 6k to about 7.5k

Thank you In advance.
