About Cosmo City: A Vibrant Tapestry in Johannesburg
Cosmo City isn’t your average Johannesburg suburb. From its inception, it was envisioned as a shining example of successful urbanization. What truly sets it apart is its multiclass, multiracial, and multinational character. The city’s 12,000 housing units offer a diverse mix of typologies, ranging from fully subsidized homes to bonded properties and rental units. This creates a vibrant tapestry where people from all walks of life can build a future.
But Cosmo City’s appeal extends far beyond its demographics. It’s a thriving community ideally situated near three major roads: Malibongwe (Hans Strijdom), DF Malan, and Northumberland. This prime location offers excellent accessibility. The city itself sprawls across 1,200 hectares, with a remarkable 15% of the area dedicated to parks and recreational spaces. This commitment to green spaces fosters a healthy and active lifestyle for residents.
But that’s not all. Cosmo City boasts the full range of municipal services and social facilities. Twelve schools, three shopping malls, health facilities, police stations, a community center, a library, a cemetery, and numerous churches ensure residents have everything they need right at their doorstep.
