Carnival City Lifestyle Estate is a large-scale, mixed-use residential development in Brakpan, East Rand, designed to combine resort-style living with modern convenience and family-friendly amenities[1][3].
The development, managed by Profica and developed by Livres in partnership with the Carnival City Property Company and Sun International, will be anchored by the existing Carnival City Casino and Hotel entertainment complex, providing residents with direct access to over 13 restaurants, live shows, ten-pin bowling, movies, go-carting, and other attractions[1][2][3].
Key features of the estate include:
- Over 50 hectares of secure, mixed-use living space, with five distinct residential estates (East Village, West Village, Greenwich Village, Upper Westside, Upper Eastside), each offering a unique mix of freestanding homes and upmarket apartments[1][2][3].
- More than 3,000 modern homes, with units designed by leading South African architects for a balance of quality, comfort, and contemporary style (ranging from 39m² to 72m²)[1][3].
- Resort-style amenities including a central park, large swimming pool, clubhouse, children’s play area, meditation garden, braai (barbecue) areas, and a dedicated dog park[2][3].
- A network of green walking and cycling trails connecting the residential districts to open spaces and recreation areas, supporting an active, outdoor lifestyle[1][4].
- A private school planned at the estate’s western entrance, catering to both primary and secondary education within safe walking distance for residents[2][3].
- Commercial and retail centers, including a 10,000m² neighborhood market and a village-style commercial center with co-working spaces, ensuring everyday needs are within reach[2][3].
- Advanced security measures such as 24-hour guarded access, with fiber-optic internet, solar backup, generators, and facilities designed for a holistic, modern lifestyle[2][6].
The estate promises a relaxing retreat for residents, intended to provide a “vacation for life” atmosphere while delivering all the conveniences of urban living in close proximity to Johannesburg and O.R. Tambo International Airport (less than a 30-minute commute)[3].
The first phase, Carnival City East Village, is now on sale, with construction of initial units expected to complete by December 2024[1][3]. Entry prices start at R499,000, including bond and transfer costs[8].
