| Complex | Studio / 1-bed | 2-bedroom | 3-bedroom | Levy typically included? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Leonardo | R14,000 to R18,000 | R22,000 to R30,000 | R38,000 to R55,000+ | Partially |
| Michelangelo Towers | R16,000 to R22,000 | R26,000 to R38,000 | R45,000 to R70,000 | Yes |

What R12,000 to R15,000 per month gets you
In this range you are looking at a 1-bedroom unit in a well-maintained but older Sandton Central complex, or a 2-bedroom in a suburb 3 to 5km from the CBD (Morningside, Sandown edge). Security will be adequate but not the biometric-and-app tier. Expect a shared armed response contract rather than on-site guards.
What R25,000 to R35,000 per month gets you
This range opens up 2-bedroom units in The Leonardo, The Woodlands, and Michelangelo Towers. At this price point, expect hotel-grade access control, on-site management, generator coverage for common areas, and in some cases inverter coverage for the unit. The Woodlands offers the best value per square metre in this band.
Negotiate on levy inclusions
Levy inclusion in the rental price is a negotiation point. When levies are excluded, add R1,800 to R4,000 per month to your cost calculation depending on the complex. Always confirm this in the lease before signing.
