The question is whether or not it will work.

“Imagine living in a place where everything you need is within walking distance, where neighbours are trusted friends and where you can enjoy the luxury and excitement of city living in the relaxed and safe atmosphere of a rustic town. A lifestyle allowing the children to walk to school again, and giving parents the free time they deserve.”

Those are the opening words in the latest marketing brochure for Heritage Hill, a development situated roughly midway between Centurion and Midrand. The previous iteration focused on healthy living in an “environment steeped in the finest traditions of community”.
