MOVING TO SOUTH AFRICA: I FOUND MY NEW HOME??

[@Maux-98]

For security purposes,I recommend consider a security complex or estate. Not a stand alone house

[@zusibone]

You glow when you are in South Africa. It means this land loves you. Make it home 🏡 at long-term period.

[@JulianAlbino]

🤎✨

[@hollieshaven]

You do glow when you’re in South Africa. I was worried about you when you were in Brazil 🇧🇷

[@keiram.2287]

I'm not from SA 🇿🇦 but I approve this message 👌🏽

[@ashlouw5350]

I wanted to say the same thing. He genuinely looks more happier when he's in SA. I watched when he was in Brazil and he looked very down and he's a traveller so he's used to new adventures. But he really looked lost there, in SA he looks comfortable 😊

[@LadyAndrews1]

That (3) bedroom is everything. I was screaming “Julian😢, this is the one friend”. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am learning all I need to from you when I move toward this journey.

[@JulianAlbino]

The 3 bedroom was gorgeous!! It’s the one , I just wish it was in a more central location 😮‍💨

[@ladyras]

​@@JulianAlbino it's really a gem

[@davidkotiletsoari2663]

I really think you can find something better for that amount honestly. R25000 is someone's salary in South Africa and people live in great places that go for half the price. Keep looking, Julian.

[@Philasande_Shange]

That penthouse is definitely worth that money or money, you can always find something cheaper but it won’t be the same thing.

[@MoAfrika]

R25k 🤨

[@truthhurts7045]

I am showing my wife these videos ASAP. We pay $2500 for a 3bedroom in Damn corn fed Nebraska. I know we can work and pay this amount. I love the light in the 3bedroom. The view. The airiness of the place. Its so beautiful. Thank you for letting us see these apartments. Honestly these apartments are worth the wait in the heat LOL and her being late. I like both of them but the 3 bedroom was beautiful... SA you are life.

[@JulianAlbino]

lol they were definitely worth waiting in the heat lol . I believe it about paying $2,500, but wow in Nebraska?! that doesnt sound like fun lol

[@zusibone]

I just want to bring context, $2500 is a serious salary in South Africa ZAR46000 per month going to rent is diabolical. 3 Bed is literally about R9000 to R12000 in South Africa. At most R20000 in a luxurious estate. The devil is liar.

[@_theerealnono_7694]

​@@zusiboneIt is a penthouse, so yes it's pricey, but there are some who'll pay it.

[@chelseamuusha6949]

I love how your videos always feel like a catch up with a friends fr

[@JulianAlbino]

🤎 im glad you enjoy the content friend

[@tyali84]

To think I'm paying $2000 for a shoebox size apartment with no views in Boston makes me want to move back to South Africa. Julian continue your search, I think you can find an equally stunning apartment in a more convenient location like Rosebank and surrounding suburbs. Good luck...

[@JulianAlbino]

I believe it. Boston is pricey

[@LM-he7eb]

I suggested he tried Greenstone. But, he doesn't seem fond of it

[@siyabonganxumalo4574]

@tyali84 Woza sisi.

[@gerritbruwer89]

I can see you making a living in the penthouse & becoming a master chef 💖

[@heavens3061]

Check out Brynston , Rivonia, Sunninghill, Woodmead, Steyncity, Waterfall Midrand , Kyalami, Fourways Cedar. Further is North Riding.. Basically the Northern Suburbs are great, safety, travel distance for daily needs like malls etc and will prevent isolation from friends due to distance.

[@sharissharee-pm2kq]

He needs to find away to get a car

[@reneeditirwa59]

i totally agree with you

[@deboragittens3363]

3 bedroom penthouse is beautiful that's a go for me.

[@vienicestyles]

Yup! 👩🏽. I would just hang curtains to the ceiling.

[@deboragittens3363]

@@vienicestyles Exactly

[@joope11]

I really liked the three-bedroom one; it was spacious, Airy, and a great place to entertain

[@tebogonthaudi85]

First of all the skin! Whatever you are using , keep using it. The 3 bedroom looks really awesome. It's all about the space and the light , I must mention the double volume windows...I die for. You spoke about the house in Edenvale, it might be great and stuff but you have to consider security unless it's in an estate. What's nice about Edenvale is that, it's central to literally everything Sandton , Eastgate etc. Good luck on your home search!

[@JulianAlbino]

Thank you! The skin has been glowing since coming back to SA I swear lol

[@gretaberry4983]

The 3 bedroom apartment is Gorgeous! But! Sometimes we’ve to stay within our budget. I’m pretty sure you’ll make the right choice 💜💜💜

[@1wnatalie]

Julian, try looking in Sunninghill and Rivonia, Paulshoff, lone hill, i think those areas would suit you perfectly ❤

[@JulianAlbino]

Good to know! Screenshotting this

[@lindelwangwenya]

Lonehill would actually be perfect- you must also check out The Prison Break Market as something fun to do

[@sumayamahomed5265]

​@JulianAlbino Hey Julian. These are good recommendations as they are more central as well as Waterfall which is where the Mall of Africa is. You can also check out Woodmead which is next to Sunninghill. All the best!

[@JulianAlbino]

Thank you! I will add this to the list. This is helpful 🙏🏽

[@angelamalebe7804]

@julianAlbino the places looks nice however please consider the places they recommend on this particular commet because (Bedford&l eastgate side) I've experienced a whole lot of mugging especially when you like to take walks. Please keep that in mind.

[@nathanielmasetla9781]

The 3 bedroom for sure. Your dinner outfit was absolutely gorgeous.

[@JulianAlbino]

Thank you so much!!

[@TheHuny85]

Edenvale is Tyla`s suburb .Not far from where you are though .Closer to Eastgate and Bedfordview.

[@Relebohilemm]

I love this content and I'm from South Africa, definitely considering moving to Johannesburg after seeing these places.

[@ADivaForLife]

The lighting is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JulianAlbino]

Thanks friend- natural sunlight is always the best 🔥

[@justinjp2219]

The second ❤ so good it's overwhelming

[@JulianAlbino]

its so perfect

[@marthaditlopo229]

I pray you find the best home❤️

[@JulianAlbino]

me too sis, me too

[@dearzuko]

My vote goes all the way to the 3 bedroom apartment!!! Its absolutely stunning and I feel like you personalizing the space would be so much fun and it would look amazing. Home #2❤️❤️❤️

[@talldarkandlovely5882]

Julian your skin is glowing ✨️ 😮. The three bedroom 5 bath is my personal fave but it is quite expenny

[@JulianAlbino]

thank you! the skin just glows different in the SA sun

[@boostedgixxer]

Three looks like it would be the most comfortable. The one air vent in the second home is going to be terrible at night when you’re trying to sleep. Unless you buy a fan for your room.

[@fortheloveofjan]

OMG! $1,351.00 for a three bedroom 2 1/2 bath! Great price In all that sunshine coming in is awesome!❤❤

[@lungamqotsi]

Definitely the last one, it's the perfect size - I don't know it's worth paying a bit more for just some natural sunlight - especially if it's not in the bathrooms. Also the color palette on Home #3 is amazing, I love neutrals - plus side it looks ready for move in.

[@tiffanysithole3242]

Go for this one, the South is far much cheaper in everything than the North. You have all the shopping malls snd resturants just across. Thats a gem.

[@Lee0331]

#2 - The 3 bedroom windows and the view are amazing!

[@alexiszakarra1532]

That R25K place is everything, and personally I would go for that. Spacious, bright and the views are to die for.

[@JulianAlbino]

It’s so perfect, I wish I could pick it up and move it to rosebank or Sandton area

[@sihletngcobo]

The 25k is best. The reason you think is hot is because all the windows are closed if you open them up it will be cool very quickly because it’s a really high so you get stronger cooler winds up there. If you considering the 2 Bed, its also good the reason it feels dark is because it has curtains. If you open up the curtains it will be brighter.

[@maxiemillan7786]

Hi, home 2 is lovely, you can inquire about installing air conditioning during summer. That will help with the heat❤

[@dawnstardler9766]

3 bed for sure. Natural light is everything 🎉

[@sophieotieno6816]

You love South Africa! Beautiful country

[@carolthomas7135]

OMG! The 3 bed, 2 baths penthouse "is to die for." Love it! Love it! Good luck.....❤❤❤

The second apartment with the thrre bedrooms is a winner 🏆❤️❤️❤️

[@helloxonsfan]

You can't go wrong because they're all awesome apartments... !!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@vickicampbell2736]

i like the 3 bedroom duplex. Be sure you have them run the air and see if it cools down

Whenever I’m looking for a place I’m always excited to see a place that is newly furnished and that 3 bedroom penthouse is everything; great lighting plus the bathroom has both a shower and a bath tube plus the washer, dryer and fridge to top it off..👌🏾

it has everything i need - just a bit far from where i want to be. decision, decisions

I like the three bedroom with the natural light, but what’s most important, your budget or luxury?

that was definitely my fave. budget most importantly. i have upcoming trips to afford lol i think the may bring down the price tho since its been sitting empty for 6 months. that should tell them something

[@paballom8202]

Love your content Julian! Have you looked apartments in Sandown and Strathavon? All the best!! 🤍

[@JulianAlbino]

Thank you! I will add those areas to my list!

[@emilysimelane6376]

Hi Jullian, first time I hear a tenant has to pay for the keys and security separately usually all is inclusive. If you can just do your research. Unless you loose your keys then they charge

[@JulianAlbino]

wow this is good to know. Thank you

[@emilysimelane6376]

@@JulianAlbino Google the Estate Agent Board, I am sure you'll get help before committing

[@fortheloveofjan]

I think the two bedroom is darker because it has drapes up and dark colored drapes at that.

[@JulianAlbino]

That’s a good point. I’d take those drapes down and leave the sheer curtains up .

[@fortheloveofjan]

[@fifs4sa]

Yeah most rentals in SA, you bring your own appliances.

yikes! wow, thats good to know. thank you

[@Makganya01]

​@JulianAlbino but it's close to greenstone mall

she was so funny

[@sanelemwelase]

Edenvale is far from Rosebank and Sandton, it on the East of Joburg. The biggest mall close by is Greenstone shopping center and Stoneridge. Eastgate shopping center is also close by.

[@carewithcompassion280]

I loveeee second placement, the windows and stairs the bathroom, THE KITHENNNN!!!!!

[@JulianAlbino]

just gorge right?! that kitchen will make me learn how to cook lol

[@johnmooney6862]

Hey Julian in the three bedroom apartment that one AC unit it will take a long time to heat and cool the unit, but it will work. Also, you will have to keep it running to keep it at the right temperature, but if you have a thermostat, you can control the temperature in that unit which then you can control the electricity bill also,

[@JulianAlbino]

Very true. You brought up a good point about the thermostat. But I think it’s controlled my a remote. I had a similar AC system when I lived in Mexico . Yea, it will for sure take a long time to heat & cool such a big space aka high electricity bill lol

[@TaylorVaughnBei]

I would get the 3 bedroom and get some turbo fans lol it’s beautiful!!! I’m planning to make SA my second home. I’ll be visiting soon from Maryland and looking at some properties.

[@StevenQuintana-y1d]

The two bed rooooom is the wayyy

[@marcusgrey8788]

Keeping looking Boo... they are ALL viable & have pros/cons but you aren't completely sold on any of them. I am just keeping it a STACK with you🤣

Signed in, love you Julian.❤😊

[@lareignvee8309]

Waterfall and kyalami has some nice apartments , everything that you need it’s in close proximity such as grocery shops , gym and restaurants ….. polofields estate , the precinct in waterfall … even a house within the estates in midrand would be around the your price range or even less but got amazing places. Also close to mall of Africa and gautrain to get around if you want to visit your friends in rosebank or sandton.

[@JulianAlbino]

thanks for the tips!! i will add this to the list!

[@reneeditirwa59]

best advice

[@jeancpt]

Kensington Bedfordview is way out of the way for you. Stick to the northern suburbs and check out the Gautrain and Gautrain bus routes. In eastern suburbs, you will definitely need a car. The best apartments were Hillbrow and Berea but that's a no-go zone nowadays. The old Houghton area will have old style luxury apartments. If Houghton is good enough for Nelson Mandela, then it's good enough for you... 🤣

[@maddie9077]

pick 3rd apt.. the price is great.. you save $300 a month...But lets talk about how beautiful your skin looks.....

[@black40sunrise]

Definitely home #2✨ it might feel better once the ac is running, can’t believe they don’t have ceiling fans at least. The views were stunning🤩love the long videos too. Your hair is super cute too, keep that stylist😉💫

[@JulianAlbino]

ceiling fans would be so perfect lol. thank you :) i'm gonna keep this stylist around

[@keepupwithsandilek]

25:00 no please take this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥it is heaven omg

[@JulianAlbino]

It’s so gorgeous!! But it’s kinda far from everything 😪

[@Salad_Channel]

The 2nd one is so gorgeous but my love R25 000 is a lot of money my word! Keep looking. Also my advise, look for something cozy and beautiful, you live by yourself, I don’t think you need a big place like why? You can get a nice place for like R15 000 at least I’m sure if you keep looking. Love you so much ❤😊

[@emilysimelane6376]

Home 2 is beautiful, spacious and of course the lighting is good

[@thesuccesscarter]

I liked the 2nd one. It’s just giving me luxury and I see it for you for sure!!!

[@fortheloveofjan]

I like #3 for only $1,080. Plus, #2 give off that yellow light affect, even with the natural sunlight… Probably because the kitchen is a light brown and not gray.

[@brendav7]

I am a property manager. The penthouse for the win with that view. However you need to figure out the air conditioning situation. The glass will make it warm for sure and you know that heat rises. The 2br is not a bad option if you can’t find anything else. If it is not checking your the keep looking.

[@reesepatron2320]

Heyyy Julian, I had to resubscribe. YT and their shenanigans. SMDH Edit: Just discovered I missed 7 videos because no notifications from YT. WoW, see what I mean, its the shenanigans for me!

[@LeboSethole]

I love the 2nd penthouse in Bedfordview. The lighting, view and huge windows I liked, plus you kept saying it's warm so that's a big tick for me meaning the place will be warm in Winter. It's boring that there's no aircon considering the price it comes with

[@JulianAlbino]

I like it too, but in the winter time it will be quite cold with the big windows. No insulation to keep the heat in

[@LeboSethole]

Yes that's true, I didn't think of that. Keep searching, you'll find a lovely home and I trust the decor will be beautiful too ❤

[@pelomk9022]

its so beautiful! what do you think about bedfordview area tho?

​@@JulianAlbino Bedfordview is a nice are, it literally has all the amenities that u need. There is Eastgate Shopping center and Bedford center mall just 10 minutes walk apart.

[@leeposhm]

Hey Julian, contrary to popular belief Edenvale isn't that far. It's a great area with tons of shopping centres and amenities. It's literally 10 minutes away from Sandton. So you won't even spend a lot.

[@JulianAlbino]

Wow , now I’m convinced I should check it out this weekend

[@marthaditlopo229]

I love the 2 bedroom(last one)

[@JulianAlbino]

Me too, just wished it had more natural sunlight

[@angela1627]

The question is, do you want to see the sun rise, 2 bedroom or sun set 3 bedroom. And remember, heat rises, so if you are all the way at the top, your electric may cost more to keep it cool. Good luck ❤

[@JulianAlbino]

That’s a good question and good point. That electric bill would be high with so much direct sunlight

Linksfield is a great area. I grew up in Lombardy(near Linkfield) & I love it

Generally South African rentals do not offer appliances. It also has to do with hygiene. You don't know what the previous people did and some people even warm their shoes and underwear in an oven and not much can be done to get rid of the stove.

The first one is everything, lol but I would have to invest in a moped or something because that was way too nice, the weather is probably better because of elevation and never no traffic and the no shedding part... Def sleep on that!
