Edenvale is a middle-class commuter town straddling the line between Johannesburg and the O.R. Tambo International Airport, 12 km from the glitz of Sandton. The city's rapid growth over the past decade has brought an influx of shopping malls and high-end housing, but also bankrupted many longtime businesses along its main street. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with Edenvale having been shuffled between various metro councils in the post-apartheid restructuring. Still, the city offers a convenient suburban lifestyle for those willing to navigate its administrative challenges.
