Maboneng has been turned from an industrial and factory zone to a lively lifestyle playground, making it a golden child among Joburg's regeneration stories.
The Maboneng Precinct was first developed in 2009, and after more than a decade, this vibrant, youthful neighborhood has established itself as a popular Joburg visitor attraction in its own right.
Fox Street, Maboneng's main thoroughfare, is home to the pioneer development Arts on Main as well as a diverse assortment of dozens of pubs, cafes, and restaurants.
Jewel City, a neighboring precinct connected to Maboneng via a pedestrianized length of Fox Street, opened in 2020.
While the neighborhood's early concentration was largely on the arts, Maboneng has since evolved into a major nightlife attraction, with the streets especially thronged with a youthful party population on Saturdays.
