Housing
Whilst the houses in Bryanston were once, on average, fairly large with gardens that contained many trees, over the past decades the larger properties are being converted into multi-dwelling complexes, with more houses and smaller gardens. This shift is likely caused by a combination of security reasons, an ever-increasing lack of residential space (since many people want to live in the suburb) and the high cost of city property rates and taxes in the area.
Bryanston is likely named after a village in the UK.,[2] or after Bryanston Square, also in the UK.[2]
