Area Profiles

Located near Pretoria North, Ninapark itself is a fairly exclusive suburb as it is small and relatively new.  Opportunities to purchase do not come in abundance, but if you do find something then it is sure to be a lovely life-style option going forward.  One may also consider extending this area preference to the surrounding suburbs of Theresapark, Florauna and Amandasig, all of which are in close location to Ninapark. A common feature of the properties in Ninapark is that stand sizes are fairly large and houses, complexes and town-houses allow for good room space, so ideal for families with children.  But, of course, there is no reason for it not to attract a...

This older well-established suburb is bounded by Wierda Road (M10) to the North, the Old Johannesburg Road (R101) to the East, Wierda Park to the West and Hendrik Verwoerd Drive (M25) to the South. Eldoraigne also lies close to major highways - such as the N14 to Krugersdorp and the Ben Schoeman Highway. As a result, it is within easy reach of Gauteng's attractions and amenities, and provides easy access to commuters travelling to either Pretoria or Johannesburg, via the Ben Schoeman Highway (N1) or the Old Johannesburg Road (R101), whilst Krugersdorp is also easily accessible via the N14. Therefore, its residents are within reach of Gauteng's major attractions and...

Another of the leafy green suburbs of Pretoria North, Annlin, a middle-class residential area lies right on the northern slope of the Magaliesberg with the city centre of Pretoria literally on the other side of the mountain.  With a steady development of townhouse developments, complexes and free-standing homes, there still remains a number of small holdings used mainly for agricultural farming purposes which allows for a lovely country-living atmosphere around the outskirts of this suburb.  To the east of Annlin are the well-established suburbs of the beautiful and very tropical Sinoville and more modern Montana.  Heading south and over the mountain pass is...

Bougainvillea Estate, located in Montana Tuine, is considered the perfect residential environment attracting a varied blend of homeowners.  As is typical with the more modern estate developments, the benefits of this lifestyle choice are endless - most notably the fact that they are mostly designed to offer greater privacy, a natural setting with surrounding tranquillity, less traffic and restricted public access, ultimately ensuring greater security.  This makes it the perfect choice for both older, retired persons as well as the younger lock-up-and-go resident or families with children looking for a safe and secure environment to move around in.  Bougainvilla...

One of the iconic ridges of Pretoria East and a continuation of the Magaliesberg mountain range, the Bronberg ridge snakes its way through the suburban area of Faerie Glen and all the way through to Zwavelpoort. Further on it blends into the beautiful and fairly undeveloped landscapes of the extended east with numerous new developments that have taken place in, and around, what used to be predominantly small-holdings and natural areas.  These include suburbs such as Equestria and Silverlakes along its northern slope and Olympus, many developments in Zwavelpoort and, in between, the most recent smaller Bronberg development along its southern foot hills. Perfectly...

Classic, contemporary, vibrant almost swanky - just a few ways to describe timelessly elegant Brooklyn, located in Pretoria's "Old East" area. High-end in many ways, Brooklyn's quiet residential streets still ooze the original old-world flair, with an array of both original and more modern architecture depicted in its homes, grand embassies, chic boutique-styled hotels and guesthouses, malls, squares and open-air entertainment areas.   Residential options include up-market and comfortable apartments and townhouses, charming, large, old family homes and stately residences.  The atmosphere is peaceful, gardens are mostly designed to integrate the lusciously natural...

Die Wilgers is one of the best known, most homely suburbs of Pretoria East.  Bordering onto Lynnwood, Die Wilgers has had many years to develop into an almost self-sufficient suburb, with little reason for some people to have to venture beyond its borders.  Predominantly a residential area, it has become fairly blended with a number of office parks, shopping centres, medical facilities, schools, retirement facilities and an exciting selection of entertainment including restaurants, pubs, cafes, tea-gardens and a few artistic and gardening outlets.  A beautiful, slightly more up-market suburb, Die Wilgers is fairly in demand by residents across the board, especially due...

Doornpoort, located north-east of Pretoria, is one of its older residential areas bringing with it a classicly laid-back country-styled atmosphere. This is most likely due to its earlier years as a farming community, more so than urban, as well as the fact that it lies at the start of bushveld terrain, heading into the Lowveld. A special feature of Doornpoort is that it is tucked away behind the Magaliesberg Mountain range so it makes for a tranquil and serene environment and it is located amongst the well-established areas of Wonderboom, Montana and Sinoville. Over recent times Doornpoort has become a sought-after suburb due to its friendly mix of secure and...

Equestria, a recent development in Pretoria East, has become a showcase for a fairly sought-after modern day lifestyle. Cradled by the Lynnwood ridge to the south and an extension of the Magaliesberg mountain range further out to the north, what used to be plots of land and an equestrian haven now offers an array of beautifully styled townhouses, simplexes and complexes with the odd established plot still nestled in between. Residents are spoilt for choice with amenities that cater to any need, easy to access main routes and highways - and most special - the subtle integration of its natural environment. It is this gentle thread of nature's presence that allows for...

Faerie Glen, the flagship suburb of Pretoria East, was established in the early 1970s and although it may now classify as an older suburb it has been beautifully maintained throughout. It is few and far between that one will find an unkempt property or open piece of land. Rather streets are lined with manicured sidewalks, much greenery and mature trees, with a special display of Jacarandas when in bloom. Faerie Glen's most prominent landmark is surely the Bronberg Mountain, a conservation area, with her southern slope in full view as she rises in the background and it is this mountain slope that also contributes to Faerie Glen's natural side. As a suburb, Faerie Glen...
