Montana Tuine Area Profile

Montana Tuine at a glance

Montana Tuine is a predominantly lifestyle-filled, estate-developed area located within Pretoria North. The security and privacy features offered by such developments are becoming widely sought-after and cater to a wide blend of home-owners. Within Montana Tuine, the choices are wide and inviting, including exclusive estates aimed at high-income earners such as Zambezi Country Estate, middle income-friendly developments such as the Bougainvilla Estate and entry-level security complexes and townhouses suited to the younger resident such as Green Acres Estate and Rose Acres Estate.

Another resident type that Montana Tuine is especially well suited to is the older person who is considering retirement. This neighbourhood includes estates which suitably cater to the needs of the elderly including Bougainvillea Retirement Village, Montana Retirement Village and Twee Riviere Retirement Village. So, with the older person in mind - and any other resident for that matter.

Montana Tuine enjoys the temperate sub-tropical climate which is quite typical throughout the greater Pretoria North area. In addition, it offers a unique lowveld-type natural environment which is not surprising considering that this area lies at the foothold of the bushveld as it transcend from here further north into the Limpopo and beyond. Montana Tuine also offers the comfort of a close-knit community, it is tranquil, secure and has a low crime rate together with an abundance of essential amenities such as shopping malls, medical facilities, schools and entertainment facilities.

The estates typically include free-standing houses with a couple of townhouses and sectional apartment buildings with rental options in between.

CLIMATE:

With the Magaliesberg Mountain range on its doorstep, Montana Tuine enjoys a certain amount of protection as well as some of the warmer temperatures found within the greater Pretoria North. It also has the advantage of a sub-tropical climate which allows for almost year-round natural growth including mostly lowveld grasses and trees such as the beautiful Acacia. In addition, gardens are so much easier to cultivate and keep going with such a temperate climate.

Summer days can be particularly hot but afternoon showers are the norm bringing evening temperatures down a little. Summer rainfall usually takes place between October and February while the winter months of, especially, July and August can be quite a bit drier. Winter mornings can be cold bringing with it the possibility of frost on the odd occasion, but as is typical in Tshwane, winter days become warmer toward the late morning and afternoons. This subtropical vegetation eases into lowveld even bushveld vegetation, and eventually leads to the Limpopo Province.
