Pretoria: The Prime Place for Property Purchase
Category Just Imagine Properties Team
Pretoria is a city where history meets the ultra-modern and the convergence of an eclectic mix of historical eras, styles, cultures and influences makes for a diverse environment ideal for every sort of property-seeker.
As one of the nation's three capitals, Pretoria is home to a number of government buildings - including the Union Buildings, the seat of the South African government, which also houses the offices of the president - and boasts some of the most beautiful parks and gardens in the country, as well as the famously gorgeous Pretoria National Botanical Gardens. The lushness and tree-lined avenues of Pretoria's many suburbs have made it a city that an increasing number of buyers are choosing to call home.
Pretoria's eastern suburbs, with its natural beauty punctuated by many townhouses, simplexes and housing estates, have become highly sought-after, especially by the new generation of millennials looking to buy their first home. You can have your own slice of sophistication and idyllic living, combined with the beauty and historical charm of our resplendent capital, right here in Pretoria with suburbs such as Equestria and Garsfontein blossoming in popularity in recent years thanks to their highly favourable location and close proximity to amenities such as shopping centres and gyms as well as main highways.
Another suburb on eastern reaches of the city that is fast becoming a favourite for homebuyers and investors is Faerie Glen, evoking feelings of magic, wonder and tranquillity; an alluringly special place steeped in rich romanticism and enveloped in compelling lore. With a history dating back to the 1970s, this bucolic suburb has seen significant expansion and development in recent years, making it the perfect place to settle and call home.
Going north, the cluster of suburbs collectively known as the Moot - where the Union Buildings are located and the site where Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as president - offers a wide selection of properties for sale with price ranges suitable for most buyers. The abundance of schools is also constantly driving demand in this area of Pretoria.
To the north-east lies what is commonly known as the "zone of choice" for its pleasant subtropical climate, many good schools and new restaurants and developments that have positioned this flourishing area as one of the capital's prime spots for those looking to purchase property in one of the best locations in Pretoria that is set to only grow in popularity as it continues on its path to becoming the epicentre of idyllic suburban living.
With Pretoria's property prices being lower than those of economic hub Johannesburg, it is an attractive option for first-time buyers, who will also enjoy easy connectivity between the two major cities thanks to the main highways as well as the Gautrain. Add to that the recent interest rate cuts and the fact that it is currently a buyer's market, and there has never been a better time to invest in property in this remarkable city with its many beautiful qualities.
