Area Profiles

Designed to embrace its natural surrounds, the greater, undulating, landscape of Mooikloof consists of various estates and developments where lifestyle, architectural flair and security are the attractions that set this form of suburbia living apart from any other.  Not only does this area come with the most sought-after location on the Tshwane map, but it's remote, country-styled atmosphere, coupled with quick and easy access to the best which the greater Pretoria East area has to offer makes it the perfect home-base for a wide blend of resident types.  Mooikloof consists of a series of estates which, collectively, offer a truly large and impressive selection of...

Moregloed lies in the valley between Pretoria's city centre and the southern slope of the Magaliesberg Mountain range and forms part of the greater Moot area.  Across the mountain on the northern side lies the well-established suburbs of Pretoria North. Typical in this suburb is the selection of larger stands, a trend in the older suburbs, so the perfect solution for larger families together with the fact that it is closely located to most sought-after amenities.  In addition, these larger stands also allow for sub-divisions so an effective way to make use of space and therefor also creating a great mix of property type and a subsequent blend of resident types. ...

Moreleta Park is one of the larger suburbs located on the eastern side of Pretoria and in addition to its prime location also offers a host of attractions to match.  Like many of Pretoria's suburbs, Moreleta Park is set amongst much greenery with tree-lined streets and homes with lovely, lush gardens while the landscape varies between undulating and flat.  Originally part of the greater farmland of Garsfontein, a dairy farm was established on the area which is now known as Moreleta Kloof.  Over time a number of structures were erected, which today have taken on a new purpose.  For example, one of the first farmhouses built in the late 1800s now serves as a chapel...

Ask most old-time Pretoria residents about Mountain View and everyone should reply with "oh, yes, that age-old suburb perched on the side of the mountain!".  It is probably the most uniquely located suburb of Pretoria where the houses open their back doors onto the southern ridge of the Magaliesberg Mountain.  Even more special is when it is covered in a purple blanket of Jakaranda flowers during the month of October.  A truly iconic Pretoria site! Even within this seemingly perfect location, there is still the need for the "perfect location" to look out for.  Houses on Daphne Street, for example, enjoy a prime spot, where the small greenbelt in front of them...

Olympus is one of the most recently developed modern-day suburbs within Pretoria East.  What, until recently, used to be smallholdings and plots surrounded by suburban developments such as Faerie Glen, Mooikloof and Wapadrand has fast become a hub of townhouse and estate developments added to the more established houses that were the start of Olympus. Olympus lies against the southern foothill of the Bronberg Mountain, with a selection of larger and rather impressive looking homes located against the higher part of the slope. Descending downward into the suburb is a wide selection of middle to upper class styled houses while the newer extension, stretching all the...

Fondly referred to as the greater Pretoria North for suburbs lying on that side of the Magaliesberg mountain range, Pretoria North actually exists as a suburb in its own right! It lies at the northern foothills of the mountain, which also marks the border between the city of Pretoria and the sub-tropically beautiful suburbs of the greater northern area. Pretoria North serves both as a suburb for residents as well as an industrial hub and especially hosts a number of motor industry operations, panel beaters, car parts sales, mechanics as well as glass fitment centres.  These are located along main access roads such as Gerrit Maritz, Rachel de Beer and Voortrekker...

Queenswood is undoubtedly one of Pretoria's most favourite, all-time suburbs and brilliantly located to all that Pretoria is known for. It is also one of the suburbs that fall within the greater Moot area, with the iconic Magaliesberg Mountain ridge flanking its northern border, the Rietondale Farm to the west, the N1 Highway and Pretoria National Botanical Gardens to the east, the Colbyn Valley Nature Area and the best of Pretoria heading south. Queenswood property options come with unlimited choice. Houses - typical of the Moot area - are often older in style, but large, with 4, 5, 6 even 7 rooms, on equally large stands. These homes are mostly well maintained,...

Rietfontein, located in the centre of The Moot area, appears to be a choice location amongst families with school-going children. Its proximity to a wide variety of educational facilities including nursery, primary and high schools, the Tshwane University of Technology and the University of Pretoria as well as easy access to amenities that accommodate day-to-day living seems to be the driving force behind this trend. A well-established, middle-class and older-styled suburb, Rietfontein lies on the southern side of the Magaliesberg Mountain range, comfortably out of the city centre of Pretoria but with a scenically beautiful belt of greenery from the mountain ridge...

Rietondale, located in the greater Moot area comes with much history and sentiment.  Not only was it a large farmland (which was bought by the government and established as a suburb in 1924) but it also once hosted a vlei, towards its western boundary, with a beautiful stream and white sands along its banks.  From this developed the neighbouring suburb to the west known as Riviera (named after the French Riviera by the original owner of Rietondale, whose family until recently resided in the area and lived in the original stone house 'Kia Ora' on 186 Van Der Merwe Street).  This trend of long term or old-time residents remaining appears to carry much momentum and...

Rose Acres Estate is one of a few highly sought-after, higher-end security estates located within the Montana Tuine area.  It is a newly developed security estate with a selection of modern styled houses.  Properties are new, still well maintained with beautifully manicured gardens, while the greater surrounding environment offers a tranquil, almost lowveld setting.  The benefits that come with the security estate concept contribute greatly to a comfortable and safer lifestyle, an especially enticing homing option for young families and retirees alike with the added benefit of its convenient location to schools, medical facilities, day-to-day amenities as well as the...
