Pretoria Property - Gauteng
Pretoria is South Africa's administrative capital and offers property
and real estate investors a superb selection of properties to choose
from. These properties range from magnificent ambassadorial residences
and spacious homes to small apartments and starter homes in security
villages.
Pretoria lies in the pleasant Apies River valley. Its central area
is overlooked by the heights of Meintjes Kop and the elegant, crescent-shaped
Union Buildings.
It's a neat, handsome city of tall buildings and broad thoroughfares.
The city's hub is Church Square, around which it originally developed.
Pretoria is famed for its parks and gardens, for its roses, and
for the jacaranda trees that come into glorious lilac-coloured bloom
in springtime.
Pretoria is largely an administrative centre, but it is also the
hub of an important rail network, and its advanced industrial complex,
originally based on steel-making, includes engineering, food processing
and diamond mining.
Pretoria's climate is similar to that of Johannesburg, but it lies
at a somewhat lower altitude than its neighbour and its air temperatures
are, on average, about two degrees higher. This is a summer-rainfall
region. Between November and February summer thunderstorms produce
violent flashes of lightning and brief but torrential afternoon
downpours. Summer days are hot, though rarely to the point of discomfort.
Pretoria is served by Johannesburg International Airport, some
45 kilometres to the south-east.
National highways connect Pretoria with Johannesburg, 60 kilometres
to the south, and all other major Southern African destinations.
Bus and train services link the city with Johannesburg, Durban and
other major regional centres.
Outdoor enthusiasts are attracted to the delightful Magaliesberg
range of hills to the west, a prime scenic and recreational area
that embraces the Hartbeespoort Dam.
The State Theatre complex on Strijom Square is billed as 'the biggest
cultural centre in South Africa'.
Sports lovers are drawn to watching top-quality rugby in the 85,000-seat
Loftus Versfeld stadium, cricket at Berea Park and, more notably,
at the excellent Centurian Park ground in Centurian, south-east
of Pretoria. There are excellent facilities for golf and bowls,
tennis, squash, watersports, walks and hikes, indeed for all the
sporting disciplines and leisure activities.
Pretoria, like any modern city, offers the full range of general
and speciality shopping outlets. Among the bigger and busier central
malls is Sanlam Centre, at the junction of Vermeulen and Andries
streets, and the Standard Bank Centre. Major suburban malls include
the Arcadia Centre, Jacaranda Centre, Sunny Park and Menlyn Park.
Some of South Africa's finest schools are situated in Pretoria
and the city also has first class medical services. Seeff Pretoria
East/Menlyn Park can assist you with a wide selection of residential
property including houses, apartments, cluster developments, security
villages, land and guesthouses both for sale and rental.
