A refined walkthrough of Pretoria's most prestigious offerings

Located within the violet-laden Jacaranda streets of Pretoria is perhaps one of South Africa's best-kept secrets. As South Africa's legislative capital, Pretoria is seldom touted for its affluent suburbs, a fact that many homeowners enjoy, as the privacy and luxury nestled within remains veiled and shrouded in mystery. 

A combination of areas, including Cornwall Hill Country Estate, Silver Lakes Golf Estate, Equestria, Waterkloof, and Garsfontein, contain some of South Africa's most prestigious properties. It offers a diverse selection:, from sectional titles to freestanding homes, many cloistered within world-class lifestyle estates. 

In recent years, Brooklyn and Faerie Glen are amongst Pretoria's most prestigious suburbs for various reasons. They are in close proximity to the most desirable activities and amenities the City has to offer and the demand for property in these areas has grown consistently in recent years. 

Brooklyn's appeal lies in the renowned schools and the University of Pretoria which makes it a sought-after address where families and students choose to reside. Pretoria has seen tremendous growth, aligning with a high-end status thanks to monumental embassy buildings, Jacaranda-lined streets, sophisticated hotels, and great ( 5-star) guesthouses.

The well-maintained suburbs of Waterkloof and Waterkloof Ridge are home to some of the city's most expensive real estate and are highly sought-after areas with several ambassadorial residences.
