Menlo Park Area Profile

Menlo Park

Menlo Park is an upmarket suburb in the Old East of Pretoria,

South Africa. This suburb borders other upmarket areas such as

Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Lynnwood. Menlo Park was first established

between the 1950s and 1960s, these suburbs can boast about having

some of the city's most high-end residential properties. Menlo Park is

ideally situated in a central position near the N1 highway, within easy

reach of the central business district as well as the Gautrain station

and only minutes away from upmarket and large entertainment facilities

and shopping malls such as Menlyn & Brooklyn Mall to name a few.

Menlo Park is also close to several excellent educational institutions,

including Menlo Park Primary School, Menlo Park High school and the

University of Pretoria. A broad range of activities can be enjoyed. The

nightlife lovers can enjoy numerous 'hotspots' including the strip located

on Lynnwood. The area features the Greenlyn Village lifestyle centre

which has the following amenities: a theatre (AfriForum theatre),

fantastic variety of coffee bars, several specialized cuisine restaurants

(Captital Craft, Buffelsfontein and As Greek As It Gets),

and Martin Gibbs Photography.

Menlo Park properties differ between old residential houses with

tranquil gardens, whose residents have been living there for years to

modern new developments for the upcoming generations - mostly

millennials who prefer a 'lock-up-and-go' lifestyle. The demographics in

Menlo Park varies between old and young and that is the reason why

Menlo Park is such a popular area. Menlo Park is currently being

revamped with a lot of larger stands being subdivided into apartments,

townhouses and full title homes. A small section of Menlo Park is in the

process of becoming a boomed off area - Menlo Close.
