Menlo Park

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

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

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

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

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.
