Accommodation in Pretoria for all income groups

Clean, safe and affordable rental accommodation is par for the course if you deal through Jika Properties, and certainly it describes one of the buildings in their portfolio that’s worth taking a look at if you are searching for good value-for-money accommodation in Pretoria. Annlin and Sinoville are neighbouring suburbs in Pretoria north, and it’s here in the double-storey Annlin Lifestyle Place that there are currently three flats to let for a very reasonable monthly rental.

Ideal for singles or couples, units 18, 44 and 46 in Annlin Lifestyle Place at 246 Matlabas Street in Annlin Ext 59, Sinoville, Pretoria, each include one bedroom and one bathroom. There are upstairs and ground-floor units, with the buildings separated from one another by a carpet of lush green lawn. The rental is set at R3 150 per month, with a deposit of R3 150 payable up front to secure the keys to the front door.

Annlin and Sinoville are well established residential areas – large, mature trees are among the characteristics of these suburbs just a 10-minute drive from the city centre. Over the years, farms and smallholdings have made way for a growing number of small housing developments and the gated community lifestyle has increased in popularity among working-class families as well as professionals.

There is easy access to freeways including the N1 from Durban and Johannesburg in the south to Polokwane in the north, and easy-to-reach shopping complexes include the Menlyn Park, Brooklyn and Kolonade malls. The schools in the area are good and the Tshwane University of Technology as well as the University of Pretoria are within a short driving distance.

Also close by is the Wonderboom Nature Reserve and the Wonderboom Airport that serves mostly light aircraft. And once on the freeway it’s a short journey to Magaliesburg attractions such as the Hartebeespoort Dam and Elephant Sanctuary, hiking trails, hot-air ballooning and a whole lot more.
