Menlo Park Reviews
More info about Menlo Park
The Pretoria suburb of Menlo Park is an expensive area with a blend of old money and luxury developments offering a secure outdoor lifestyle. These gated communities are favoured by educated millennials and young families wanting accessible amenities and lock up & go facilities, no Sunday afternoon lawn mowing here!
At the suburb’s core is a lively restaurant scene set in parklike surroundings and within walking distance of all Menlo Park properties. A large shopping centre is located in an adjoining suburb and Menlyn Maine – a city within a city and new green urban living concept – is nearby.
It’s likely that Menlo Park was named after the Silicon Valley city of the same name in California and where the new Facebook headquarters are located.
Menlo Park is home to a few foreign embassies and the Law Society. The national north-south highway runs to the east of the suburb.
