The affluent suburb of Brooklyn is one of Pretoria’s finest enclaves. With jacarandas lining the streets and large, palatial homes with immaculate gardens dotting this fertile landscape, it is not hard to understand why Brooklyn is a sought after location. It is conveniently placed east of the Pretoria CBD and gives its residents close and easy access to a number of top attractions including the Union Buildings, the University of Pretoria, and the well-known prestigious Pretoria Boys High School.
Like its sophisticated neighbouring suburbs of Hatfield, Waterkloof, and Lynwood Brooklyn is a hive of chic restaurants and bistros as well as a terrific assortment of shops and boutiques. The streets here are lined with world-class restaurants that serve up a delicious and gourmet selection of sumptuous cuisine sure to satisfy any palate. For the avid shopper in you, the Brooklyn Mall is definitely one of the best in the city. With a wide range of diverse stores, the Brooklyn Mall is well frequented and caters for every taste and preference. Because Brooklyn is close to the university, the town is always buzzing and lively. There is a laidback, but electric atmosphere as the students bring their own flair with them and really accentuate this already unique ambience.
For the art lover in you, Brooklyn is home to the magnificent Art House of Brooklyn. The Art House is exclusive and luxurious showcasing works done by the very best of South Africa’s artists. The Art House has an impressive array of sculptures made from ceramics and iron, contemporary art, fine arts paintings, wood works and a Far East stall; with this and much more to see, the Art House of Brooklyn is well worth a visit.
