Villeria, a northern suburb of Pretoria, is bordered by Rietfontein, Rietondale, Moregloed, and Waverley, and is located just northeast of the city centre, nestled on this side of the Magaliesberg mountain range. It is an established area, known for its spacious properties and beautiful gardens, but lacks the modern double-story homes commonly seen in Pretoria's more eastern suburbs.
What makes Villeria particularly appealing is its central location. The city centre, with its numerous museums and the State Theatre, is only five kilometres away, as are the Union Buildings and Loftus Versfeld rugby stadium. Additionally, three popular shopping centres – Jacaranda, Waverley Plaza, and Gezina City – are all easily accessible. Many visitors are drawn to Villeria due to its proximity to key medical facilities, including the Pretoria Academic Hospital, Eugene Marais Hospital, and Moot General Hospital.
Just across the N1 from Villeria lies the National Botanical Gardens, a favourite spot for those seeking green spaces in Pretoria. It's more than just a park, offering shaded picnic spots as well as an impressive collection of indigenous and exotic plants, including a unique succulent collection from Madagascar.
