Roodepoort area information

The Roodepoort region is an extremely attractive residential area in Johannesburg. It has lovely views of the city to the east and the Magaliesburg to the west. There are golf courses and entertainment areas, as well as what many consider the city's finest park, the Witwatersrand Botanical Gardens. Roodepoort has a busy business centre, with a large variety of shops, shopping centres and shopping malls. Roodepoort is the region most conveniently situated for access to Gauteng attractions such as the Cradle of Humankind, Magaliesburg and Pilanesburg. The area offers a wide range of services including a museum, major private hospitals, shopping centres, schools, country lodges, trails, restaurants, golf courses and country clubs. Roodepoort is actually a city of its own, although it has now merged with the suburbs of Johannesburg to such a degree, there is barely a discernable line over which you cross, other than a sign on the side of the road indicating that you have now entered the valley.  Roodepoort is a mix of residential suburbs, agricultural holdings, and mining in the south of Roodepoort and some commercial activity in the form of Westgate, Constantia, Laser Park and Clear Water Mall.  Roodepoort is probably best known by Jo'burgers as home to the Walter Sisulu Gardens, formerly the Wits Botanical Gardens and the city's most famous botanical garden. It's a hive of activity over weekends, and a beautiful way in which to get close to nature in the city.
