🏘️ Montana (Montana Tuine) — Profiel
Beskrywing & Karakter
Montana is ’n woonbuurt noord van Pretoria, naby die voetheuwels van die Magaliesberge.
Dit sluit verskeie residensiële dele in: Montana self, Montana Tuine, Montana Park, Magalieskruin, Annlin en omliggende gebiede.
Dit het in sekere dele ’n semi-landelike gevoel, met groen ruimtes, heuwel-uitkyke, volwasse bome, oop ruimtes in die ouer dele, en toenemende ontwikkeling van meenthuise/komplekse.
Ligging & Toegang (“Hoe om daar te kom”)
Die area lê noord van Sentraal-Pretoria, sowat 10–14 km van die stadskern af, afhangend van watter deel van Montana.
Belangrike roetes sluit in die R513 / Zambesiweg / Sefako Makgatho-rylaan, wat goeie padtoegang bied.
Maklik bereikbaar per motor, Uber / ritdienste, en minibus-taxi’s.
Openbare vervoer-opsies bestaan, maar kan oordragte vereis; die nabyheid aan hoofweë help baie.
Veiligheid
Inwoners beskryf Montana oor die algemeen as relatief veilig in vergelyking met baie ander dele van Pretoria. Misdaad kom wel voor (soos in enige stedelike area), maar die teenwoordigheid van landgoedere, sekuriteitskomplekse, en aktiewe gemeenskapspolisering dra by tot veiligheid.
Ouer woonbuurte en gevestigde komplekse het dikwels beter sekuriteit. Nuwe komplekse sluit ook dikwels sekuriteitsfunksies in.
