OBSERVATORY

The views, which span the eastern edge of the city and the Bez Valley, and the sense of seclusion from the bustle of city life are undoubtedly among the best reasons to reside in the green neighbourhood of Observatory. In spite of being close to Yeoville, a bit further south of Observatory, Johannesburg''s melting pot, lovely and spacious homes sit on wide streets in a neighbourhood that has managed to maintain a surprisingly calm and tranquil atmosphere.

The observatory site, which occupies a 35-hectare plot in the lovely neighbourhood of Observatory and is positioned on a hill for obvious reasons, was designated the city''s first meteorological observatory site in 1903.
