Dunkeld Area Information

The Dunkeld area, one of Johannesburg's oldest suburbs, borders Hyde Park, Illovo, Melrose, and Rosebank. It is a mixture of residential and commercial properties, with the latter not detracting from the tranquillity of the neighbourhood. Commercial Properties are mostly situated along Oxford Rd, Jan Smuts Ave, and Bompas Rd.

Dunkeld is an elite suburb characterised by its large properties with high walls & wide tree-lined streets.  Dunkeld lies between Oxford Rd to the East & Jan Smuts Ave to the West. Most of the streets have been boomed off to eliminate " rat running" through the suburb, with traffic being confined to Bompas Rd & Jellicoe Ave. This ensures the residential area is secure & peaceful.

Oxford Rd and Jan Smuts Ave are both main transport routes from Johannesburg CBD and Sandton. This ensures an easy commute to the main business Hubs of Parktown, Rosebank, Illovo, and Sandton. The Gautrain Bus Route with Rosebank Gautrain Station is close to Dunkeld.
