Accommodation in city centre is cheap in comparison to other areas like Hatfield, Menlyn, Brooklyn etc. which is less than 5km away from the city centre. However when you get further to the outskirts such as Silverlakes it is 4 times as much, but in Mamelodi (same distance form city centre as Silverlakes) it is about a third of the price in city centre.
The cost of an apartment in Pretoria also varies dramatically depending on location.
From R800 a month to R10000 for a 1 bedroom apartment.
