The suburb of the Village is characterized by large, mature, and leafy plots. Several of these plots have been redeveloped to now feature multi-residential housing and large family homes. However, many of the original properties are still found, and highly sought after. Due to the size of plots and the fantastic location, the value of land in the Village is generally higher than most areas in the City.

The area also boasts lovely multi-residential housing and apartments, all offering the perfect lifestyle for young families or first-time home buyers. These apartments are also very popular with people working in Botswana on short-term contracts.

The Village neighbours the suburb of Tlokweng where more industrial and larger commercial businesses are found, again with direct access to the Tlokweng border post.
