Bendor Park is the upper, leafier part of the Bendor area on Polokwane's eastern side, a middle- to upper-income residential suburb that has grown steadily since the 1970s.
It is anchored by the Cycad Shopping Centre on General Maritz Street and the adjoining Cycad Estate, a walled security estate established in 2003, with Mall of the North and Thornhill Shopping Centre both a short drive away.
Streets are quiet and well-treed, and the mix of freestanding homes, townhouse complexes and gated estates suits families, professionals and retirees who want space without leaving the city.
The Polokwane CBD, Peter Mokaba Stadium and Polokwane Game Reserve are all within about ten minutes by car.
