Ivy Park is a quiet, settled suburb only a few minutes from the Polokwane CBD — about 3 km, or a six-minute drive, along Marshall Street.
The Ivy Park Centre on the corner of Nelson Mandela Drive and Marshall Street covers day-to-day shopping, with Mall of the North about 4 km away and Polokwane International Airport around 10 km out.
It is a largely residential area of freestanding homes and complexes, valued for being central without the traffic of the busier suburbs.
Schools, clinics and the city's main hospitals are all a short drive away.
