Area Info

North Riding is a suburb of Randburg in Region C of Johannesburg, South Africa, bordering areas like Fourways and Northgate. Named after a historic division of Yorkshire, it lies north of the city’s CBD and was once part of the Randburg Town Council before being incorporated into the City of Johannesburg.

Originally located on the old Olievenhout farm, North Riding was known for its rural character and horse-riding culture, with many stables and riding paths. This heritage is still reflected in its road names. Though still sometimes referred to as North Riding Agricultural Holdings (A.H.), the area has seen significant development since 1996, evolving into a thriving residential and commercial suburb.

The suburb fully encloses Bellair Park and is surrounded by neighbourhoods like Olivedale, Northworld, Northgate, and Johannesburg North. Major roads include Blandford, Bellair, and Malibongwe Drive, with historic entry points like Ascot, Windsor, and Hyperion. Today, North Riding features shopping centres, bed and breakfast accommodations, and natural streams such as the Olievenhoutspoort that flows through the area.
