Block 10, Gaborone

Block 10 & Setlhoa, Gaborone

Situated in the northern area of Gaborone, Block 10 and the burgeoning Setlhoa Village enclave represent one of the city’s most dynamic real estate hubs. This area has transformed from a quiet suburb into a premier "live-work-play" destination, conveniently located between the Central Business District and Phakalane.

Key Features & Landmarks

The area’s primary appeal lies in its connectivity. It is positioned on the gateway to the North via the A1 Highway and provides easy access to Sir Seretse Khama International Airport. Notable landmarks include the modern Setlhoa Business Hub, Retail Park and Airport Junction Shopping Mall. More recently, Gemstone Lifestyle (a popular modern residential development) has increased the residential popularity of this area.
