Linden in the Johannesburg Region of Gauteng, South Africa
Linden is situated in the Johannesburg region of the Gauteng province in South Africa. Linden was designed so that most of the streets and avenues form similar sized "blocks" of housing areas. Third Avenue passes through the middle of Linden, along which a number of shops, churches and schools can be found.

Linden is one of the oldest suburbs of Johannesburg, lying to the north west of the city centre between Emmarentia and Darrenwood. The leafy suburb lies predominantly on a slope, its pretty houses, many of which have been recently restored, positioned on a grid of numbered avenues and streets.

Linden is named after the Linden farm, which stood in this part of Johannesburg over a hundred years ago. The closeby Emmarentia dam and Botanical gardens are well worth a visit, offering an escape from city pressures. Trendy Greenside is just around the corner from Linden, and Greenway and Gleneagles Road, the hip suburb’s high streets, are lined with restaurants, antique and art décor shops.
