The quiet city of Springs lies approximately 50km from Johannesburg. The name of this area (proclaimed a town in 1904) stems from the large number of natural underground springs. Gauteng’s property market has steadily moved to the East showing outstanding growth in this area particularly. One of the reasons that houses for sale in Springs are popular is the fact that they offer great value for money. Here you’ll be able to find a selection of houses and flats for sale that are ideal for families as well as first-time home owners.

These larger homes with spacious gardens offer the area of a property that would cost millions in Sandton. Flats to rent in Springs on the other hand are a convenient option for working professionals who commute into Johannesburg. 

Springs' allure lies mainly in its history, industrial industries, richness in gold and the fact that numerous famous South Africans like Koos du Plessis, Nadine Gordimer and Penny Heyns, were either born or raised in the city.
