Roodepoort Property | Johannesburg

Roodepoort means ‘red valley’ in Afrikaans and this suburb of Johannesburg is part of the Gauteng region in South Africa.  The area is known for its rich red soil and for the discovery of gold at the Confidence Reef in 1884.  This reef forms a large rocky outcrop in the centre of town and the area remains an important centre for the gold mining industry today.

Roodepoort encompasses three main parts, with agricultural land in the north, a section of mining belt in the south and various residential areas.  It is without a doubt one of the most charming residential locations that Johannesburg has to offer and thus the property is highly sought-after.  Who wouldn’t enjoy the superb views of the city in the east and the Magaliesberg mountain range in the west?

The infrastructure in Roodepoort, like most areas in the Gauteng province, is known to be excellent, with a number of major transport routes and access to all the necessary amenities and facilities.  It is also home to a variety of national monuments and early historic buildings that give the area an air of cultural significance.  Those of you interested in historical charm would do well to consider investing in property in Roodepoort.
