Brackenhurst Area Profile

Brackenhurst at a glance

Brackenhurst is a large and trendy southern suburb of Alberton, situated South-East of Johannesburg and part of the Ekurhuleni Metro- / Aerotropolis. The streets in this beautiful upmarket suburb are lined with trees and the residential gardens boast an abundance of trees and shrubbery creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity.

Brackenhurst is predominantly a residential area, consisting of large freestanding homes on considerable sized stands with well-kept gardens. The excess space on offer allows these properties to come in at the higher end of the price range. These properties are mostly suitable for families, permitting entertainment and activity, and properties without swimming pools are hard to find.  The suburb offers its fair share of secure townhouse and cluster complexes. The diversity in property available is ideal for singletons, young couples, small and large families to find their match in property and establish their own lifestyle. The perfect location offers a haven that allows tranquillity all year round to residents returning home daily from their various workplaces and especially on weekends. 

Brackenhurst is ideally located with easy access to amenities and facilities, that include major medical centres, shopping malls, local centres and schools only minutes away, either within the suburb limits or Alberton town. Notably within the suburb limits, private and public schools offer a diverse choice of education that caters for toddlers, primary and secondary school learners.

In addition, the ideal location with easy access to the major highways and routes (i.e. N12, N3 and R59) allows its residents a relatively easy daily commute to neighbouring suburbs and towns for work and short travelling times to destinations such as Johannesburg CBD (16 Kilometres) and OR Tambo International Airport (25 Kilometres).
