Centurion - the place to be

The lovely suburb of Centurion is located in the Gauteng province of South Africa. As it is ideally located alongside Midrand, between Pretoria and Johannesburg, it has become a popular residential area with easy access to excellent amenities and public transport.

Centurion is considered to be one of the fastest-growing cities in Gauteng. This new world city attracts major industries like finance and consulting, as well as catering for professionals who require state-of-the-art facilities in a central location with easy access to O.R. Tambo International Airport.

Centurion is a shopper's delight for residents. World-class shopping facilities such as Centurion Mall, Centurion Lifestyle Centre, Irene Village Mall and Doringkloof Mall keep residents trendy and entertained throughout the year. For the foodies, top restaurants include O'Galito, Burger Bistro, Fishmonger, Ga Rouge Restaurant & Wine Cellar, and Fleisherei Bistro.

Liza Gillett, Property Consultant at Jawitz Properties Centurion and Midstream, highlights some of the key factors that are influencing people to move to Centurion. "Centurion offers good value with excellent growth prospects. It is very centrally located and is a modern first world suburb with excellent amenities and public transport led by the Gautrain. We have exceptional outdoor facilities, including three nature reserves, numerous golf courses, a live dairy farm, and mountain biking tracks to name but a few."

The Waterkloof Air Force Base, the Swartkop Air Force Base, and the South African Air Force Museum are also located in Centurion. Other nearby attractions include the Voortrekker Monument, Lion and Safari Park, Lesedi Cultural Village, as well as the haunted Erasmus Castle.

Over the past few years, Centurion has become a popular spot for first-time home buyers. Buyers can choose from elegant private housing estates and gated communities to sectional and full title properties. According to Gillett, Centurion offers something for everyone's style, taste and pocket. "Buyers can choose from a wide range of smaller secure modern two bedroom apartments in downtown Centurion to stylish new houses in Midstream Estates, or a house with rustic charm and loads of history in the Irene Village," she explained.

Also appealing to the retirees, there are many reputable retirement villages in Centurion that provide the perfect environment for those looking to retire in a comfortable, care-free environment. "This tranquil city offers a wide range of retirement accommodation from established and secure retirement villages in the central region to the luxury modern retirement villages in Midstream Estates," says Gillett.
