The bustling city of Edenvale on the East Rand that we know today began as a small settlement in 1903, shortly after the Anglo Boer War, though back then it was known to locals as Rietfontein, home to Cornish mine workers who worked the Rietfontein Gold Mine.
Today, this humming city is home to a growing population of 70,000. High investment in upper-income property clusters and townhouses in recent years have turned Edenvale into a buyer's hotspot. Whether you've got your eye on a family home in Eastleigh, Illiondale or Edenvale Central, or a luxury property in Dowerglen or Edenglen, there is a home to suit every taste and budget.
