Centurion is a fast growing area that is well positioned to provide easy access to both Johannesburg and Pretoria via the Ben Schoeman Highway and as well as the OR Tambo airport (R21) and Lanseria airport (R28). Centurion stretches from the R21 freeway in the East to just beyond the R511 in the West. In the South it borders on Olifantsfontein Road and to the North it stretches to the outskirts of Pretoria City. Centurion Property is very popular because Centurion is conveniently situated between Johannesburg and Pretoria.

In 1841 the Erasmus family arrived and settled in the area that would later become Centurion. The farms on which they settled included Zwartkop, Doornkloof and Brakfontein.  A portion of the farm Doornkloof was later sold and renamed Irene.

Centurion is situated on the Highveld and has a similar climate to Johannesburg, but is generally a few degrees warmer. Winters are dry and sunny with temperatures ranging from 5 degrees to 22 degrees whilst summers are accompanied by late afternoon thunderstorms with temperatures ranging from 12 degrees to 36 degrees.

Centurion consists of approximately 40 suburbs and includes four golf Estates, about thirty up market security Estates, smallholdings, as well as numerous security complexes. There is a broad selection of property and real estate available in Centurion to satisfy all buyers. These range from freestanding houses, townhouses, duets and apartments to security estates and cluster developments. There are also a number of agricultural holdings.

The main shopping malls include the Centurion Mall, Reds Mall, Southdown’s Mall and Farm Villages Mall. Besides the four private schools, Centurion offers seven model C high schools and fifteen model C primary schools

Centurion’s strategic position means that those investing in property here enjoy an excellent infrastructure. Good schools, shopping malls, restaurants and bars, hospitals and entertainment and sporting facilities are all within easy reach. The Waterkloof Air Force Base as well as the Swartkops Air Force Base are both situated in Centurion. Centurion also has its own Raceway, namely the Swartkops Racing Track as well as a cricket stadium, (Supersport Park)  

The municipality of Verwoerdburg was formed in 1967 but was originally known as Lyttelton in 1962 having been formed by combining Doornkloof, Irene and Lyttelton . The Lyttelton Township was originally marked out on the farm Droogegrond in 1904.  The name Verwoerdburg came from the then South African prime minister Hendrik Verwoerd. The association with the architect of apartheid was untenable after the first democratic election in 1994, and the municipality was renamed Centurion in 1995.

During the First Anglo Boer War a Boer Commando under the leadership of DJ Erasmus defeated Colonel Glidea or the “blasted Colonel” at the battle for Rooihuiskraal. During the second Boer war the British established a concentration camp in Irene which housed 5,500 prisoners, mostly women and children. The Jan Smuts house is a monument in Irene and hosts a craft market twice a month and the Irene dairy farm is also very popular.

Centurion has a number of business nodes including the Samrand Business Park, Highveld Business Park and Sunderland Ridge Industrial area. Centurion also has its fair share of parks, private hospitals, clinics, libraries, theatres (Centurion theatre) and will have its own station serving the Gautrain.
