Alberton was established on the farm Elandsfontein in 1904. A syndicate of property developers, chaired by the town's namesake General Hendrik Alberts, laid out the town on a portion of the farm.

 

Alberton is located about 12km southeast of Johannesburg and offers easy access to most major freeways, such as the N12 that runs around the city of Johannesburg, the N17 that runs due east and of course the N3 Durban highway.

 

The estate is situated in the heart of Meyersdal, in Alberton, and was established around 2003. The estate consists of 69 exclusive upmarket homes which are only accessed via a security controlled guardhouse, which is manned by a private security company on a 24hour 7day basis. The estate boasts amazing well established gardens with outdoor gym equipment and play parks for children.
