With a strong sense of community, Brits is an ideal place if you're looking for a relaxed and friendly lifestyle. The town, located north of Hartbeespoort Dam, is an agricultural hotspot that produces citrus fruit, grain, and vegetables. Its economy is also boosted by the local heavy industrial industry and several platinum mines. Beyond this, Brits is known for its access to captivating natural attractions. This makes it a popular place for tourists and residents alike.
With its serene surroundings and comparatively affordable cost of living, Brits is a good option if you're looking for value for money. There's a range of real estate available from entry-level apartments, spacious houses, and scenic vacant land, to sprawling farms.
A brief history of the area
Brits had its origins on the farm Roode Kopjes (Red Hills) in 1924 and was named after the farm owner, Gert Brits. The area was given a boost when Hartbeespoort Dam opened in 1923, supplying farmlands around Brits with water. Brits has also developed as part of South Africa's platinum belt. Together with Rustenburg, it produces more platinum than any other single area in the world.

This proximity makes it popular for local day visitors and international tourists.
