Kempton Park is well-known for being a family-friendly suburb with plenty of large shopping malls, recreation opportunities and proximity to O R Tambo International Airport. Another factor that is drawing increasing attention to Kempton Park is its array of lifestyle estates, where convenience meets security and an outstanding way of life. As a real estate agency specialising in Kempton Park estates, REALGLEN Properties has the full lowdown on three of the area’s most sought-after estates: Glen Erasmia Boulevard, Serengeti Lifestyle Estate, and Blue Gill Estate.
Glen Erasmia Boulevard – a beloved home since 1998
Picture an estate characterised by parks, large green expanses and safe, fun spaces for children. This is Glen Erasmia Boulevard in a nutshell. It was created with an idyllic way of life close to heart and the estate has won awards for its safety and security measures. A much-loved feature of life at Glen Erasmia Boulevard is the community spirit, with events being held for fun occasions like Entrepreneurs’ Day, Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
Lightstone data reveals that more than half (52%) of property owners in Glen Erasmia Boulevard have owned their homes for at least 11 years. This speaks volumes about outstanding way of life on offer here. Glen Erasmia is particularly popular with buyers classified as “middle aged” (between 36 and 49 years old), with 68% of recent buyers falling into this category. Media prices of freehold homes in Glen Erasmia Boulevard have been climbing steadily for two years.
Serengeti Lifestyle Estate – where life is lived to the fullest
With a total of five golfing experiences, it’s no surprise that Serengeti Lifestyle Estate is a popular home amongst golfers. However, the fact that there’s so much more on offer than just golf explains why it’s a sought-after home among golfers and non-golfers alike. Over and above golf, the estate’s sports club provides many opportunities to keep active, from tennis and padel to pickleball, volleyball and an array of traditional sports. There are also kids’ play areas, swimming pools, MTB trails, walking paths and many other opportunities to live an active lifestyle.
Serengeti Lifestyle Estate offers both freehold properties and sectional titles, all within a cocoon of safety and idyllic surrounds. Close to half of both stable owners and recent buyers fall into the aforementioned “middle-aged” category, which reinforces the popularity of this type of home among families and established individuals. The price of both freeholds and sectional titles has increased moderately in 2025, indicating more growth in the future and signalling that this is an ideal time to invest.
Blue Gill Estate – a home in the heart of nature
A home should be a respite from the stresses and pressures of everyday life and residents of Blue Gill Estate in Kempton Park could easily forget that they are just a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of Joburg. With its Instagrammable scenery, picturesque dam and abundance of open spaces to walk, run, cycle fish, fly kites, birdwatch and simply enjoy time outdoors, Blue Gill Estate is the perfect antidote to the outside world. The dam is well appreciated by those who enjoy catch-and-release fishing or simply want somewhere beautiful to take their dog for a walk. Like at other estates, residents of Blue Gill Estate get to take part in an array of events right at home, from carols by candlelight to charity dog walks.
Almost 57% of stable owners in Blue Gill Estate fall into the “mature” age category (between 50 and 64). This showcases the estate as an outstanding pre-retirement home. The median price of freeholds in Blue Gill Estate has dipped slightly in 2025, making this an outstanding time to invest.
