Nestled at the foothills of Northcliff Hill, Albertskroon is an old Joburg suburb, lying north west of the city, adjoining Greymont and Montgomery Park. Established around 1896 on Waterval farm, the area was named after the Alberts family, the original farm owners. The only artesian spring in Gauteng is tucked away under the Northcliff ridge on this urban farm. The spring continues to flow, and because of it, Albertskroon is now the second largest ‘green lung’ in Joburg.
