Ekurhuleni is a vast suburban sprawl that consists of a large number of suburbs.
One predominant factor in deciding which suburb to reside in is the location which in many instances depends on the proximity to the major industrial hubs on the east rand. There are of course people employed within the commercial sector and even then the location is generally of benefit as all the major roads connect to commercial hubs too.
The various suburbs also all have a degree of status which depends greatly on demand, age, architecture and sales stats.
