The small suburb of Boskruin is situated on the West side of Greater Johannesburg beside the M5 route that leads to Honeydew. Boskruin falls within the jurisdiction of the Randburg Municipality, which, in turn, falls within that of Johannesburg.
Boskruin is a village-like suburb with up-market housing and security complexes, as well as a village shopping centre. Boskruin's properties are spacious, and the area is considered one of Randburg's most exclusive, with some of its best houses on Boschkop Avenue bordering the conservation area, fetching top prices.
Boskruin Kopje is one of the few remaining "green lungs" left in the northern part of the Johannesburg area. With indigenous trees hundreds of years old, the vegetation is rich and beautiful. Over 144 species of birds and small animals (including hedgehogs, tortoises and mongooses) have made this their home. Dassies are often seen basking in the sun on the picturesque natural outcrop of ancient granitic rocks.
