It lies 50 km (31 mi) east of Johannesburg and 72 km (45 mi) southeast from Pretoria.

Springs was divided during the Apartheid era into the middle- and upper-income white suburbs around the city centre, the Indian area of Bakerton east of the CBD, while black people were relocated to KwaThema, southwest of the CBD.
