Cape Town Southern Suburbs Property

Real estate in South Africa is as diverse as it is plentiful. Take the Southern suburbs for instance; a group of suburbs lying southeast of the Cape Town City Bowl comprised of well-known areas such as Observatory, Mowbray, Rosebank, Rondebosch, Newlands, Bishopscourt, Claremont, Kenilworth, Constantia property, Wynberg, Bergvliet and Tokai. The Southern suburbs are predominantly residential with a variety of older-style homes that range from cottage-style semi-detached houses in Mowbray, Claremont and Wynberg, to larger homes and gardens in leafy Constantia and Bishopscourt. Wynberg Village has retained a distinctive atmosphere of days gone by and Observatory is well known for its cosmopolitan high street, with a distinctly bohemian flavor. Newlands is synonymous with the world of rugby, cricket and other sporting events; as well as being one of Cape Town’s greenest suburbs.

Note-worthy places of interest surrounding these Cape Town properties include the world-renowned Kirstenbosch Gardens, Mostert’s Mill in Mowbray, the Baxter Theatre in Rosebank and the Irma Stern Museum in Rosebank. The University of Cape Town in Rondebosch has a rich history and dates back to 1829. Main shopping malls serving the Southern suburbs include: Cavendish Square Shopping Centre in Claremont, Constantia Village shopping centre, the Blue Route Mall and Steenberg Village in Tokai.
