Cape Town Real Estate

About the product
Rich in history and surrounded by the vibrant Cape Town metropolitan life, City Bowl property exemplifies the age-old real estate mantra: Location, Location, Location! Some of the most amazing character homes and ultra-modern flats rest in the cradle of Table Mountain that stretches to the Waterfront.

Geographically proportioned like a "bowl", properties creep up the beginning steps of Signal Hill and stretch along the bases of Table Mountain and Devil's Peak, almost as if these charming and picturesque neighbourhoods were coming in with the tides of the Atlantic Ocean.

The neighbourhoods within the boundaries of the City Bowl include: Higgovale, Tamboerskloof, Gardens, Oranjezicht, Devil's Peak, Vredehoek, Bo Kaap, De Waterkant, and the Central Business District (CBD).

As a natural progression from the coastline of the city, much of the lay-out of the City Bowl was determined in the 17th century when its development first started to take shape. Dutch influence is seen in many of the heritage sites such as the Castle of Good Hope, Groote Kerk, and Company Gardens.

Later, into the 18th and 19th centuries, the City Bowl progressed further with the building of the Houses of Parliament, South African Museum, the Port of Cape Town, and much more.

Today, the City Bowl resembles other international favourites such as San Francisco, Monaco, and Cinque Terra just to name a few.

Harbour and Marina life is enjoyed by residents of areas from De Waterkant and the Victoria & Alfred (V&A) Waterfront. Urban revitalization is occurring in the Central Business District (CBD) with stunning contemporary Sectional Title flats and renovated olde historic multi-use buildings.

Culturally rich Bo Kaap, sprawling across the base of Signal Hill, is still as true to its original inhabiting population of the 18th century and often also called the Cape Malay Quarter.

Further up Signal Hill and the slopes of Table Mountain, straddling Kloof Nek road (which runs between Lion's Head and the former), are the suburbs of Tamboerskloof and Higgovale; both of which have a mix of Victorian cottages and mountainside villas with views as classic as the legacy of the city.

Many upmarket Single Residential City Bowl properties are situated in this area, which is filled with old oak trees and have a serene country feel while still making room for a few Art Deco blocks of flats.

Directly at the base of Table Mountain is Oranjezicht, gracious living and "Capetonian" style are abound in this prime City Bowl Real Estate suburb.

Further down and closer to the City Centre is Gardens, located close to its namesake and other historical sites. Both areas have a multitude of flats but nevertheless are filled with interesting City Bowl homes for sale.

On the other reach of the Mother City's arms are Devil's Peak and Vredehoek. On the slopes of the mountain towards the city centre, these suburbs are seasoned with small homes and often boast indigenous gardens to match their surrounding landscape.

Due to the natural geographic barriers that the various mountain peaks and the Atlantic Ocean provide, City Bowl real estate will always be sought after due to limited area for further development, its historic value, central location, and extraordinary neighbourhoods.

Other than the proximity to Cape Peninsula National Park, most residents also take advantage of the chic cafés and bistros, vibrant nightlife, eclectic shops, and romantic vistas from any vantage point.

There are a variety of top schools that will suit any families' needs and a plethora of activities to keep any demographic busy. Each neighbourhood has a diverse portfolio of Cape Town property - from maisonettes and semi-detached Cape Cottages, to spacious flats with spectacular views, and homes as rich in character as the city they inhabit.

City Bowl property has something for everyone, get a taste of the good life and turn your residence into a destination.
