It’s no secret that property in Cape Town is possibly the hottest asset on the market right now, and when you zoom in, you’ll find that the Atlantic Seaboard provides the cream of the crop. With a wide variety of options – from stately old homes in the quiet streets of Green Point to swanky new apartment blocks in Sea Point, to the much-coveted mansions of Fresnaye – there’s plenty to choose from and the area is home to residents from all walks of life.
Millionaire’s Mile
From Millionaire’s Mile (along Victoria and Kloof Road) all the way to the Waterfront, the Atlantic Seaboard is literally a dream investment spot for buyers from local shores and abroad, and there’s been a considerable boom in the development of high rises and multi-storey buildings, which make the most of land use and occupation while ensuring that residents get picture-perfect ocean views.
Value of property
While the ever-increasing value of property here is certainly a huge draw card that keeps buyers interested, it is the lifestyle that one can enjoy on this strip of coastline that cements its popularity. With unbeatable sea and mountain views, a whole plethora of outdoor pursuits are par for the course and the bustling promenade – where everything from cycling, running and yoga to boot camps happen on a daily basis – is one of Cape Town’s most-prized treasures, and well-maintained to boot. There are also some lovely swimming beaches in the mix, such as Saunders Beach and Rocklands, while the Sea Point swimming pool draws huge crowds thanks to its excellent facilities and pristine and spacious grounds.
And then there’s the shopping…
All along Sea Point and Green Point’s and Main Roads, there’s been a massive increase in small, bespoke boutique-style shops – including home ware and cutting-edge fashion, and on the culinary front, some of the Mother City’s best eateries are found here. Amenities that make the area even more attractive include the top-notch Virgin Active-gym in Green Point as well as the famous Green Point Park, with its walkways, picnic spots and various educational elements to keep kids entertained.
