The real estate markets in Cape Town’s City Bowl and Camps Bay continue to attract buyers seeking a balance of urban convenience and coastal luxury. Professionals, investors, and high-net-worth individuals see these areas as prime locations for property investment. To understand the latest trends, we spoke with Fez Kunene from Century 21 City Bowl | Camps Bay.
A diverse range of properties defines City Bowl, from high-rise apartments to historic homes. “City Bowl offers modern apartments, historic homes, and loft-style living in a dynamic city environment,” says Kunene. Neighborhoods like Bo-Kaap, Vredehoek, and Woodstock cater to different buyer preferences, from heritage enthusiasts to trend-conscious professionals.
Luxury coastal living is best exemplified in Camps Bay and Llandudno. “Camps Bay is a cosmopolitan hub with beachfront properties, high-end apartments, and modern villas, attracting international investors and celebrities,” Kunene explains. Meanwhile, Llandudno remains a secluded paradise with strict zoning laws, making it a prime location for those valuing privacy and exclusivity.
Young professionals and investors continue to drive demand in City Bowl, valuing its affordability and accessibility. “Sectional-title properties and apartments are particularly popular due to their investment potential,” Kunene notes. Camps Bay, however, remains dominated by affluent buyers looking for premium homes and lucrative holiday rentals.
Tourism plays a key role in both short-term rental income and long-term property appreciation. “City Bowl sees steady rental demand from corporate and leisure travelers, while Camps Bay commands premium holiday rental rates,” Kunene highlights. The sustained growth in tourism fuels strong investment opportunities across both markets.
For those entering the property market, careful planning is crucial. “City Bowl provides affordable entry points with strong rental yields, while Camps Bay offers long-term appreciation but requires higher capital,” advises Kunene. Early financial preparation and selecting prime locations can greatly enhance investment success.
Tailored real estate services make a significant difference in these competitive markets. “Whether an investor seeking rental income or a family looking for a long-term home, we provide detailed market insights and customized services,” Kunene states, emphasizing the importance of working with experienced professionals.
With a dynamic mix of urban vibrancy and coastal exclusivity, Cape Town’s real estate market offers remarkable opportunities. Whether purchasing a first home, seeking investment potential, or acquiring a luxury property, expert guidance from Century 21 ensures a well-informed and strategic approach.
