Durbanville has emerged as one of the most sought-after suburbs in Cape Town, offering an exceptional quality of life for families and professionals alike. According to Johan Meyer, Principal Property Practitioner at Century 21 Durbanville, the suburb’s appeal lies in its safe, well-established neighbourhoods, abundant green spaces, and community-driven lifestyle. “For families, it’s all about the safe, well-established neighbourhoods, plenty of green spaces, and that relaxed, community-driven lifestyle,” Meyer explains.
One of the most significant upcoming developments in Durbanville is the new STADIO University campus, expected to open in 2025/6, which will add even more educational opportunities to the area. In addition to great schools, the suburb boasts top-notch medical facilities and strong infrastructure, making it even more attractive to families. Professionals also find Durbanville appealing thanks to its strategic location with easy access to Cape Town’s city centre, the airport, and key business hubs. “It’s got easy access to Cape Town’s city centre, the airport, and key business hubs, which makes commuting much easier,” Meyer adds.
Durbanville’s charm is also influenced by its vineyards and green spaces, which not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also drive property values. “The vineyards and green spaces give Durbanville a unique charm that really sets it apart from other areas,” Meyer notes. These natural elements contribute to an active, outdoor lifestyle while supporting the local economy through tourism and business, ultimately boosting property values.
The suburb’s property market is experiencing diverse trends, driven largely by semigration and growing demand for family homes, gated estates, and modern townhouses. Meyer points out that new developments such as Pinehurst, Langeberg, Uitzicht, and Graanendal are particularly popular among relocating families. Meanwhile, young professionals and investors are drawn to the convenience and security of modern apartments.
Durbanville’s stable property market makes it a prime investment opportunity. Upcoming projects like the Groot Phesantekraal Shopping Centre and the planned Cape Winelands Airport are set to enhance connectivity and local appeal further. As Meyer explains, “Luxury homes and modern apartments in high-demand neighbourhoods offer great buy-to-let opportunities.”
