Cape Town Apartments

Get a head start to living in Cape Town South Africa

Where can I find the best Cape Town apartments when moving to the Mother City and which ones are popular with expatriates in Cape Town?

This is one of the top questions I get asked by expats moving to South Africa. So here is my answer to these questions for you:

Your decision if you prefer living in one of the serviced Cape Town apartments or if you favor to rent a house or flat straight away when you move to South Africa will be your first step when deciding on a suitable housing.



Therefore I recommend you rent a serviced apartment in one of the many Cape Town apartment blocks to start with and check out the areas which are the most suitable for your stay.

When moving to Cape Town expatriates tend to rent a house or apartment (furnished or unfurnished) at the start of their posting. Once you are aquainted with the area you favor, you might even make the decision to invest in property in South Africa.

But for the initial time of house seeking I would recommend you stay in a serviced apartment, of which many are superbly fitted out.

The standard of these apartments are usually of up-market quality like in good hotels really and modern with appliances and leisure facilities like swimming pool, gym or sauna in the complex.

The better condominiums are located in safe and clean suburbs around Cape Town, where you will find a good neighborhood and community life and where you will not be far from good schools or your place of work.

Here is the biggest advice I can give you: Take your time when deciding on the right area.

Good serviced Apartments in Cape Town are:

Atlantic Seabord: The Bantry Bay Luxury Suites

V & A Waterfront: Waterfront village and Ashanti Suite

City Centre: Mandela Rhodes Place

Century City: Knightsbridge

Milnerton: Leisure Bay, Lagoon Beach

Blouberg/Blaauwberg: Dolphin Beach

These apartment complexes were used by us or have been highly recommended by other expatriates.

If you know of other great places, share your info and contact me.

To find a place to rent or buy, check out the following areas and see which one of the suburbs YOU like best.
