Cape Town lifestyle, investment, and rental notes
Lifestyle
Cape Town sells mountain, ocean, and a Mediterranean climate. Load-shedding backups and security are practical filters. The Atlantic Seaboard is the international postcard; the southern suburbs are more family-residential.
Investment
Scarcity on the peninsula supports values. Short stays compete with a tight long-term market in popular suburbs. Sectional-title levies must be modelled.
Rentals and development
Holiday lets are material on the Atlantic Seaboard. Long-term professional demand is city-wide. New stock is limited on the mountain–sea strip; more appears on selected edges.
