Could living in downtown Cape Town be for you? With a median investment value for residential apartments at R1.8 million in 2019 - and with new investments in the city centre still buoyant - now may be the time to consider swapping suburbia for a cool inner-city work-eat-sleep-play lifestyle.

“If cities were romances, Cape Town would be the love-at-first-sight,” according to Condé Nast Traveller. South Africa’s alluring Mother City has dusted off 2020 and its downtown is more than ready to welcome visitors from near and far this festive season.

The award-winning city is often associated with beaches and wine estates, but it is its city centre – as vibrant, culturally rich, gastronomically exciting and downright cool as any in the world – that woos visitors with its depth and charm.
