Clifton, Higgovale, Tamboerskloof - Real Estate Value

Although property in Clifton is cheap compared with equivalent locations elsewhere in the world, the area has some of the most expensive real estate in South Africa. Given the location and setting though, this is hardly surprising.

Tamboerskloof and Higgovale are wealthy suburbs really close to Cape Town. They are extremely desirable addresses and I believe their value will keep climbing.
