 Yes, welcoming Simon back. Of course the CEO of private property. We've had a lot of fun looking at Neighborhoods and last week we got a sneak peek at one of the prime neighborhoods in the country sands and today We move a little closer to home taking a look at the southern suburbs of Cape Town The birds do we call it? Well, I think Cape Town is a very interesting market certainly very different to Joberg in some areas But also some similarities when approaching the property market here in Cape Town, where do we start? What's the first step do you think? Well, you know, that's what we set out to answer with this whole neighborhoods project is You know, where does someone really want to live? What is the type of lifestyle that they want to access and and I think what's really beautiful about the Cape? I mean no matter where you are in the country people buy into the beauty of the scenery down in the Cape emotional Yeah, there's this lovely Emphasis on natural beauty and I think that's something that the southern suburbs obviously has heaps of you know Nestled in the in the foot of Table Mountain with Kirstenbosch Gardens and these beautiful forests I mean, it's got that amazing Natural feel about the area. We know that the area boasts. I think some of the oldest most wealthy Properties out there Bishops Court absolutely awe-inspiring, but there are some more and you know Sort of accessible points to break into the property market. What what is the market like in the southern suburbs? Yeah, I mean the property market is as you said filled with these grand old homes with these beautiful big spreads Unusually for for property market anywhere in the country 77% of the properties in southern suburbs are homes free-standing houses No, usually you see it biased towards flats apartments townhouses. You're complexes and job It's just a density around that but in southern suburbs. It's all these beautiful old homes And that's unusual and as a result the values of properties are quite high in southern suburbs I mean as you know You're looking at an average property going for about six million in southern suburbs, which is high high average That's amazing to me I think it says a lot about the kind of culture that you're buying into when you move into an area and what I love About neighborhoods is looking at the lifestyle. Who are you going to be living next door to so I'm gonna pose the same question I did to you last week. Who's my neighbor if I'm living in the southern suburbs? I think southern suburbs is all about family, right? It's it's that You've got the varsity just around the corner. You've got some excellent schools in the area So it's it's very much and family-oriented neighborhood. Yeah, we profiled one such guy in in southern suburbs He's been living there for over 20 years with his family These kids go to the schools just around the corner and for him It's about that lifestyle, you know that kind of that farm sense that you get, you know There's beautiful wine farms in Constantia and you go and walk the dogs and and I think that will be your typical neighbor Someone that wants to be in touch with nature But has a very kind of family-oriented family mindset and presumably a son that plays rugby if you're going to be going to one Of those four facilities are fantastic. Yeah, so one last tip to leave us with for concerning the southern suburbs Southern suburbs is definitely about family.
