🇿🇦 Where to live in Cape Town

Cape Town's residential areas fall into a few clear groups: the central City Bowl and Gardens under Table Mountain, the Atlantic strip running through Green Point, Sea Point and Camps Bay, the rail-served inner areas of Woodstock and Observatory, and the leafier southern suburbs around Claremont and Constantia. Walking access to a station varies widely, from five minutes in Woodstock, Observatory and Claremont to well over an hour from Camps Bay. Character ranges from dense and lively to green and family-oriented within a short distance.
