Living in South Africa’s Most Affluent Suburb
Category Atlantic Seaboard
Clifton has long remained South Africa’s most exclusive and expensive residential node, with magnificent mansions and upmarket abodes to be found on every street. Similarly, properties in Clifton have continued to fetch some of the highest prices in the country – with the level of stock diminishing rapidly, as more and more property investors and home buyers snap up Clifton real estate with haste.
The Most Expensive Suburb
Resting between the opulent areas of Bantry Bay and Camps Bay, Clifton is seen as a property aspiration destination by many seeking up-market accommodation or foreigners who are seeking holiday homes along the Atlantic Seaboard.
Named the country’s most expensive suburb in 2017, Clifton boasts an astonishing, average property selling price of R23m, R6.5m above that of Sandton’s Sandhurst, which came in at an average sale price of R16.5 million.
The Most Expensive Street
The exclusivity of Clifton is even further supported by a recent Lightstone report which identified the most expensive street in South Africa. With an average property value of R27.3m; Clifton’s very own Nettleton Road tops the list. As one could expect, Nettleton is one of the most desired addresses and with its grand mansions is reputed to be the most sought-after streets in the continent – catering only to the exceptionally elite homebuyer and property investor.
