Though I can work in the whole of the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town, my area of speciality is Uitzicht.

Uitzicht: Where Community Meets Opportunity in Cape Town's Northern Suburbs

Uitzicht is experiencing a dynamic growth phase, with ongoing developments positioning it as a compelling investment opportunity in the Northern Suburbs. The area attracts both established families and young professionals seeking quality, affordable housing in a peaceful setting.

Location & Accessibility

Bordered by Graanendal and Groot Phesantekraal Estate to the north and Pinehurst to the south, Uitzicht sits on the western edge of Okavango Road. It is furthermore strategically positioned between Okavango Road and Brackenfell Boulevard, with Welgevonden and Pinehurst as neighbouring communities, Uitzicht offers excellent connectivity. The CBD is 35km away, while Cape Town International Airport is just 31km distant. A question that often pops up about Uitzicht, is whether it falls under Durbanville or Kraaifontein. Although Okavango Road is mostly viewed as the devide between Durbanville and Kraaifontein, Uitziht falls under the Kraaifontein municipality. This is confusing, even when doing a search on Property24 as Uitzicht is listed under both Kraaifontein and Durbanville, and depending which search is entered. For instance, if a search is entered for properties in "Uitzicht Kraaifontein", only properties loaded under "Uitzicht Kraaifontein" will be shown, while properties listed under "Uitzicht Durbanville" will not come up in the search results. It is better to search both when searching for properties in Uitzicht.
