Suburb Overview

Parklands is one of the fastest-growing residential suburbs on Cape Town’s West Coast. Known for its variety of housing — from modern apartments to spacious family homes — it appeals to first-time buyers, young professionals, and families looking for value without sacrificing convenience.

The suburb has a cosmopolitan atmosphere, supported by excellent amenities, reliable MyCiTi bus routes, and its close proximity to both Table View and Bloubergstrand beaches. Its accessibility, affordability, and range of lifestyle options make it one of Cape Town’s most popular investment hotspots.

While busier than neighbouring suburbs like Sunningdale, many areas and developments are monitored by community policing forums and private security. The neighbourhood also benefits from a strong community spirit, with local schools, sports clubs, and small businesses adding to its appeal.
