The Western Cape of South Africa has continually experienced growth in their real estate market over the past ten years. In the year 2007, research results show that South African real estate overall received a 15.1% return. This is better than sixteen other major countries and the future looks even brighter for the possibility of South Africa staying as a leader in the worldwide real estate market. As the most populated area of South Africa, the Western Cape of South Africa is responsible for most of the growth, and as more people relocate to Cape Town, real estate there becomes more valuable. This is partially due to the neighborhoods of the Cape Town area, where residential real estate on the Western Cape of South Africa is particularly sought after. There are neighborhoods like Clifton, which is the center of local society and a highly sought after place in which to live. The high-end homes of Clifton are popular for their ocean views and proximity to the pure granite sand beaches of the Atlantic. Camps Bay is another upscale neighborhood on the Atlantic coast of Cape Town. Located at the base of the Twelve Apostles mountain range, its palm-lined beachfront hugs the coast of the Western Cape of South Africa, and has many trendy shops and eateries. Homes here are owned by the affluent, and in the winter months Camps Bay has a busy tourist season. The homes of Llandudno are still on the beaches of the Western Cape of South Africa, but are more private than other beach homes. The very wealthy live here, and enjoy a semi-private beach and the luxury of no tourists. There are no shops or restaurants here, only exclusive, private residences. Of course, there is the residential real estate in Cape Town itself, which is a world away from the Atlantic Seaboard. The Newlands, a district famous for its rugby stadium, is a perfect place for families to purchase a home. Situated at the base of Table Mountain near the city bowl, this area of the Western Cape of South Africa receives more rain fall per year than any other and has been nicknamed the 'green' district. Perhaps the trendiest neighborhood in Cape Town is De Waterkant. Right near the famous Victor and Albert Waterfront, De Waterkant is made up of the cobble stone streets and the Cape Dutch style buildings that the Western Cape of South Africa is famous for. This is the area closest to the business district of Cape Town, so many young professional live here. Further inland, there are many properties available in the Wine region and the Garden Route of the Western Cape of South Africa. Here, home buyers can choose from historic Cape Dutch homes or more modern properties in this picturesque and beautiful valley close to Cape Town. The Western Cape of South Africa has an immense variety of real estate to choose from for anyone who wants to live here.
