Claremont & Claremont Upper property for sale and to rent

Claremont is one of the busiest, most connected hubs in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs, and it’s really several distinct neighbourhoods living side by side. Upper Claremont holds onto its 1800s village roots with large family homes and mature gardens under a mountain backdrop, while Main Road below hums with restaurants, shops, and Cavendish Square, one of the city’s biggest shopping centres.

Cross the railway line and the pace slows into Harfield Village and Lynfrae, two of the leafiest, most sought-after residential pockets in the area. Lynfrae in particular is known for its quiet streets, high-ceilinged homes with wooden floors and fireplaces, and its closeness to Newlands Cricket and Rugby Grounds, Western Province Cricket Club, and Kelvin Grove. Harfield Village keeps its own village character, with small neighbourhood parks like Hampstead and Purley offering pockets of green between the homes.

Right in the middle sits Arderne Gardens, home to the Moreton Bay Fig known locally as the Wedding Tree — one of the largest trees in South Africa and a genuine local landmark. Families are drawn here for the catchment of top schools nearby, plus easy reach of Claremont and Kingsbury Hospitals and the Red Cross Children’s Hospital. Property ranges from grand Claremont Upper family homes to compact Harfield cottages and Lynfrae character houses — real variety for buyers, sellers, and tenants across one of the most connected corners of the Southern Suburbs.
