BUY HERE: Our insider guide to Gardens
Trees, squirrels and birds abound in this suburb at the foot of Table Mountain. It has a proven track record of positive growth for investors, and one- and two-bedroom apartments are snapped up
This week we are taking a look at my own hood, Gardens, where I have lived for 11 years. Map boundaries in the city bowl are odd, to say the least, and technically my apartment block falls just outside the border of Gardens, in Oranjezicht.
The former is easier to write on forms and explain for deliveries, so Gardens it is. We are at the foot of Table Mountain (we experience the full force of the notorious summer south-easter when everything rattles and shakes) with the CBD spread out before us.
