What Home Will R2 Million Get You In Cape Town Vs. Joburg
Sherryn de Vos
2017-05-09
The battle between the Mother City and the City of Gold is an ongoing war. We take a look at who dominates the property market
Cape Town; land of the Seventh Wonder of the World, a.k.a Table Mountain, an ocean you cannot set foot into, and vast lands filled with wine.Johannesburg; land of malls, job opportunities, and mine dumps. Almost 1500 kms apart, these two cities, cannot be more different. Everything from the Joburg yuppie in their BMW to the Cape Tonian hipster sipping on his Truth coffee screams uniqueness.The debate between the two cities is endless, with most centred around the cost of living and homes in the two provinces. Joburgers boast about their large family homes with hectares of garden, mocking the two foot Cape Tonian balcony. Cape Tonians shrug off having a bath in the kitchen as they open their curtains to full Mountain or ocean views. “Quality of life” comes out of the Cape Tonian mouth once a week as they come from dinner inBree Street, to find their cars, once again, having been broken into.So, who wins the property war?
