CLIFTON
Clifton is without a doubt the most exclusive residential area in South Africa and is home to some of the most expensive real estate in South Africa. The majority of its dwellings are nestled against cliffs with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Clifton has four world renowned beaches, named according to number, with Fourth Beach ranking among the best beaches in the world. During summer these beaches are frequented by locals and tourists who seek to bathe with total protection from the notorious south easterly wind.
Clifton’s beaches and beautiful views attract many of the world’s top celebrities who seem to enjoy spending vacations basking in the sun and surf on the more secluded First & Second beaches. The popular Fourth beach often sees private yachts anchoring just outside of it, and it boasts Blue Flag status in recognition of its environmental, safety and tourist standards.
Real Estate in Clifton is enormously expensive by South African standards, with even the bungalows built just above First and Second beaches way out of most South Africans’ price range.
Situated on a mountain pass road between Sea Point and Camps Bay, Clifton offers some of the most spectacular view in the world. Camps Bay and Sea Point, two other popular Atlantic Seaboard suburbs that border Clifton on either side offer residents all the shopping, schooling and amenities they require.
Given the exclusivity of Clifton, and its popularity among the who’s who of society and glitterati, it is not at all surprising that Clifton has the biggest selection of top priced properties in the country.
