Thinking about making a move to Harfield Village? This quaint village is known for its beautiful cottages, picture-perfect gardens, an abundance of trees and parks, wide selection of restaurants and cafes, thriving local businesses, and central location.

Situated between Claremont and Kenilworth in the southern suburbs of Cape Town, it’s easy to miss Harfield on a map. This village is a small suburb with a huge heart, however. It is a sought-after area for young families, first-time homeowners, students, retirees, and many others looking for a village lifestyle.

Why We Love Harfield Village

There is plenty to love about Harfield Village. Some of the things that locals love the most include the following:

Its community.

Harfield is a true community. This is the type of place where people get to know each other. WhatsApp street groups ensure that all residents are connected. Neighbours become friends and locals always come together to help each other.

Its atmosphere.

Although lockdown has had a huge impact on the area’s coffee shops and restaurants, you will still soak up plenty of atmosphere on Second Avenue. This is Harfield’s mini CBD, with a variety of cafes, restaurants and bars. The quiet streets are wh9ere you’ll find joggers, dog walkers, families and others enjoying the fresh air.

Its houses.

The heritage-protected cottages are easily one of the area’s main selling points – especially for buyers. Harfield is home to many beautiful cottages, set on tiny streets lined with trees. Every cottage is different. Gardens are equally diverse. Take a walk or drive down any street, and you’ll see just how beautiful the houses are in the village.

These are just a few of the things that make the area so special. If you’d like to get a taste of what life is like in the village, we invite you to come for coffee at one of our coffee shops. Get a takeaway from one of our restaurants. Take a drive around the village. You’ll soon see why Harfield Village is considered one of the best areas in the southern suburbs.
