Is Cape Town, Western Cape a good place to live? How is the quality of life?

Not only is Cape Town known as the mother city, but it is home to so many luxurious stays including vibrant beaches and the amazing “Table mountain”. Cape Town warmly welcomes all tourists and makes their stay worthwhile and this can be verified by any tourist. The food and also the culture is very interesting and also inviting to anyone who isn’t familiar with it. I would recommend coming to Cape Town any time of any day that’s how nice it is.

If you wish to move to Cape Town, you need to be ready to spend a little extra on food and rent. In the event that the reason for your move is temporary (e.g., for a period shorter than 6 months), you should look for a short lease as accommodation is expensive. The weather is also quite unpredictable, so you might want to invest in both summer wear and winter wear for a comfortable stay.

Cape Town, it is known by many as the “Mother City’ the most beautiful and vibrant holiday destination at the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Western Cape South- Africa.My city is filled with beauty, residents from different races and religions all co-existing in goodwill. During the week it gets chaotic. The streets are filled with people trying to get to work, some travel by meter taxis and some by Busses. The numerous café filled with chanter of those who are in a hurry to get their first dose of caffeine in the morning.

You can go for a hike or take the cable cart up Table Mountain to experience the unrealistically beautiful views offered by the city. If the city is not for you. You can take a trip down to the “Cape of Good Hope”, which is the most South-Western tip of Africa with mountain trails and beautiful views. The route will lead you through the most beautiful beaches with white sand. My favourite is without a doubt boulders beach in Simons Town. Which is the Natural Habitat of our African penguins who are happy to share their home with visitors.

The most important thing one must consider before moving to Cape Town is the high crime rate. Due to the close proximity to vast slums, Cape Town’s crime rates have been steadily increasing over the past few years. It does not make Cape Town an unbearable place to live, however; it simply means that locals must be constantly wary of going out at night, going out anywhere alone, leaving cars parked in public areas, or any other daily tasks that require an extra sense of vigilance.

Cape Town is a wonderful city with a lot of different forms of entertainment available to everyone. One thing to remember before you move here, is that during summer, the wind blows all the time. It can be rather unpleasant, but it one endures it, as it does have its benefits such as keeping the air clean.

I’m a born and bred Capetonian and am very happy living here. The cost of living is pretty affordable and life is generally quite good if you have some money as our currency the Rand is quite weak. If you can afford to live in a middle-class suburb, any crime you may experience is the risk of burglary, on occasion you may hear of a home robbery. Almost everyone is linked to a private armed response company. You will see private security vehicles on most street corners, police not so often. Homicides seldom occur in the suburbs. The folks living in the Cape flats have it quite tough as gangsters rule those streets and that is where most killings occur. If you remain alert and act responsibly, Cape Town has a lot to offer.

Cape Town is a breathtaking city on a beautiful peninsula. Most of the information you need you will find from all the great guide books and websites. Try and live near where you work and if you must commute, try to drive against the traffic. The seawater is freezing since we live near the Atlantic Ocean. The peninsula also means that Cape Town is not one monolithic city, but more a series of interwoven urban villages, each with their characters. Try and go on city free walking tours, take the red bus rides and explore the city. Cape Town is the most beautiful place on earth.

Sandy beaches, beautiful hiking routes and delicious foods are a few outstanding activities that Cape Town is known for. I recommend coming here, to be ready for exploring food, music and nature. Our ‘Mother City’ offers diversity like no other. My favourite evenings are spent watching the sunset on the famous Signal Hill.

Cape Town is an amazing city. I live close to Table Mountain, which is one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World. Cape Town has mountains, beaches, wineries as well culture and history. It is a great place for the adventurer and the culture-vulture. The only thing to consider before moving here, is the crime rate. You have to get used to being vigilant all the time and have proper security systems installed at home. Despite that, I would recommend living in Cape Town.

This is a beautiful city, full of very good and friendly people. There are a lot of interesting things to do like hiking the famous Table Mountain, paragliding and seeing animals in the wild. However the weather can be harsh sometimes, winter is very cold, wet and windy. Avoid the high density suburbs because there is too much crime. In overall this is a very good place to visit and the experience will be great.

Cape Town is a beautiful city full of wonderful places to visit and loads of views to see. I would, however, recommend getting your own vehicle to move around from place to place as the public transport is unfortunately not the most reliable and you would most likely end up being late for work.

Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and a wonderful place. Table Mountain is our most famous and recognisable landmark and one of the new seven wonders of the world. Cape Town has a very diverse population and the people are friendly and relaxed.

Cape Town is a beautiful city with many attractions. The crime in Cape Town is relatively high, for this reason I recommend doing activities in groups. Table Mountain is a wonderful hike to do, there are multiple routes that one can do and if you are not big on hiking – there is a cable car that can take you up the mountain.
