Brackenfell is located in Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs and comprises a large residential, commercial and industrial area that caters to all sectors of the market. Mainly an Afrikaans-speaking community, those who buy property here are attracted to the area’s affordability compared to other suburbs closer to the city. Being quite well established, there are a number of excellent schools in the area, as well as a range of churches and other community related institutions.
In the early days, Brackenfell was a well-known crossing of the roads, from north to south and east to west. All the roads crossed each other in close proximity at the foot of the hill and this has always been a landmark in the area. Today, it is a relatively peaceful residential suburb that lies close to the beautiful Oostenberg mountains and the start of the lush Cape winelands region. Within easy reach of the major highways, this part of the Northern Suburbs has access to all the necessary amenities, as well as the Tygervalley Shopping Centre and an extensive industrial area.
All the popular beaches in Cape Town are within easy reach of Brackenfell, whether it’s Blaauwberg you are interested in or those nearer the city centre. Sports lovers are well catered for in various sporting facilities, as well as top class medical services in the vicinity. There are many who live in the Northern Suburbs and choose to commute to work in the city, which gives them the added bonus of escaping from the madness of big city life at the end of the day. When it comes to property, Brackenfell certainly has some of the most reasonable in the Cape.
