DECIDELY DESIRABLE
Home to several schools, restaurants and shops and offering a wide variety of fun activities and family friendly entertainment, the suburb offers value for money and remains affordable
ASMALL southern suburb, Kenilworth is embraced by Wynberg to the south and Claremont to the north, and Harfield Village nestles close by. Its location is a big attraction for residents and potential buyers: it’s not too far from the city for commuters, but remains truly suburban, while it has its own essential businesses and retail outlets. The larger neighbouring suburbs have the rest;, not to forget several top schools nearby.
Convenience and affordability are two reasons why Kenilworth is considered highly desirable, says Just Property agent Martin Silver: “Not only is Kenilworth home to multiple schools, restaurants and shops, but it also has a spectacular view of the mountain. Just a stone’s throw away you’ll find Cavendish Square, which has mainstream chain retailers, a cinema, a food court and coffee shops.”
Kenilworth is a popular choice among families, offering a wide variety of fun activities and family-friendly entertainment, says Silver.
“Whether it’s Kenilworth Centre or the theatre just up the road at Maynardville, your choices are endless. For your peace of mind, there are hospitals and doctors’ rooms within the suburb, ensuring family health is always provided for.”
The homes in this well-established and still-flourishing suburb are spacious and have large, impressive gardens. “Kenilworth offers value for money and remains affordable,” says Silver.
“A small leafy suburb just 20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of the CBD, I’ve lived here for 10 years and I love it because it’s got everything one could want,” says local Kerry Ferreira. “It’s both modern and old and you can walk around and see buildings going up right next door to ancient 300-year-old oak trees. I love to see the new growth of the city and history sideby-side here.”
A firm favourite among locals is
