Local knowledge
Living in Cape Town Northern Suburbs
The Northern Suburbs (Durbanville, Bellville, Tyger Valley, Brackenfell and surrounds) mix long-running Afrikaans-community villages with newer lifestyle estates. Mediclinic Durbanville and Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt in Bellville are close by, and the N1 makes the drive to Paarl and Stellenbosch short.
Prices tend to sit below the Southern Suburbs and the Atlantic side, which makes the area popular with families relocating a parent from Gauteng.
About old age homes

Many in the Western Cape are run by churches or non-profit organisations, and some receive a subsidy from the Department of Social Development, which can make them more affordable.
