Muizenberg has long been touted as an up and coming area, and over the past few years more and more first-time property buyers have dipped a toe in the water.

They’re now seeing some pretty decent returns on their investment, so we thought we would have a quick squizz to see what a cool R3,5 million can get you in the current market.

For that, we’re heading to Seeff, to check out a two-bedroom flat. Here’s the write-up:

Hassle free, secure living – with spectacular sea & mountain views are forever yours, in this sumptuous corner Apt nestled above trendy restaurants, shops and mile after mile of “paradise on earth” beach, this dream unit is a lifetime buy!

Not sure I would call Muizies paradise on earth, but at least there’s the chance of seeing Dale Steyn surfing pretty much any day he isn’t playing cricket or fishing.

Let’s peek inside the 92-square-metre flat:

Not bad, but you’re definitely paying a premium for the proximity to the beach.

For a point of comparison, here’s a R3,5 million flat in Sea Point.

I’d happily take either, if anyone is offering.
