Southern Suburbs, Cape Town
The Southern Suburbs are a group of predominantly affluent, Anglophone suburbs in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa. The region is home to mainly detached homes, and features tree-lined streets and numerous public parks.
The region comprises the suburbs of Bergvliet, Bishopscourt, Claremont, Constantia, Diep River, Dreyersdal, Heathfield, Kenilworth, Kirstenhof, Marina da Gama, Meadowridge, Mowbray, Muizenberg, Newlands, Observatory, Plumstead, Rondebosch, Rosebank, Tokai, Westlake, and Wynberg.
The Southern Suburbs were some of the earliest parts of Cape Town to develop – most especially the areas around the Constantia Winelands.
During the Apartheid era, the Southern Suburbs were predominantly "whites only" residential areas.
In mid-2025, the Southern Suburbs had some of Cape Town's highest property prices, with some large detached homes selling for as much as around R80 million. The region is among the most popular in South Africa for real estate, both with local and international buyers.
Cape Town's Southern Suburbs lie to the southeast of the slopes of Table Mountain within rich valleys and vast plains reaching from just south of the Table Bay industrial neighborhoods in the north to the False Bay coastal suburbs and the Cape Peninsula cliffs to the south, and are crossed north-south by the M3 and M5 freeways.
The Southern Suburbs had a population during the 2011 census of 232,612 people. Taking a total area of 104.81 km² into account, the region's population density was approximately 2,219 people per km².
In the same census, there were 74,103 households in the Southern Suburbs, with an average household size of 3.13 people.
