Rent estimates by home size
A single suburb rent number can mislead. Use bedroom-level estimates when comparing what your household can actually afford.
Decision breakdown
The latest official local census snapshot is 2022 precinct-level data, while the 2011 suburb PDF remains the named suburb profile. Use both the current area profile and market sources before making a transaction decision.

What to check before viewing homes in Delft
Use these checks before you spend time on viewings. They help you avoid homes that look good online but do not fit your daily life, budget, or move timing.
Budget fit
Compare asking rent or bond costs against the R 16 170 rent midpoint estimate and your transport costs.
Daily routine
Test the commute, school run, shopping trips, and evening/weekend travel from the exact street, not only the suburb name.
Viewing questions
Ask about fibre, load-shedding area, parking, noise, lease terms, deposits, pet rules, and what is included in the monthly cost.
Census context
Current area-level census data uses the latest official City of Cape Town precinct profile where available. The 2011 suburb profile remains the named suburb source for comparison.

Transport notes
- Useful for N1 and northern-corridor routines, but still check route-by-route public transport before selling car-free living.
- The northern suburbs are best treated as a road and school-network decision first.
Safety notes
- No unsupported safety score is published here. Use official SAPS or precinct-level context and local review before drawing conclusions.
