The average asking rent across Cape Flats's 43 suburbs is R9 000 a month (Nov 2026), up 6.3% since November 2025. The cheapest suburb with 10 or more listings is Belhar at R6 000; the most expensive is Athlone at R14 900. Half of the 159 live listings ask between R6 500 and R11 950; a typical 2-bed is R8 842 and a 3-bed R12 000. That is R7 000 below the Western Cape median. Homes take about 19 days to let, and 1 in 7 has cut its asking price since listing.
Like-for-like: the line moves only when asking rents move, not when the mix of what is listed changes.
