The average asking rent across Cape Town City Bowl's 15 suburbs is R17 895 a month (Nov 2026), up 3.6% since November 2025. The cheapest suburb with 10 or more listings is Salt River at R12 748; the most expensive is De Waterkant at R30 000. Half of the 810 live listings ask between R13 500 and R25 000; a typical 1-bed is R16 305 and a 2-bed R24 269. That is R1 895 above the Western Cape median. Homes take about 28 days to let, and 1 in 4 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.
