The average asking rent in Gardens is R20 000 a month (Nov 2026), up 3.1% since November 2025. Half of the 78 live listings ask between R16 088 and R27 188; a typical 1-bed is R16 000 and a 2-bed R25 450. That is R2 500 above the Cape Town median. Homes take about 20 days to let, and 1 in 5 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.
