The average asking rent across Eastern Suburbs's 208 suburbs is R13 000 a month (Nov 2026), up 2.8% since November 2025. The cheapest suburb with 10 or more listings is Glenlilly at R6 500; the most expensive is Mountainside at R25 000. Half of the 1 432 live listings ask between R9 700 and R17 825; a typical 1-bed is R8 570 and a 2-bed R11 168. That is R3 000 below the Western Cape median. Homes take about 17 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.
