In Brackenfell we have the Protea Hoogte and Ruwari suburbs. On the hill, overlooking the peninsula. Wonder view of the Mountain. And there is a field, about 100sqr meters. Jip. Low cost apartments is going up.
The people protested and had online lobbies about it. Not enough exits form the area to the high ways. The exiting road and water structures. of course the view and decline in property is also noted. And all was ignored and a low cost cheap block of apartments will be build in a very rich neighbourhood. There are other places, why choose there?
So , quite soon, where you had an unobstructed view of the mountain at sunset you will look into a block of cheap flats. with no parking so putload of cars in the road, which is small allready. And all the goodies you get with these kind of apartments, as seen across Kraaifontein and parts of Brackenfell. house prices in that specific area is in freefall.
