8 of South Africa's fastest-growing new elite suburbs

If you live in Seapoint‚ Illovo or Parkhurst‚ you're staying in three of the new elite suburbs in South Africa.

Property in the country's fastest-growing elite suburbs cost between R8‚000 and R30‚000 per square metre‚ almost three times lower than that in the country's most exclusive neighbourhoods.

Seapoint & Three Anchor Bay: R30‚000

Illovo: R17‚000

Parkhurst: R12‚000

Noordhoek: R11‚000
