Harfield Village is the Southern Suburbs’ most characterful pocket — a tight grid of brightly painted Victorian semi-detached cottages between Claremont and Kenilworth, with a lively café and restaurant strip on 2nd Avenue. It is walkable, social and consistently in demand with young professionals and small families. The Property Bureau manages a carefully selected portfolio of Harfield rentals with a boutique, owner-operated standard of service.

Getting Around and Local Amenities
Harfield is built for walking. The 2nd Avenue strip of cafés, restaurants and bars sits in the middle of the village, Harfield station is on the Metrorail Southern Line, and Claremont’s Cavendish belt and the M5 are minutes away. The village’s active community and street life are a large part of why tenants stay.

Harfield Village Rentals — FAQs
How much does it cost to rent in Harfield Village?
Most Harfield Village rentals fall between R 12,500 and R 27,000 per month, depending on the size of the property, its position, security, and finish. Smaller cottages sit at the lower end; fully renovated homes at the upper end.
How quickly do Harfield Village properties let?
Well-priced, well-presented homes typically let within two to six weeks. The main variable is price — overpricing is the most common cause of a long vacancy.
What makes Harfield Village different from the rest of the Southern Suburbs?
Its scale and character – a compact grid of restored Victorian cottages with a walkable cafe strip on 2nd Avenue. It draws tenants who want village life and walkability rather than a larger home on a bigger plot.
Do you manage properties as well as let them?
Yes. We offer tenant placement on its own (7.5%) or full property management — rent collection via PayProp, inspections, maintenance, and monthly statements — for a flat 11.5%, fully inclusive, no extras.
