Noordhoek, once perceived as being "too far away" from the city centre, is being rediscovered by many home buyers as a little piece of paradise in an easily accessible location, says Dale de Ridder, the area specialist for Dogon/Group Properties.
De Ridder says with few large expanses of land now left for subdivision and development - only two of the original family-owned farms that could potentially be developed still remain - houses in the area are in greater demand than ever before, and properties have recently been sold at the asking price within a day of coming onto the market.
