South Africa's most expensive cities

Priscilla

Hello everyone,

What are the most expensive cities to live in South Africa? What are the costs of things such as rent, utilities, weekly groceries, dining out, etc.?

What is the lifestyle like in these cities, for expats and locals?

What are the different neighbourhoods like? Are there more affordable areas?

Do you have any experience living in any of South Africa's most expensive cities? What was it like?

Which cities in South Africa would you recommend? Are there any that offer particularly good value for money when it comes to cost of living?

Thank you for sharing your experience.
