About Bellville
About 25 kilometres east of Cape Town's centre, toward Stellenbosch in the Tygerberg highlands, sits Bellville, which is part of the Cape Peninsula urban region. The city offers breath-taking views of the Stellenbosch Mountains, Kogelberg Range, and Winelands.

Not only is Bellville a sought-after residential area, industrial and commercial property is also in high demand. The industrial and commercial zones of Bellville have hosted numerous notable businesses and are still the first choice for influential business people on a national and international scale.

Bellville's advantageous location in the Western Cape makes it possible for pricing to be significantly lower than that of homes in the Cape Town districts.
The Elsies River runs through Bellville, with a park in the river's valley. Bricks, tiles, fertilizers, and paper and food goods are all produced in Bellville South. The main railway line connecting Cape Town and Johannesburg runs through Bellville, also home to the largest train marshalling yard in the Cape Province.
