Leapfrog Properties offers an excellent range of Milnerton property options to suit all tastes, from young families to singles seeking an ideal area that is close to the Cape Town CBD.

The Cape Town suburb of Milnerton was named after the newly arrived High Commissioner for South Africa, Sir Alfred Milner who proclaimed the area as a township in 1897. The then recently formed Milnerton Estate Company bought the Paarden Eiland and Jan Biesieskraal Farms, and this fledgling Milnerton property company stated its intention to build a township and to build a railway line from Cape Town. The dance hall pavilion was built in the early 1900s. Now it is the Milnerton Town Hall, and as a listed building, it is a popular venue for weddings and other celebratory occasions. Up until recently, Milnerton was very well known for its Race Track, which was opened in 1908 and eventually closed only around 2000. The track and stables still exist as a training venue for Cape racehorses, and is where the Royal Ascot Development is now situated. 

Modern Milnerton is the first residential suburb, just nine kilometers from Cape Town CBD on the West Coast of Table Bay. As the gateway to the West Coast of the Western Cape, Milnerton offers one of the best suburbs to purchase property in South Africa. The town is picturesque and neat, a well-established tree-lined suburb with close proximity to the beach and its beautiful lagoon. Boasting a world class 18-hole Links Golf Estate as well as two lawn bowls clubs, rowing, surf life saving club, tennis, rugby, squash and cricket clubs, the avid sportsman need go no further. Due to its proximity to the City Centre and major road networks, property in Milnerton is very popular with city commuters. The new Rapid Bus Transport system runs through the heart of Milnerton with four central stations and gets the commuter into the City Centre in less than 20 minutes. The nearby industrial and commercial centers of Paarden Eiland, Montague Gardens, Killarney Gardens and Century City make Milnerton an attractive ‘work close to home’ option for many residents.

Milnerton is varied and can offer potential home hunters a host of options from magnificent beach front apartments to Woodbridge Island living, golf course security estates on Sunset Links to more traditional suburban homes, most of which are on stands of close to 1000m². New extensions to the suburb of Milnerton include the pristine security cluster developments of Royal Ascot and Century City. For first time buyers and home hunters in the lower price brackets, the nearby areas of Rugby and Brooklyn offer affordability only ten minutes from Central Cape Town. At the heart of Milnerton stands its active lighthouse which is a beacon to seafarers and an icon for the suburb alike. Below the lighthouse is the Milnerton Surf Life Saving Club whose members oversee the safe bathing at Milnerton Beach.

The Annual Milnerton Carnival takes place at the lagoon site. Theatrically the ‘Milnerton Players’ amateur dramatic society is held in high regard for their popular productions held at the Milnerton Playhouse, which backs onto the ultra modern and spacious Milnerton Library. Restaurants abound in Milnerton and with the popular Century City’s Canal Walk Shopping Centre situated nearby; property owners have one of the largest shopping centres in Africa on their doorstep. The popular adventure park Ratanga Junction with its hair-raising rides and amusements is visited by people all over the Western Cape. With Centre Point, The Paddocks and Sable Square shopping centres, Milnerton residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping options.
