Apartment for sale at 423 Main Rd, The Paragon
Tenanted & Furnished 1 Bed, Backup Power+Aircon
Live steps from the UCT medical precinct, cafés and Lower Main Road, with instant rental income and a rooftop pool plus braai deck showcasing city and mountain views.

RENTAL ATTRACTION:
You are directly opposite the UCT medical precinct. Netcare UCT Private Academic Hospital, Groote Schuur Hospital and the UCT Faculty of Health Sciences are all within a few hundred metres, with upper campus a short shuttle ride away. Observatory station, St Peter's Square Shopping Centre, Norwood Mall and the cafés, restaurants and vintage shops of Lower Main Road are on the doorstep, and the M3, M5 and N2 put the CBD, Kirstenbosch and the airport within easy reach.
That geography is the whole investment case. Registrars, medical staff, postgraduate students and remote-working professionals need to be within walking distance of those hospitals, which is why Observatory holds some of the lowest residential vacancy rates in Cape Town.
*Special levy of R805.83 in place from August to October 26.
