In 1865, 19 ships in ran aground in Table Bay Cape Town. The
commander of one of those ships was Captain Parow. From this it is evident that

northern suburbs of Cape Town.

number of its own suburbs of which one is Parow Valley.

in the marketplace.

and the number of apartments to choose from makes it perfect for first-time
buyers as it is close to amenities like schools, malls, commercial and
industrial hubs.
Being such an old established suburb means the homes date
back to an era where sturdy construction was the order of the day and with the
signature pressed ceilings and hardwood flooring and bay windows, which offer
loads of potential for investors in the renovation end of things.

Industrial, Elsies River Industrial and Sacks Circle. Within easy access are
