Cape Town isn’t just one of the most beautiful cities in the world; it’s also one of the most rideable. From bucket-list road routes to technical mountain bike trails, the city offers year-round riding that few global destinations can match.

It’s also home to two of the largest cycle races on the planet, the iconic Cape Town Cycle Tour and the gruelling Absa Cape Epic. It’s a reminder that here, cycling isn’t a niche pursuit, but part of the city’s DNA.

For riders, that creates a rare opportunity: the chance to live somewhere where world-class riding isn’t a weekend plan, it’s part of everyday life.

A City That Works on Two Wheels

In Cape Town, the best rides don’t require a car rack or a long drive. From the CBD and surrounding neighbourhoods, you can roll straight from your front door into some of the country’s most scenic routes, whether that’s a sunrise spin along the Atlantic Seaboard or a climb into the trails of Table Mountain National Park.

That ease of access is part of a broader shift towards more walkable (rideable) urban living, where daily convenience and outdoor lifestyle go hand in hand.

Earn Rental Income While You Ride

It’s also reflected in the city’s property market, which continues to grow nationally, with strong demand in well-located, lifestyle-driven neighbourhoods, outperforming all other provinces in terms of price, growth and tenant reliability.

• In the year ending February 2025, premium rental portfolios in the city averaged R22 356 per month, nearly double the national average of R9 218
• The Western Cape continues to record the shortest time-on-market nationally, with homes in high-demand areas like the City Bowl often selling in 45 days or less.
• Prime neighbourhoods in Cape Town are seeing annual capital appreciation exceeding 8%.

Blok’s ELEVENONB development, located in Cape Town’s West City CBD, is designed around the idea of connected, inner-city living. It places cafés, culture, and riding routes within easy reach, making it an attractive option for both residents and tenants.

With the development already 95% sold out, it reflects the growing demand for property that supports an active, urban lifestyle.

Designed for a Ride-Ready Lifestyle

ELEVENONB’s two-bedroom apartments are built with both comfort and practicality in mind, offering a lock-up-and-go base that suits a lifestyle centred around time outdoors.

Residents are within walking distance of Kloof Street, Bree Street and Long Street, while still being just minutes from open roads and trail networks.

Designed to foster connection and to encourage a walkable, 15-minute city lifestyle, ELEVENONB is located within walking distance of Kloof Street, Bree Street and Long Street, offering sought-after eateries, bars, art galleries, museums and historical monuments.

The development’s ground floor spaces will further enhance connectivity within the neighbourhood, allowing for a lived experience that extends beyond the front door. A beautiful historic lane – Orphan Lane – and a heritage building – will both be restored to their former glory and incorporated into the building’s design.

Epic mountain biking routes lie just beyond the city in Table Mountain National Park, giving riders quick access to everything from flowing singletrack to demanding climbs.

ELEVENONB Includes:

• Views of Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, Signal Hill and the city
• High-specification, space-saving joinery
• Air-conditioning in all apartments
• Concierge and building management services
• Co-working spaces
• Backup power for shared areas
• 24-hour on-site security

A Smart Base for Life on Two Wheels

For cyclists, where you live shapes how often you ride. And living in Cape Town makes it easier to turn everyday moments into time on the bike.

Whether it’s early morning training rides, post-work spins, or weekend adventures, having world-class routes on your doorstep changes the rhythm of daily life.

ELEVENONB offers exactly that: a well-located base in a city where riding is always within reach, and where investing in property aligns naturally with investing in lifestyle.
