How is life like in South Africa?
How is life like in South Africa?
I am thinking about moving to a major city in SA. What is the highest and lowest home prices (in USD), how are the schools, how are the schools (public and private, and do students get accepted into American Universities? I want information on a bunch of cities like Capetown, and Johannesburg and other large city you can think of.

DON'T MOVE TO JOHANNESBURG! THERE IS SO MUCH CRIME THERE! Although Cape Town is safer, with a nice beach scenery and TABLE MOUNTAIN!!

The country is awesome. I don't like Jhb. But cape town is awesome. Our schools are accredited to over seas universities and 4 of our universities are accredited worldwide if you wish to stay. Property price can range from anything to anything. In dollars from about $400-$7000000. But south africa's property is one of the cheapest in the world.

My grandparents and most of my family live in Pretoria. There is a security estate called Woodhill, and you can get a 4000sq foot house for like $700 000- 900 000 USD. Property in South Africa is not expensive, there are some other Security estates close by in the area and they are a bit less pricey. Homes outside security estates are generally $200 000 USD, and for a big home, maybe $400 000. Capetown is very nice, especially table mountain, i don't know the price of housing there though. Don't move to Johannesburg, it is busy and not very safe. In Pretoria, there are plenty of malls and grocery stores. My cousins go to a private school, and they say that it is nice. The high schools are also decent. Pretoria has a University, and it is pretty decent. I don't know if students get accepted into American Universities. If you would like a cheap place to live, there are many small houses and apartments available for about$150 000-$200 000USD. Food is not expensive, neither are restaurants, clothing, and other necessities. Electronics are expensive though. Hope that this helps you.
