History and Heritage
Rooted in a rich history, Higgovale’s legacy dates back to the 19th century. Named after the Higgo family, who owned the land and quarry, the granite from this area helped build iconic Cape Town landmarks such as Rhodes Memorial. Today, Higgovale retains its historical charm while embodying the exclusivity that comes with one of Cape Town’s wealthiest residential zones, with just over 200 luxurious homes.
