Harfield Village, also known as Lower Claremont, is a suburb in the south of Cape Town. Its neighbouring suburbs are Kenilworth and Claremont, Cape Town. Prior to the apartheid era Group Areas Act the area was home to around 19,000 Coloured residents. All of whom were evicted or forced to sell their property when the area was declared a whites only area in 1969. Harfield Village probably got its name from the original Harfield Cottage, built here by Thomas Mathew, one of the initial residents of Claremont.

  • Harfield Village, also known as Lower Claremont, is a suburb in the south of Cape Town. Its neighbouring suburbs are Kenilworth and Claremont, Cape Town. Prior to the apartheid era Group Areas Act the area was home to around 19,000 Coloured residents. All of whom were evicted or forced to sell their property when the area was declared a whites only area in 1969. Victorian and Edwardian cottages decorate the tree-lined, numbered avenues, and English sounding streets with names like Surrey, Norfolk and Suffolk. Many of these are semi-detached and make perfect starter homes, and there is a real village feel to the little area that manages to hide itself obscurely on the other side of the railway line and Main Road from Arderne Gardens. It fits snugly up against Harfield station on the major commuter train into Cape Town. Harfield Village probably got its name from the original Harfield Cottage, built here by Thomas Mathew, one of the initial residents of Claremont. (en)
