The oldest suburb in Stellenbosch is Mostertsdrift. It is located within the historical centre of the town within a protected valley on the banks of the Eerste River. Property for sale here is often for the elite; however, the suburb is very beautiful due to the oak tree-lined streets. For students, the Welgevonden Residential Estate provides a wide range of cost-effective accommodation and is located just outside of the university.
