Pathetic communication
We have repeatedly asked/requested garden cities to cut their share of property on settlers drive, edgemead with them not even acknowledging emails. Their ******* blows into properties in Albany road.

Health Threat at West Coast Village
The manner in which Garden Cities ensures compliance with the Smoking of Tobacco products is non-existent. You are making it clear to all users of West Coast Village that South Africa is a lawless country. There I was buying water at Hydrate Water and found myself to be overpowered by cigarette smoke coming from a guy sitting right outside of the Five Star Mediterranean Barber Shop smoking. When asked to leave and why he was not complying with the no smoking signage it was more important for him to highlight that the cigarette is almost finished than to comply. This after being informed that I have Asthma. I'm sure the staff working at Hydrate Water are also suffering but they might be to afraid to complain. Please note the Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999 requires both the Property Owner, Intermediary, and Tenant to comply with RSA Legislation.

Blatant disregard for residents rights and law - poor quality work.
Garden cities used to deliver better quality and service. What started out as a noble and honest idea has in my opinion turned into something ugly and cheap. First of all, the quality of workmanship is laughable. It is cheap. From electrical to plumbing and paint work. They don't even treat the wood finnishings (roof, doors, decor) on the outside of the houses. It ends up peeling, rotting and looking CHEAP and TATTY. Then they want to charge what homes that are not "low cost housing" go for. Upon contacting them to do repairs, you can expect RESISTANCE to say the least. No accountability. Only with persistence will you get them to come out and do what their contract with the home owners say they must. And it is not one or two homes - every person i have met. Some people have problems with all of the above. It seems that it is going down the drain - and in my opinion all about the money for them. They now have a business operating on their premises that is breaking the law. BLATANTLY. And it is crystal clear from their responses that they do NOT CARE. How they are getting away with this is beyond me. Fives Futbol in Pinehurst is breaking the law. It is illegal for a business that makes the amount of noise they do to be operating in a residential area. On top of that they are open until 22:00 during the week. This is illegal as well as one can only make a noise till that time on a WEEKEND. This means that the residents have to listen to shouting, screaming, whistle blowing and thumps of the ball being kicked every night of the week. This means that the residents have to keep their windows and doors closed. Never mind coming home after a busy day and expecting quiet such as the law provides. Shouting and screaming. Every night until that time. Sometimes we still hear them despite the television being on. Residents have complained but nothing gets done. This is AGAINST THE LAW. IT IS ILLEGAL. It is violating HUMAN RIGHTS. Furthermore, the players shout vulgar language, they do oil changes and mess in the parking lot. They get changed in the parking lot. They litter and they rev their cars. FURTHERMORE this club has been trying to get a liquor licence so that it can hold functions and entertain these players. MORE noise. Something needs to be done about it. It is very sad to me because like i said, it started out as a noble, clever and honest development plan. It is illegal. It is wrong.

Poor quality work and service by Garden Cities!
I would like to post a complaint against Garden Cities in Cape Town. I bought a property in Pinehurst about 2 years ago. Garden Cities built this house. My home is just over 6 years old and the tiles in my living room just popped out a couple of months ago. I tried to claim from the insurance, which indicated that they will not honor my claim due to defective workmanship. I had another building contractor inspect the damage and he informed me that he has never seen such poor quality work. On questioning the developer about the quality of their work I got a bad attitude from them, they were being dishonest and didn't even have the professional courtesy to send someone to inspect the damage. I am so disappointed because I bought this place thinking that Garden Cities deliver good quality properties. I was very wrong - Please be aware if you are thinking of purchasing a property from these guys. They build for quantity, not quality. You will end up paying much more when you have to redo your home's flooring in a couple of years.

Bad choice of developer- Capedev homes
<p>To appoint a developer with promises of honesty, quality and great spaces, is utter nonsense. As a resident of Victoria park,Somerset west this is a bunch of lies being sold to the public. I don't understand how a building inspector or NHBRC can approve an unfinished house or a house that has not been build according to approved plans. I would not recommend the developer Capedev homes as a honest, quality nor reliable company.</p>
