View submission: Parklands Area
Parklands is like most other suburbs - there are some dodgy parts, but mostly it's fine. Nowhere in SA is completely crime free.
There are loads of gyms to choose. Table View library is the nearest one, but there's also Bloubergstrand, Milnerton and Dunoon libraries. There are many shopping centres and malls, and the parking is usually free for at least the first hour. You'll find all shops here. The beach is only 5k away - lots of restaurants in that area (Bloubergstrand, Big Bay).
MyCiti is very useful, but don't expect it to be like a first world country's public transport system. Uber is fine to use, but may become costly if you have to travel far.
It's relatively safe to walk around Parklands in daytime - just be careful like you should be anywhere else.
Century City is very safe because of CCTV, but it's about 15 - 20 minutes away from Parklands by car - hardly on the outer edge of Parklands. You have several neighbourhoods in between, and will definitely not be able to walk between Parklands and CC. But you can take the MyCiti there.
There's nothing here!
