Living in Avondale – Area & Property Guide
A busy, central suburb with strong shops, flats and quick access to town.
Area overview
Avondale is one of Harare's most convenient suburbs, combining older family homes with a large stock of flats, cottages and townhouses. Avondale Shopping Centre, the long-running flea market, restaurants, banks and medical practices make it genuinely walkable, and the University of Zimbabwe is a few minutes north. That mix keeps rental demand high year-round, particularly for one and two-bedroom flats, while family houses on the older stands attract both buyers and redevelopment interest.
