Claremont is a suburb of Cape Town situated in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Claremont is situated six miles south of Cape Town city centre. It is an important commercial and residential area, which is currently experiencing significant growth and development offering great property investment opportunity in Claremont.

After the Dutch established an outpost on the shore of Table Bay, they established a number of farms south of the outpost in 1657. The most southerly of those original farms, named Louwvliet and Questenburg, are today covered by Claremont and the adjoining suburb of Newlands. After the colony had been taken over by the British in 1814, the area gradually changed its character. British settlers and officials bought the farms, re-named some of them, and turned them into country residences. Weltevreden was subdivided in 1822, and a portion of it was renamed Claremont, a name later applied to the whole area.

Claremont grew during the 1840s and 1850s, and the opening of a railway from Cape Town to Wynberg in 1864 spurred subdivision and development. In 1882, a village management board was formed, and in 1886 it was replaced by the Municipality of Claremont. Claremont remained predominantly residential until the early 1970s, when commercial development began. A major shopping mall, named Cavendish Square, was opened in 1973, and other shopping centres followed. There was a further building boom in the 1990s, and Claremont is currently experiencing another, which includes the construction of three large apartment blocks, an hotel, two office blocks, the re-modeling of three other commercial buildings, and the construction of a transport interchange and a bypass road.

Claremont Main Road is regarded by many as the clubbing capital of the Cape Town Southern Suburbs. The road is dotted with clubs and bars and is a lively hotspot almost every night of the week. Bars on Clarement Main Road include Lizzards, Stones and Caps. Clubs on this road include Sobhar, Tin Roof, Town, Springboks and Tiger Tiger.
