Thanks for watching guys, Kindly support me by subscribing to the Channel and check out the Travel Zimbabwe video I made 👉 th-cam.com/video/7auHp2bAuJA/w-d-xo.html
I was showing a friend this video, and he said those neighborhoods are predominantly, white, i dont care about that, but then he said, and racist. Is that true? Is there still the residue of aparthide?
I love that you now know some Shona terms 🥰🥰 i.e Kumba haa it shows it's really home to you xoo.. Big shout out to You Tigress for putting Zim on the map.. lm so proud of Zim coz of your videos
Those Jacaranda trees make Zim look stunning,I like how our culture values importance of trees and building around them instead of destroying them. Our love for trees comes from the indigenous San people who valued trees.Proud to be a Zimbabwean,let’s tackle corruption and Zim can become the crown jewel of Africa again,minus sanctions. Southern Africa is going through an upsurge in growth as Mozambique is now experiencing economic growth,Zambia is also going through a boom,as well as Namibia,so Zim is the final one to take off.
It was the white colonialists that grew the jacarandas in what was then the white neighborhoods. You won’t find Jacarandas in Mbare or Zengeza, All these neighborhoods Borrowdale, Borrowdale Brooks, Hogati Hills, Graystone Park etc were designed and built by the whites for the whites. That’s why as soon as a black makes money they don’t build in the neighborhood they grew up. They move to the suburbs the whites built for themselves. What you’re looking at as a country being built on the colonial framework where the rich are very rich and the poor very poor. The more things change the more they stay the same. Only the top 1 percent of Zimbabweans live there. Not pioneers of great industry but the politically well connected. The rest? Well…
@@chrisv.noire.6388 Wrong you bigot,Jacaranda trees are found in other parts of Zimbabwe,if you go to Mutare you will find them in black neighbourhood,in fact Mutare is black city anyways so it’s blacks who live in those nice places with Jacaranda trees. We have always planted trees long before Europeans came,if you go to Great Zimbabwe you see building around trees ,same in villages. So get over your WS crap and watch some whitey wash colonial videos.
Zambia is worse than Zimbabwe in terms of infrastructure and the people. Namibia has its advantage due to its unique landscape by the atlantic ocean on one side and nambia desert on the other side, as well its few population. But people have different tastes and likes. For me, I would rather choose Zimbabwe.
I just love the green space.. Love the fact the the zoning limits how tall the buildings can be, no taller than 3 storeys plus the tree's have to be taller than your building structure! Definitely Zimbabwe is going to be one my destinations in Africa to explore for my real estate portfolio! Well done Zim 👌
Yes, Zimbabwe is super strict with zoning, planning permission and building standards. Not just in the top flight areas, across the board. They even do material inspection to ensure it meets the building code standards. The upside is that even if you're buying rather than building your own, you know you're getting a solid structure.
Purple Jacaranda Trees everywhere..it used to be a Harare City Council policy that every resident should plant Jacaranda tree on their property for the aesthetics of the area....u get fined by council if u are seen cutting down trees without permission from the forestry Commission...u are allowed to cut trees if they are old and pose a danger to people...its still a policy to plant trees on your property (not necessarily Jacaranda).
Nigerian real estate developers has a lot to learn from other African countries, as a Nigerian I am very ashamed of the houses we call mansions in Nigeria
Nigerian dwellings, exteriors are beautiful. But they don't go deep into technical details like acoustics and interior flow of traffic. But we all learn from each other. I love Nigerians, my barber in school was a fellow schoolmate from Abuja
I lived for 30 years in and around Harare, growing up there and of course recognise some of the names mentioned, but my goodness, like everywhere, how things have changed. I can well remember occasionally riding my beloved horse "Mr.B" through the "Borrowdale Brook" area, when it was mostly just "smallholdings" (semi-agricultural/market-garden operations) with normal sized homes on larger acreage, usually about 5 acres upwards, or open undeveloped land..
beautiful homes...however if you are paying $1mill for a home, then you shouldnt be driving on dirt roads...the basic ammenties should factor into the price of the homes...i would love to know how reliable the electricity and high speed internet is there. i see lots of potential there but for those prices the infrastructure should be up to par
Crisp production as always brother Steve,thank you for showcasing brilliant footage of my country Zimbabwe,so much negative content is hammered into our heads about Zim,yet it has some of the most natural beauty that money can't buy. In Zim we love trees,hence when we build we always build around trees and never destroy them,we love our Jacaranda trees and they give some beautiful scenery.There is a road in Harare going to Mt Pleasant that is completely covered with Jaracaranda trees,so when driving you feel as if you are driving through a covered tunnel,the views are so stunning in that road. Thanks for visiting Zimbabwe,looking forward to your second visit,we love our Bantu brother Steven.
Yes most Zimbabweans don't know about these areas because only a couple of thousand can stay there and can afford to rent or buy houses there... Most Zimbabweans don't even know about these areas... Even teachers and most doctors can't even afford to rent there
@@peshkay6583 I grew up knowing family members and friends who lived In those areas. Most of the people are hard workers or had good jobs which paid well when things were still good and acquired those properties. they have nothing to do with politics..I'm not rich like them but I always try to see the good in people instead of painting everyone with the same brush..Some people in this difficult economy and hostile environment are working very hard until they make it. You are busy pointing fingers at others..what are you doing to improve yourself.. Remember in this life some people are just naturally blessed..zvinhu zvavo zvinoendeka..and some people nomatter how hard they work they are just stagnant.
Point of correction.Highlands area part of it is now a commercial zone and the minimum is 2 floors .There is what they call Enterprise Corridor and if your property is within its boundaries,new properties have to be double storey and upwards.Architect's view.

Where did the creator of this video gets the 1% from? Majority of Zimbabweans are suffering and they are suffocating the natives in the neighbouring countries
Thank you for showing off our beautiful country to the world - loved the video ....side note you have also shown some of us who are Zimbabweans living in Zimbabwe but have never had the privilege to go to places like borrowdale brook since it's a gated community...lol
Why is Zimbabwe so misrepresented? These top five richest neighborhoods look nicer than most of our top five in Nairobi (personal opinion). The city of Harare too looks the same or even better than Nairobi CBD. Again, looks can be deceiving but my perception is that Harare is one nice city.
Because Zimbabwe is home to the most precious minerals like Chrome,Platinum,Diamonds,Gold,Uranium,Lithium and the West wants control of those resources,so they sabotage the country with sanctions coz they want to install a puppet Regime in power so they can gain hegemony on that mineral wealth.I have not even mentioned the untapped oil and gas reserves which are in huge numbers.
Zimbabwe collapsed. Kenya didn't. Zimbabwe has a greater wealth and poverty deficits, GINI coefficient, and it's fallen behind from the 90s when it was one of the largest economies. And if you want to know the wealth of a nation, look at it's poorest.
I am Zimbabwean and I also get shocked about what people believe about my country. This country is beautiful. What people need to understand is that Zim is a largely informal economy so what is reported on the news is different from what is on the ground.
I think in Zimbabwe we tend to have houses on larger plot sizes compared to a lot of other African countries I have been too. This is probably due to a range of factors such as that we like to stay at home a lot more, or maybe we just have larger division of residential land and etc, as compared to a country like South Africa were I've have noticed houses tend to be build on smaller land sizes. Thank you for making these videos about Zimbabwe, they are very hard to come by, especially if it is in Zimbabwe. God bless.
Well you can't compare Zimbabwe to Ghana and Nigeria. Zimbabwe had a large white population and a lot of influence. Also Zimbabwe is a very small country
@@Gunners-zf7zg the influence you have in Ghana and Nigeria is totally different from Zimbabwe. Look at how houses look in Ghana and Nigeria . They are these ugly concrete things with pillars . In Zimbabwe it looks more like England or America. That's where the white influence comes in . The Architecture we have in Zimbabwe is nothing to do with African influence it's all western . That's why I mentioned the white population as they contributed to town planning etc. In Ghana and Nigeria the town planning is poor hence it's not that nice even in billionaire areas . I'm ZIMBABWEAN and an Architect in the UK so I know what I'm talking about .
I hope these people are using their finances to also help the people that are finding it hard to live day by day My goal is to work hard here in London and go back to make a positive change for my homeland
Zim is like that because in Zimbabwe it is prohibited 🚫 to cut trees even your own tree is a punishable offence ....Also every household must have at least 1 fruit tree and either indigenous or exotic tree🌳
Wow! Steven, Zimbabwe is underrated. The media really have not shown us one tenth of what we are seeing here. Thanks for sharing with us the wonders in Zimbabwe.
Thanks. To be honest, I have lived in Harare for quite some time but have never been to some of these areas. We only hear they are nice, so it's nice that we are looking at them here. Especially Borrowdale Brooke and Shawasha Hills. Never Benn there
Thanks for videos as beautiful as this, I always say Africa's narrative is in the hands of Africans. It's our duty to tell our stories and show the world our Africa. Big up to you Mr. Ndukwu, Thakaso from SA
I am wowed to a wow Steven you did a great job of sharing Zimbabwe to the world..Keep on keeping on son enough respect and much love...❤️❤️❤️🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼👍💯👌✌️🙏
The gap between the rich and the poor keeps widening. Harare is a land of paradox it's like people living in two different countries. It never was like that in the 80s and 90s. Something is not right.
That is because there is no middle class anymore. It's either you are rich or poor. And townships need to be developed as well not only in the suburbs.
Having bought an apartment at Millenium Heights, am super excited with this development, emphasizing on live,work,shop and play all in one, it's turning out to be value for money. This Millenium Park which is overall name of the whole area covering Pokugara houses and Millenium Heights apartments, will indeed be a game changer. The way they proposing to protect the wetlands by adding more greenery to it will turn this area into a paradise. Wish I can keep buying into more and more of their developments.
Will it not be the case though that the apartments look great as built and designed, but then people will start fixing burglar bars all over the windows and doors? When I saw the lovely garden flats in Hillside that I lived in they looked terrible compared to when new, with barbed wire and burglar bars covering the windows. Once the bars start rusting it looks terrible.
It's going to turn into a dump. I don't know why I'm saying this. Perhaps it's my ancestors. It's not going to be well maintained. Everything being promised is not going to happen. Like, the white guy is going to go to prison or something and his company will crumble. The people who bought there do not have enough money to live there and maintain a lifestyle. It's going to turn into a ghetto. It's what we see.
All the places you have shown are beautiful, especially that they are covered with greenery. But the one that appeal to me is the West Prop development. I like it because the development will cator for the working class. Some people like me can't afford the big mansions however I want to live in a morden nice area, of which West Prop will offer that once it is completed.
your content is dope, sometimes as a people we can be stuck in our own little bubble , I appreciate you for showcasing Africa to the world and to us Africans.
it is true the young should lead Africa now. Our African youngsters are rebranding and educating us more and more about Africa and we are loving it. Well done
Sadly even here in S.A we are victim to bad press. We know Africa is not what the oppressors show on tv but when you think Zim as a South African, poverty is the 1st thing that enters your mind. Thanks for this. Very eye opening. Continue to educate bro. I hope your channel gains momentum and grows insanely.
@@chileshemulenga8790 Go & ask that question to the charities that are busy feeding hungry people. Not long ago, UN was appealing for funds to send to Zimbabwe.
@@Stirlingshirecastleeven in Uk there are charities and street people but the press never shows that side.most media always want to show negative signs on a country, why do they want to aid an african country first. Charity begins at home.
Zimbabwean here! Thank you for doing this phenomenal video and for your openmindedness about Zim! Fantastic channel! I’m going to check out your other videos and wish your channel all the best regards growth and success!
Being in the real eatste industry, this is very good informative shoot. Great to showcase how great values have held in key locations and addresses in and around Africa. Well done for the video.
It's absolutely crazy to me to say that Zimbabwe is not a poor country because there are some millionnaires or billionaires across a few neighborhoods in Harare. The inequalities are staggering and the quality of life of the overwhelming majority of Zimbabweans is very poor due to abysmal leadership.
Yeah. But they should understand whether things are good or not people are always migrating and immigrating 😂 it always comes down personal. I see ppl in the US be migrating to South America talking bout damn the US. 😂 And even in the US migration from city to city state to state is through the roof. And it's the same with Europeans. I got so many European friends be moving to different parts of the world. I'm like what up bro? They like nah homie Italy sucks. Fuck Italy. Germany is a shit hole I'm goin to Mexico with my girl. Or Britain this that. My whole family moving to Uganda or the US 🤦🏾♂️😂
Rhodesia was sanctioned for decades. Stop falling for the propaganda of ZPF. Why didn't we just export to the rest of Africa, Asia and LatAm when we were sanctioned by the West?
Welldone Stephen as one of the Zimbabwean family I want to say thank you so so much for the job welldone, as an African I want to you to know that we appreciate your good work
Jacaranda trees- their origins are South American….Zimbabwean and South African city avenues are lined with them , so beautiful when they are in full bloom.
Gosh my brother was allergic to jacaranda trees growing up beautiful though when they just line the streets. Miss my country. Even though are home is not in a crazy expensive area but we have a tennis court nd swimming pool. Zim is just naturally rich hence the west are obsessed with our country
Apart from the stunning landscape, Zimbabwe people is another treasure, in comparison with neigboring countries, Zimbabweans are more friendly, loving, benovolent, law-abiding. Foreigners feel more embraced and secure here.
Yes, it's in love with my son as a Zimbabwe myself. Our country is not poor at all, matter of fact, nowhere in Africa is truly poor, it's just the government, that is favoring itself over others.
Thanks for show casing Zimbabwe to the world Steve, I consider it is one of the most beautiful countries in Africa, it is a gem. The cities are well planned and there's kinda of like a hierarchy in the use of land whereby it is zoned into 3 different areas ie. the high density areas (low income earners), medium density areas (medium income earners) and finally the low density areas where the affluent people reside. Well done Steve keep up the good work. 🥰 👌👏👏
They committed a taboo "took their land back from the colonisers". The West had to make an extreme example for other African countries intending to reclaim their land.
Whites are the ones who speak ILL of zimbabwe . The Land issue did mess them up big time especially that they ( British/ Dutch) were so comfortable before 1980 . Bitterness is deep ,unfortunately for them the Land issue is irreversible . The European settlers that accepted change are still enjoying themselves (yes farming and other businesses ). Those who were stupid enough to resist change are parked in South Africa waiting for change .
Recently visited Zim was stunned ..I was only in Vic Falls but I promise if it was easy to settle there,that's where I would spend the rest of my life!The bad press is to keep us away from one another...Africa is not a continent....it is a country!
Thats a lie everyward in Harare has a low density surbub even in mbare , mabvuku , glenview , mufakose wards...etc The Only wards that are strictly lowdensity is Borrowdale, Highlands, Mt pleasant, Malbrough, Mt humpden and avondale. The rest of the wards from Greendale, Eastlea, Mufakose have potion of highdensity to medium density and low density surbubs. In these wards like glenora , mabvuku etc ....Its just that low density surbubs located where i just mentioned are small they go unnoticed thats it .
I've subscribed and clicked to the bell icon, Why? This video has touched my heart very much. I didn't know Zimbabwe looked like this before. Yes Borrowdale was No1, everyone in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 knows a lot abt It but.... GLEN LORNE WAS THE BEST FOR ME BECAUSE OF THE GREAT MOUNTAIN VIEWS AND HOUSES... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟5 stars for this video
Tell us in which country wud such beauty be Cheap ,, nowhere , The houses in these Harare suburbs wud cost u an arm and a leg in the UK , Germany, Italy, Ukraine, Sweden. Zimbabwe is fantastic !!
The actual richest neighbourhoods in harare: no1 umwinsidale under borrowdale ward the average price of land one is allowed to purchase is 1 hectar the starting price for left overs smaller than 1 hectar is 300 000 USD for just 1000m2 . no2 a specific Part of Glen Lorne under borrowdale ward where makandiwa belt his 3000 sqm mansion on 2 hectares of land 5 acres of land. Starting price for a house belt there 1 million USD no3 a specific place in south of malbrough Cheapest house 900 000 USD. Everywhere else is just upper middle class especially all the places mentioned in this video I know he mentioned Glen Lorne but it's most of Glen Lorne is just upper middle class.

@@lifesucks-z6k Yup. I live in California.The mansions look almost identical to the ones in Atherton and other rich areas
@@onlyscams @Mo Beats lives in some jungle somewhere. He hasn't got a clue what California looks like.
@@lifesucks-z6kstop hating just appreciate man it won't hurt believe me
Thanks. To be honest, I have lived in Harare for quite some time but have never been to some of these areas. We only hear they are nice, so it's nice that we are looking at them here. Especially Borrowdale Brooke and Shawasha Hills. Never Benn there
Zimbabwe is beautiful, thanks so much
Steve thank you for promoting Zimbabwe God bless you
Thanks for watching and sharing
Thanks for videos as beautiful as this, I always say Africa's narrative is in the hands of Africans. It's our duty to tell our stories and show the world our Africa. Big up to you Mr. Ndukwu, Thakaso from SA
I love the tree planting concept in this times of climate change we should emulate such culture thank you Stephen
Fantastic vid mate. Keep posting. Eastern Highlands next. Those are small stands...go East
I am wowed to a wow Steven you did a great job of sharing Zimbabwe to the world..Keep on keeping on son enough respect and much love...❤️❤️❤️🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼👍💯👌✌️🙏
The gap between the rich and the poor keeps widening. Harare is a land of paradox it's like people living in two different countries. It never was like that in the 80s and 90s. Something is not right.
I think people should just built beautiful houses wherever they are taking advantage of the decrease in prices
These areas are concentrated with entertainment for a reason so u cn do tht instead of farming your homestead
This is the only comment that made sence on TH-cam this year
That is because there is no middle class anymore. It's either you are rich or poor. And townships need to be developed as well not only in the suburbs.
Well said
Thanks Steven. Another visually packed episode on Zimbabwe. Interesting home sizes, architecture and yards.🇿🇼
Having bought an apartment at Millenium Heights, am super excited with this development, emphasizing on live,work,shop and play all in one, it's turning out to be value for money.
This Millenium Park which is overall name of the whole area covering Pokugara houses and Millenium Heights apartments, will indeed be a game changer.
The way they proposing to protect the wetlands by adding more greenery to it will turn this area into a paradise.
Wish I can keep buying into more and more of their developments.
Well done
Will it not be the case though that the apartments look great as built and designed, but then people will start fixing burglar bars all over the windows and doors? When I saw the lovely garden flats in Hillside that I lived in they looked terrible compared to when new, with barbed wire and burglar bars covering the windows. Once the bars start rusting it looks terrible.
It's going to turn into a dump. I don't know why I'm saying this. Perhaps it's my ancestors. It's not going to be well maintained. Everything being promised is not going to happen. Like, the white guy is going to go to prison or something and his company will crumble. The people who bought there do not have enough money to live there and maintain a lifestyle. It's going to turn into a ghetto. It's what we see.
Also recently purchased a property there and I’m so excited
All the places you have shown are beautiful, especially that they are covered with greenery. But the one that appeal to me is the West Prop development. I like it because the development will cator for the working class. Some people like me can't afford the big mansions however I want to live in a morden nice area, of which West Prop will offer that once it is completed.
your content is dope, sometimes as a people we can be stuck in our own little bubble , I appreciate you for showcasing Africa to the world and to us Africans.
Those Jacaranda Trees are amazing! Purple paradise.
it is true the young should lead Africa now. Our African youngsters are rebranding and educating us more and more about Africa and we are loving it. Well done
Sadly even here in S.A we are victim to bad press. We know Africa is not what the oppressors show on tv but when you think Zim as a South African, poverty is the 1st thing that enters your mind. Thanks for this. Very eye opening. Continue to educate bro. I hope your channel gains momentum and grows insanely.
the only oppressors are your government.
80% de su pueblo pasa hambre cada día.
@@JoseNavarro-ks9rgstop hallucinating brother have facts not propaganda how many pple have died of hunger in zimbabwe
@@chileshemulenga8790
Go & ask that question to the charities that are busy feeding hungry people. Not long ago, UN was appealing for funds to send to Zimbabwe.
@@Stirlingshirecastleeven in Uk there are charities and street people but the press never shows that side.most media always want to show negative signs on a country, why do they want to aid an african country first. Charity begins at home.
Zimbabwean here! Thank you for doing this phenomenal video and for your openmindedness about Zim! Fantastic channel! I’m going to check out your other videos and wish your channel all the best regards growth and success!
These parts of Zimbabwe really look good 👌
Zimbabweans please look into returning home and fixing your country. There’s too much potential there
On it
definitely going home very soon
So true. There's so much potential here. Thank you.
That's true
15 billion.. Pamberi neZanu PF
Zimbabwe is underrated.
God bless you sir for showing us Zimbabwe from your lens it's definitely the best ever 😊
Being in the real eatste industry, this is very good informative shoot. Great to showcase how great values have held in key locations and addresses in and around Africa. Well done for the video.
It's absolutely crazy to me to say that Zimbabwe is not a poor country because there are some millionnaires or billionaires across a few neighborhoods in Harare. The inequalities are staggering and the quality of life of the overwhelming majority of Zimbabweans is very poor due to abysmal leadership.
Well said
Wow great work man.i honestly never knew this beauty existed in Zimbabwe.I love the highlands, impressive👌🏿❤❤
I'm developing land in Shawasha ,its beautiful and the view is breath taking come guys let's live the life in AFRICA
You need the money 1st 😂😂
The top 5 rating is spot on, I like 1 - 4 places, Glen Lorne, Highlands and Shawasha Hills are stunning guys. From Hangwani, from SA
Harare has very beautiful areas, these are just a few of them
Zim is a stunning country, the sanctions & citizens moving to South Africa give ppl a negative perception of Zims beauty.
Not sanctions, corruption higher up.
@@draechi5218 South Africa is corrupt but plenty of Africans move there.
Don't be fooled by politicians. Zimbabwe's problem isn't sanctions but too much greed by politicians. Same with South Africa.
Yeah. But they should understand whether things are good or not people are always migrating and immigrating 😂 it always comes down personal. I see ppl in the US be migrating to South America talking bout damn the US. 😂 And even in the US migration from city to city state to state is through the roof. And it's the same with Europeans. I got so many European friends be moving to different parts of the world. I'm like what up bro? They like nah homie Italy sucks. Fuck Italy. Germany is a shit hole I'm goin to Mexico with my girl. Or Britain this that. My whole family moving to Uganda or the US 🤦🏾♂️😂
Rhodesia was sanctioned for decades. Stop falling for the propaganda of ZPF. Why didn't we just export to the rest of Africa, Asia and LatAm when we were sanctioned by the West?
My motherland. Thanks for showing the real Zimbabwe to the whole world
Real Zimbabwe... So the not so good side is not Real🤔
@@ephraimsimable😂 what a question
Zimbabwe has a massive inequality problem evident by the fact that Mbare and Borrowdale exist in the same city
@tafadzwachimwe777 that's just life as it is. That's a dynamic that exists in all walks of life.
Zimbabwe is a really a beautiful and well built I love my country.
Thanks Steven for this positive piece on Zimbabwe. Western mainstream media tends to focus on the perceived negatives.
My country l love you Zimbabwe no matter what
I never knew this about Zimbabwe. Thanks brother.
Welldone Stephen as one of the Zimbabwean family I want to say thank you so so much for the job welldone, as an African I want to you to know that we appreciate your good work
Thank you
I’ve never seen purple trees! This has to be one of the most beautiful sites I’ve ever in a neighborhood. ❤❤❤
They are called Jacaranda Trees check them out here th-cam.com/users/shortsz18HA2jX0H4?feature=share
Jacaranda trees- their origins are South American….Zimbabwean and South African city avenues are lined with them , so beautiful when they are in full bloom.
My street growing up was Jacaranda Ave in Clonsilla, Gweru. We also had Jacaranda trees on our plot.
Gosh my brother was allergic to jacaranda trees growing up beautiful though when they just line the streets. Miss my country. Even though are home is not in a crazy expensive area but we have a tennis court nd swimming pool. Zim is just naturally rich hence the west are obsessed with our country
Thanx for showing us the other side of Zim I thought it's a very sloppy country because it's underrated, I love it now
Apart from the stunning landscape, Zimbabwe people is another treasure, in comparison with neigboring countries, Zimbabweans are more friendly, loving, benovolent, law-abiding. Foreigners feel more embraced and secure here.
Yes, it's in love with my son as a Zimbabwe myself. Our country is not poor at all, matter of fact, nowhere in Africa is truly poor, it's just the government, that is favoring itself over others.
Thanks for show casing Zimbabwe to the world Steve, I consider it is one of the most beautiful countries in Africa, it is a gem. The cities are well planned and there's kinda of like a hierarchy in the use of land whereby it is zoned into 3 different areas ie. the high density areas (low income earners), medium density areas (medium income earners) and finally the low density areas where the affluent people reside. Well done Steve keep up the good work. 🥰 👌👏👏
I wouldn't say the affluent its where people in the middle class live lower middle class , comfortable middle class and upper middle class live
Let’s hope all those beautiful homes were earned and not from corruption proceeds.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣 corruption is the foundation of Zimbabwe
You are so right.
We have a lot of places like these alexandra park , gunhill , milton park , malbrough , colbrough , ridgeveiw etc
I stay Borrowdale, beautiful suburb and the choice of restaurants. Love it, anyday
Very interesting video, thank you for sharing. Beautiful properties in some amazing suburbs.
The whole of Harare is very beautiful actually. I don't know how Zim ended up with a tattered reputation. Must be jealous and ignorance.
Misgovernance followed by bullying by Britain and America.
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 All countries have misgovernance of sorts. I will go with the bullying part....
They committed a taboo "took their land back from the colonisers".
The West had to make an extreme example for other African countries intending to reclaim their land.
Whites are the ones who speak ILL of zimbabwe . The Land issue did mess them up big time especially that they ( British/ Dutch) were so comfortable before 1980 . Bitterness is deep ,unfortunately for them the Land issue is irreversible . The European settlers that accepted change are still enjoying themselves (yes farming and other businesses ). Those who were stupid enough to resist change are parked in South Africa waiting for change .
@@Appydem I hated this ZanuPF narrative but got to realise it's actually true.
My dream is to live in Zimbabwe - The Highlands... So beautiful.. Watching from the Caribbean islands of Trinidad & Tobago.
w/ all the negative publicity Zimbabwe gets, i never would have thought Zimbabwe would be so beautiful 😍
Mukaka. Great job Stevooo. We want more
I MISS KUMBA . MY MOTHER LAND. ZIMBABWE 🇿🇼🇿🇼
Be grateful for the opportunity to leave zim. Coming back to here is like going to hell
@@lifesucks-z6k Are you in Zim?
Recently visited Zim was stunned ..I was only in Vic Falls but I promise if it was easy to settle there,that's where I would spend the rest of my life!The bad press is to keep us away from one another...Africa is not a continent....it is a country!
don't be silly africa is a continent

Well very exciting,thanks guys for showing us this top notch side of our country.Some only see those places in dreams.
Thats a lie everyward in Harare has a low density surbub even in mbare , mabvuku , glenview , mufakose wards...etc The Only wards that are strictly lowdensity is Borrowdale, Highlands, Mt pleasant, Malbrough, Mt humpden and avondale. The rest of the wards from Greendale, Eastlea, Mufakose have potion of highdensity to medium density and low density surbubs. In these wards like glenora , mabvuku etc ....Its just that low density surbubs located where i just mentioned are small they go unnoticed thats it .
@@shanewalkingdead8258 Well you are entitled to your school of thought.
What about Avondale and Hellensvale?
I've subscribed and clicked to the bell icon, Why?
This video has touched my heart very much. I didn't know Zimbabwe looked like this before.
Yes Borrowdale was No1, everyone in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 knows a lot abt It but.... GLEN LORNE WAS THE BEST FOR ME BECAUSE OF THE GREAT MOUNTAIN VIEWS AND HOUSES...
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟5 stars for this video
Welcome to the family
Beautiful watching from Cape town South Africa
Zimbabwe will be a good place for me to invest in, keep it up you guys
Please come we have millions big opportunities and the country is peaceful
Fairly done and quite informative.
Nice video ,
Nice location, the land space and the greenery is eye-catching but at the end it does not come cheap .
Tell us in which country wud such beauty be Cheap ,, nowhere , The houses in these Harare suburbs wud cost u an arm and a leg in the UK , Germany, Italy, Ukraine, Sweden. Zimbabwe is fantastic !!
The actual richest neighbourhoods in harare:
no1 umwinsidale under borrowdale ward the average price of land one is allowed to purchase is 1 hectar the starting price for left overs smaller than 1 hectar is 300 000 USD for just 1000m2 .
no2 a specific Part of Glen Lorne under borrowdale ward where makandiwa belt his 3000 sqm mansion on 2 hectares of land 5 acres of land. Starting price for a house belt there 1 million USD
no3 a specific place in south of malbrough
Cheapest house 900 000 USD.
Everywhere else is just upper middle class especially all the places mentioned in this video I know he mentioned Glen Lorne but it's most of Glen Lorne is just upper middle class.
thanks for featuring Zimbabwe ❤
Highlands, Greystone Park, and Glen Lorne are awesome
Zim my beautiful country. Thanks for showcasing this aspect of Zimbabwe.
My beautiful Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Thanks for promoting Zimbabwe , the world should know
Those Jacaranda trees are just screaming “ beautiful Zimbabwe”
I love you brother you are just amazing telling us the truth sorry and show us

Thanks
