Established more that 25 years ago, when land was not as scarce as today, the plots were divided up with comfort in mind. Most homes are single level.

With the establishment of the Longbeach Mall in 2002, Sunnydale suddenly became popular and many homes are undergoing modernization.

Sunnydale is situated on the Western side of Ou Kaapse Weg the main arterial road to Cape Town, so many families look to settle here as they can get into Cape Town quickly.
