Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Port Elizabeth, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Port Elizabeth is considered to be relatively affordable compared to other major cities in the country. Housing and rental prices are quite reasonable, especially when compared to cities like Cape Town or Johannesburg. The cost of groceries and dining out is also relatively low, making everyday expenses manageable for residents. Public transportation is available and affordable, but many residents also find owning a car to be within their means. Utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water are also not overly expensive. However, the cost of living can vary depending on the lifestyle and spending habits of the individual or family," wrote a member who made the move to Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
