Durban property is always highly sought after,
by both the local and international buyer. We give you a brief
summary and outline of the suburbs and towns available.

The Berea overlooks the central city and the Indian Ocean
and is made up of trendy apartment blocks and office buildings,
making it a popular location of young professionals. Cato
Manor - although once a traditionally working class suburb
- has undergone tremendous urban redevelopment in recent years,which
has lead to an increase in property prices and investment.
The same applies to Queensburgh, formerly known as Malvern,
a once mainly working class area which has undergone massive
urban rejuvenation.
Durban - Northen Property
Chatsworth – Mount Edgecombe – Umdloti –
Umhlanga
Chatsworth is a largely Indian populated suburb, and adds

from India, and holds the "Temple of Understanding"
- South Africa's most spectacular Hindu temple.
