Overview Properties Branches
Durban North is one of the oldest and most well-established family-orientated areas in KwaZulu-Natal. It overlooks beautiful beaches and boasts excellent schools and amenities that make it the perfect place for homebuyers with children.
So says Greg Harris, owner of the local Chas Everitt International franchise, who adds that families have steadily been moving into the suburbs making up this area since the early 2000s, when new residential development began to intensify.
"Bordered by La Lucia to the north and the uMgeni River to the south, Durban North was once a coastal dune forest that has been transformed into a vibrant residential node with a high appeal for families
The suburbs of Glen Anil, Glenashley, Glen Hills, Virginia and Park Hill are the main residential areas, while Briardene and Red Hill are more industrial.
One of the main attractions, he says, is a central location between uMhlanga and Durban central, which are 15 and 18 minutes' drive away respectively, and can easily be accessed via the N2 freeway and the Ruth First Highway (M4).
"This puts residents close to new commercial precincts like La Lucia Ridge Office Park, uMhlanga New Town Centre and uMhlanga Ridge Town Centre and reduces the time and cost of commuting to work.
"However, the main draw card for families remains the presence of top schools such as Crawford, Durban North Primary, Northlands Girls' High and Northwood, enabling residents to drop off and fetch their children in less than 10 minutes."
Harris says families moving to the area generally prefer lock-up-and-go homes in security estates with a minimum of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double garage and an onsite swimming pool.
However, there is a very wide range of properties on offer, including big freehold homes with spacious yards and secure sectional-title units that appeal to younger buyers who also want to be close to work as well as the many attractions of a well-established area.
 
"Residents here are spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping, for example, with La Lucia Mall, Kensington Square, Virginia Shopping Centre and Northway Centre on the doorstep.
"And despite all the development in recent years, Durban North boasts many natural attractions such as warm beaches, animal parks and nature reserves such as the famous Beachwood Mangrove Reserve."
