Westville

Westville is part of the greater Durban area in KwaZulu Natal and its accessibility to the city makes it a popular choice for property investment. Located between Sherwood and Pinetown, this suburb is just 15 minutes from the city centre, yet it is set amongst rolling hills, with gardens and meandering streams, making it one of the most beautiful residential areas in the province.

Westville is known for its tree lined streets and the relative peace and quiet in comparison to Durban Central, as well as for its proximity to the popular Pavillion shopping centre and Pietermaritzburg. The area was historically farmland during the 1920s, which might explain the country lifestyle most residents can look forward to here, even though the city is not far off.

The homes in Westville are generally situated on large properties, with many offering exquisite views from their hillside locations. The major road networks in the vicinity have encouraged the development of the commercial sector here and there are a number of office parks and business centres that have established themselves in recent years. The University of Kwa Zulu Natal has a campus in Westville, which is another reason why property is so attractive here.
