An increasing number of house hunters are investing in property for sale in Hillcrest. Situated just outside of Durban, it’s a suburban sanctuary for anyone eager to escape the buzz of eThekwini.

A country town on city outskirts

Once a sleepy suburb of just a few residents, the area’s popularity has resulted in lots of land development. Though its quaint and quiet status remains, it has gained many modern conveniences, such as retail stores and hangout spots. Anyone who buys one of the homes for sale here also receives access to:

An excellent education

Both public and private schools can be found, ranging from preparatory institutions to colleges, including Winston Park Primary and Hillcrest High. Therefore, your kids won’t have to travel far to receive decent tuition, saving you time and money.

Recreational fun for everyone

Your family weekends and holidays won’t be the same after a move to Hillcrest. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy canoe races, fishing, game reserve visits, hiking, picnics and polo. Night owls can party the evening away at clubs and pubs. And, foodies can fall in love with its evolving restaurant sector and many shopping centres.

Leasing opportunities

Homes on the market with multiple rooms can easily be transformed into guest accommodation. Alternatively, you can earn an extra income by renting out your new home to vacationers, when you’re out of town. Considering the beauty of the location, finding tenants shouldn’t prove too challenging.
