About this property

This compact one-bedroom apartment in Durban's South Beach precinct offers straightforward city living on an upper floor of a multi-storey block. The open-plan lounge and kitchen area features marble-effect ceramic floor tiles throughout and freshly painted grey walls, giving the unit a clean, move-in-ready feel. A security gate at the front door provides an additional layer of access control, complementing the building's 24-hour security. Large aluminium-framed windows and a sliding door open onto a private balcony with steel balustrading, delivering an elevated street-level view over the busy Durban CBD intersection below. The kitchen alcove includes a stainless-steel sink set into a grey cabinet with white overhead cupboards. The bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes. Ventilation bricks are visible throughout, aiding natural airflow.

The location is exceptionally convenient: Oriental City Shopping Mall is roughly 63 m away, KWIKSPAR Saint Georges Beach is within 190 m, and North Beach park is approximately 124 m from the building — ideal for morning walks or weekend recreation. Restaurants, a pharmacy, and various educational institutions are all within easy walking distance, making this apartment well suited to young professionals, students, or investors seeking a central Durban foothold.
