About this property

This charming corner share-block apartment is situated in the heart of South Beach, Durban, just metres from the Indian Ocean beachfront. Spanning 74 m², the unit enjoys sought-after side sea views — visible from the upper-floor vantage point across the iconic Durban beachfront skyline — and benefits from cross-ventilation typical of a corner position.

Inside, the apartment offers a spacious lounge with warm timber-look flooring, a chandelier light fitting, and ample wall space for artwork. The functional kitchen features white cabinetry, dark stone-effect worktops, tiled splashbacks, a freestanding electric stove, and a double sink — all sensibly laid out in an L-shaped configuration with room for a full-size fridge-freezer. The unit includes one bedroom and one bathroom.

Just steps away, Oriental City Shopping Mall (approx. 63 m) and KWIKSPAR Saint Georges Beach (approx. 190 m) provide everyday convenience, while a handful of restaurants — including Durbans Flavour (approx. 49 m) — sit virtually on the doorstep. North Beach park is roughly 124 m away, placing the city's prized beachfront leisure strip within easy reach.

The building sits on a popular bus route, making it ideal for daily commuters. Competitively priced at R470 000, this unit presents an excellent entry-level investment or starter home in one of Durban's most vibrant coastal neighbourhoods.
