Durban’s South Coast popular for retirees
Looking to retire in a peaceful, coastal area? Durban’s South Coast, with its warm weather, white, sandy beaches and ocean views might just be the place for you.
KwaZulu-Natal’s South Coast is no longer just an attraction for local holiday-makers and tourists. For a number of reasons, it’s become a popular destination for South Africa’s retirees looking to buy a home in a relaxed and quiet environment. Here are a few reasons why retirees are choosing to settle in the South Coast.
Weather
With its temperate climate offering all-year-round warm weather, Durban’s South Coast is not surprisingly popular for permanent residents. There’s more time to spend outdoors, on the beach and soaking up everything the coastline has to offer. From beach walks and ocean swimming to fishing and settling on the sand for an afternoon of book reading, it’s the perfect location for a calm and quiet retirement.
Quality of life
A warm climate, ocean views and a small town atmosphere, residents are given a good quality of life where stress is a thing of the past. With an open coastline available for daily walks, fresh ocean air and an abundance of wildlife, residents are offered more time and space for exercise and less rushing around.
Value for money
The South Coast offers retirees value for money that other areas in South Africa just can’t. With medium to large sized properties available between R800 000 and R1.5 million, retirees can purchase a home with enough space for children and grandchildren to visit for a reasonable price. The area also offers 11 different golf courses, perfect for those interested in the sport looking to have a weekly or monthly round with fellow retired friends.
Whether it’s the weather, quality of life or value for money that attracts you, or all three, Durban’s South Coast has something to offer everyone.
