PROJECT Balwin Properties

KZN’ s North Coast on the rise

New phases in Ballito and Umhlanga developments are fuelling the North Coast property boom.
The KwaZulu-Natal North Coast has firmly established itself as a high-growth area for property investment, attracting a diverse range of buyers from young families to retirees. A combination of lifestyle appeal, premium amenities, and the allure of coastal living has seen key pockets such as Ballito and Umhlanga experience a steady influx of new residents. Supporting this trend, developers like Balwin Properties are contributing to the region’ s growth by releasing new phases in their sought-after developments.
In the most recent Property Market Reports by Rainmaker Marketing, Ballito and Umhlanga are highlighted as two of the fastest-growing nodes on the North Coast, both in terms of property demand and infrastructure investment. While these areas have long been popular, the growing wave of property developments in these areas over the past decade is still not at saturation point to meet the increasing appetite for high-quality, community-driven estates on offer. One savvy developer looking to capitalise on this demand is Balwin Properties, who have just recently announced the release of Phase 20 within Ballito Hills and Phase 10 for Izinga Eco-Estate. According to Kyle Gallagher, General Manager for KZN, at the show weekend that took place in the last weekend of September 2024 was much busier than usual, indicating that both newly released phases are already receiving substantial interest from buyers.
