Discover why you should consider investing in Winston Park's thriving real estate market.

• Sought-after location

Winston Park, which is surrounded by Gillitts and Hillcrest, is centrally located and provides residents with a quieter, more laid-back lifestyle than the busy pace associated with big-city living. Because of its location, the entire region avoids the excessive levels of humidity that affect the Durban area. Although the winters are a tad bit chilly, the slightly lower summer temperatures have proven to be a lure for visitors looking to escape the harsh heat of other surrounding coastal towns.

Despite the amount of development, the area has retained all of its beauty. With its famous tree-lined avenues and gorgeous homes, a village atmosphere prevails.

• The property market

Winston Park homes are typically big and have well-kept grounds. Residents take great pride in keeping their gardens lush and verdant. Many of the residences here have excellent security features like panhandle access, alarm systems, and beams. The Winston Park Guardians is a non-profit organisation that was founded to promote safety and keep property values rising. The Winston Park security huts' close proximity has also deterred criminals from the area, ensuring a favourable property market.

According to the latest trend patterns, 60.9% of recent purchases in the area are between the ages of 36 and 49. The suburb's average home cost is R2,850,000. Despite a pandemic, floods, and turmoil in the surrounding areas, sales and price averages have stayed stable over the last two years.

• Prominent schools in the area

For families with school-aged children, it is becoming increasingly essential to conduct research before settling on a suburb in which to purchase a new home. The placement of a property in a school catchment area affects affordability, property resale possibilities, and rental prices.

Some of the best schools in KwaZulu-Natal may be found along the Upper Highway. For their primary school education, your kids can go to Winston Park Primary School. Alternative schools nearby include Hillcrest Primary School, Kloof Junior Primary School, and Kloof Senior Primary School.

The well-known Kloof High School is the closest secondary institution, with Hillcrest High School and Kearsney College nearby. If you want your child to have a continuous educational experience, Roseway Waldorf School, St. Mary's Diocesan School for Girls, and Thomas More College, the province's largest independent school, are excellent options.
