La Lucia's Luxury Property Market

Emerging as a definite front runner of the luxury property market in KwaZulu-Natal, with a strong demand in the residential sector growing year on year – the upmarket suburb of La Lucia is in a class of its own. Situated approximately three kilometres away from the ever-popular uMhlanga, this area has remained on par with the exclusive offerings and spectacular residences that can be found in both suburbs.

Buy-to-Let on the Rise
