Once known as a quiet seaside town, Ballito in KZN has become a hustling and bustling coastal location, while retaining its community feel - with beachfront apartments selling from around R2.8m upwards.
Harcourts Dolphin Coast Business Owner JP Pienaar says he was attracted to Ballito due to its continued rise in demand. "In the 22 years I have been in property it has been amazing to watch how Ballito has consistently showcased growth and given homeowners good return on investment numbers."
"Clients are surprised with the prices at first if they are not from the area, beachfront apartments fetch anything from R2.8 million and upwards depending on the position. What's exciting is that we have a high investor market using apartments for holiday letting or AirB&B," says Pienaar.
Secure gated environments with great communal facilities are especially popular, and a new development by ARCIS Property Development has just launched in the heart of Ballito.
“Ballito Village is ideally located to deliver the coastal village lifestyle, with unmatched access to Umhlanga CBD and King Shaka Airport and, by extension, the rest of South Africa," says ARCIS Property Development Sales Manager Andrea Santoriello.
It offers 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments with top-notch finishes in a beautiful and secure lifestyle estate with all the expected amenities and more, accessibly priced from R949 000.
“These apartments offer superb investment potential, and our first phase of 60 apartments in Ballito Village, launched on 1 October, is almost sold out. Phase 2 with another 60 apartments is now selling fast. This development represents an excellent lifestyle and investment opportunity – which is reflected in the pace of sales. The development will eventually take access off the same turning circle as the prestigious Zimbali Estate, giving you one of the best addresses in the country.”

"Buyers are moving to Ballito to escape the rat race and provide their families with an amazing lifestyle whilst they can work from home or fly to Johannesburg, returning on weekends, with the airport being so closely situated," adds Pienaar.
Ballito offers buyers and visitors a plethora of great lifestyle options. With some of the country's finest private schools only a stone's throw from town, the great beaches, lovely ocean conditions and fantastic restaurants make this town a dream come true.
"For the more energetic families, we have Holla trails for mountain biking, trail running or entertainment for the kids at Sugar rush. Micro lighting, surfing, fishing and many more activities offered year-round due to our tropical climate," says Pienaar.
"Ballito will continue with its growth, based on the quality lifestyle and unique estates that are being developed. What once was a small holiday town has fast become a sought after family lifestyle destination. Our demand for properties has continued to grow and there is no doubt 2021 will continue with this trend trend."
