Where should I live in Umhlanga?

We asked digital nomads and expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Umhlanga, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from apartments, houses, or even shared accommodations. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Umhlanga to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some popular areas include Umhlanga Rocks, La Lucia, and Mount Edgecombe. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rental properties or properties for sale in Umhlanga. Websites like Property24, Private Property, and Gumtree are popular choices. You can filter your search based on your preferences, such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and other amenities. Make sure to read the descriptions carefully and look at all the photos. If you're not comfortable searching online or if you're not finding what you're looking for, you can also consider hiring a real estate agent. They can help you find properties that match your criteria and arrange viewings. Once you've found a property you're interested in, you should arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to see the property in person and ask any questions you might have. If you're happy with the property, you can then proceed to negotiate the terms of the lease or purchase agreement. Make sure to read the contract carefully before signing. Finally, once everything is agreed upon and the paperwork is complete, you can move into your new home in Umhlanga," said one person in Umhlanga.
