"A typical expat home or apartment in Durban, is often located in secure complexes or gated communities, offering a high level of security. These homes are usually spacious, with multiple bedrooms, modern bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. They often feature open-plan living areas, with large windows or balconies that offer stunning views of the city or the ocean. Many of these homes come with private gardens or access to communal green spaces, swimming pools, and barbecue areas. They are often furnished with contemporary furniture and equipped with modern appliances, including air conditioning, due to Durban's warm climate. The homes are usually located close to amenities such as shopping centers, restaurants, schools, and healthcare facilities. Some expat homes may also have domestic help quarters, as hiring domestic help is common in South Africa," wrote a member who made the move to Durban, South Africa.
