Umhlanga Lifestyle
Umhlanga is an upmarket residential and commercial metropolis. Property values are some of the highest in the country and the many Blue Chip Corporate Companies on Umhlanga Ridge employ some of the most skilled business minds in industry. As such, inhabitants tend to have a ready disposable income to enjoy the many pleasures of the area.
Although Umhlanga grew from a small holiday resort village, visitors to the area have always had a degree of wealth. The dress style tends towards casual chic, La Lucia Shopping Mall on the southern border of Umhlanga specializes in boutique stores offering exclusive products and the larger retail complex at Gateway offers many high end labels.
Family remains the cornerstone of the community. Children are encouraged to participate fully in school and extra-curricular activities. The area offers many superb public primary schools and Crawford La Lucia is a private school with superb facilities and excellent academic results. Most young children attend pre-school or playschool and are raised to be sociable and active outdoors. School sport is a regular Saturday morning past time in the area, with many attending live sport matches on Saturday afternoon or evening at the near-by Moses Mabida Stadium or Absa Shark Tank, home of the local Sharks Rugby team.
