East London property for sale

East London is the second largest city in the Eastern Cape. Located on a picturesque stretch of the balmy Indian Ocean coastline, East London is a thriving beach and bush holiday destination and a successful manufacturing hub dominated by the motor, pharmaceutical, clothing and textile industries.

This attractive port city - the only river port in South Africa - is sandwiched between the Buffalo and Nahoon Rivers and includes one of only four duty free development zones in the country.

The gateway to the Wild and Sunshine Coasts has experienced an upturn of fortunes of late, with significant investment flowing into the tranquil, friendly city to fund adventure tourism and a new car terminal at the busy harbour.

Ideally situated on the N2 and N6 highways - which link the sea-side city to Cape Town, Durban and Bloemfontein - East London is serviced by a domestic airport which provides regular flights to all major South African destinations.

As an established urban settlement dating back to the late 1800s, East London has all the facilities and amenities you’d expect to find in a large city. Excellent education is provided by a host of private and public schools including Selborne College, Cambridge High School, Hudson Park High, Stirling Primary & High Schools, Nahoon Montessori and Clarendon Schools, while countless hospitals and clinics offer essential health care.
