Westville is a quiet and beautiful, upmarket residential suburb only 15 minutes from Durban and lies between the suburb of Sherwood and the industrial area of Pinetown. Westville's business centre has prestigious office parks housing major companies and professional firms, while the stylish Pavilion Mall attracts shoppers from all over the province. The Westville Campus of University of KwaZulu-Natal is located here and hence academics are also much in evidence. Bounded by the N3 and M19 freeways, with the N2 and M7 nearby plus the M13 running through it, Westville offers easy access to the region. The M13 is in fact on the route of the world-famous Comrades Marathon between Durban and Pietermaritzburg. There is a good range of property types including executive freestanding houses, exclusive townhouses, villas, simplexes and duplexes and cluster developments. Incorporated into Westville, is the sought-after area of Cowies Hill.
