Essenwood is one of Durban’s older, most established safe suburbs with the English architecture nudging more multicultural design and affluent property clustering around the top private schools for which this area is well known . This suburb is the heart of the so-called Berea, a large, attractive, and green suburb which cascades down the hill towards Greyville Racecourse and Royal Durban Golf Club, the slope giving many homes sensational views of the sea .Essenwood is a grid of the primary parallel, contour roads which traverse the entire Berea area, right from the N3 to the northern side of this “ridge” around Florida and Montpelier roads. In layers from the top, Peter Mokaba (Ridge), Stephen Dlamini (Essenwood), and Musgrave Road, dominate, with a wide range of properties, ranging from the glorious old Durban Victorian and Edwardian homes to some of the largest, most extravagant, modern properties in the region, it is  bordered by beautiful green parks – from botanical gardens to Mitchell Park and Jamieson Park.
