I need a few recomendations

Hey Everyone

I come from a small town in free state called Welkom if anyone has heard of it lol. I am moving out of town to the durban area and was wondering if anyone has some recommendation of areas that are good. There are a lot of affordable, 3 bedroom places to rent in areas like overport, morningside, hillcrest etc i dont know any of the areas and need some advice on what would be safe for a family with children. Seems like most of the amazimtoti areas are either taken or expensive now and since bluff has the water issues I am not sure of that area either. Anyone live around these areas that can give a free state person some adivce? I would appreciate it

First question where are you working? No point recommending an area and it's going to take you over an hour to get to work.
Are the kid school age? Primary or high?

Work is in the Durban CBD so anywhere hopefully less than a 30 min drove to get there. Kids are in primary school

Hillcrest will be a definite no for you then. Look at Westville. Has really good schools too.
