What to know locally in East London
Single storey three bedroom houses with generous covered patios suit the Beacon Bay and Gonubie estates, while split-level and double storey houses make better use of steep Vincent and Berea stands. In Mdantsane, houses are often extended with a second storey over the first floor. Rondavel and homestead designs are common in the rural villages around Qonce and Bhisho.
Homes and buildings in East London
East London is a river port and coastal city where steep valleys meet the Indian Ocean. Vincent, Berea, Selborne and Nahoon have established houses on varied slopes, many with sea or river views, while Beacon Bay, Gonubie and Bonnie Doon offer newer family estates and sectional title schemes. Mdantsane, Duncan Village and Scenery Park hold dense township housing with backyard rooms and rental extensions, and Bhisho and Qonce carry government and church building work. Humidity, salt air, heavy summer rains and sloping gullies influence the drainage and materials. Plans are produced by local draughtspersons and a few architects based in Vincent and Beacon Bay.
