Fern Glen, Port Elizabeth
Fern Glen is a fairly quiet suburb that is situated along Cape Road, between the William Moffett Expressway and the area of Sunridge. This is a largely residential suburb, although there are a few shops in the vicinity, as well as some local amenities (such as a laundromat). There are a few townhouse complexes, but the majority of the properties are freestanding homes, making this an ideal suburb for families and retirees.
Fern Glen makes for a great stopover as it is so centrally situated. It is within 10 to 15 minutes' drive from Greenacres and Walmer Park shopping centres, as well as from Moffett on Main, the Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarket, and Figtree.
Cape Road soon becomes the N2, which leads all the way to Cape Town in the Western Cape. This makes Fern Glen accessible and conveniently situated.
