What to know locally in Alberton

On the ridge, plans usually step down a slope with a garage below and living areas above, so a split-level or double storey plan can save a lot of earth moving. Randhart and Verwoerdpark families look for three-bedroom houses with a scullery and an enclosed patio. In Thokoza, a two-bedroom starter home with space for a third room is the practical choice.

Homes and buildings in Alberton

Alberton climbs from the industrial flats of Alrode and Wadeville up to the ridge around Alberton Nature Reserve, where New Redruth, Brackenhurst and Meyersdal Estate hold larger houses with views. Randhart, Brackendowns and Alberton North are older family suburbs full of renovations, while Thokoza and Katlehong have extended RDP houses and a growing number of rental rooms. Meyersdal and the nearby estates impose design guidelines and aesthetics committee reviews. Plans are mostly extensions, family houses on sloping stands and workshop layouts, drawn by local draughtspersons and estate-based architects.
