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.
