Buying a house is a major milestone. It’s exciting, overwhelming, and packed with decisions that shape your lifestyle, finances, and future. For first-time buyers, finding a home that’s well-designed, fairly priced, future-proof, and family-ready can feel like a tall order.
Sant’Ana, VTC Africa’s latest residential development in Northriding, certainly hits the mark.
Thoughtfully built for modern living and grounded in sustainability, Sant’Ana is a smart, future-facing investment for anyone buying a home for the first time.
Why First-Time Buyers Should Start at Sant’Ana
When you’re going through the process of buying a house, you’re looking for value, security, lifestyle, and potential. Homes for first-time buyers need to tick a few important boxes: affordability, functionality, longevity, and location. Sant’Ana nails every one of them. Here’s why:
Move-In Ready
Sant’Ana offers a collection of beautifully finished 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom villas and apartments crafted with comfort and practicality in mind. Each home features thoughtful details like private gardens, fibre internet, Bosch-fitted kitchens, and more. Every space is ready for you to move in, settle down, and start living the lifestyle you’ve been working towards.
A Secure, Family-Friendly Estate
If you’re buying a home for the first time, safety matters. Sant’Ana is a secure estate with 24-hour protection, access-controlled entry, and a layout designed to give families both privacy and peace of mind. Little ones can play safely, neighbours can connect easily, and you’ll always feel at home.
Prime Location
Location plays a huge role in the success of your first home purchase. Sant’Ana sits on Bellairs Drive in Northriding, close to great schools, shops, medical care, and main transport routes. It’s easy to get where you need to go, and just as easy to stay in and enjoy the calm.
