A place to build the life you want

Northstowe dares to be different and is designed to be an excellent place to live, built to high-quality standards.

There is easy access to the countryside and Cambridge via the guided busway and active travel routes.

Grow personally and professionally

Whether you work for a company based in the Cambridge sub region, or you want to grow your own business, Northstowe will support your ambitions.

The town is designed so it will be easy to bump into others with similar interests such as tech, medicine, research, entrepreneurship, and the arts as well as people who love sport and being close to nature.

There will be places to meet up, and the plans include coworking spaces for when you want to leave home and work somewhere new.

 “It's very exciting to be part of this whole new town project and to see it coming together and being part of it and helping shape it a little bit.”

Run by the community, for the community

Northstowe Town Council is run by residents and gives you the opportunity to have a say in the towns development. Northstowe has an elected Town Mayor. The council is consulted on planning applications, and it also enables local groups and activities. There are many ways to get involved in the community including volunteering at events and activities.

The Northstowe Community Development Officers are happy to set up an informal chat with community groups about ideas you may have or how you can provide support. Email them to find out more. 

The Northstowe Community Activation Fund supports projects that will directly benefit Northstowe residents.
