A bakers, two shops one with post office which is also really useful for banking, two pubs, sports and social club, numerous social activities such as netball and football teams, bowls and much more. Walks around the village or straight onto fields as short or long as you would like to make them. A variety of play parks for little ones and a library. Religious places of interest too.

it's a very quiet neighborhood. The only amenities are the COOP and the Gym. I did read that eventually that there will be an addition of a new clinic on or by the COOP which will make it easier and more convenient to see a doctor. There is only one restaurant near by, but Huntingdon is close by.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Firstly northstowe is cb24 and these reviews everywhere are lies! Living in northstowe is hellish. We have no shops no decent places to socialise no doctors. It's boring and all the trouble in the area is worsening. Its just another mini ghetto like cambourne and Trumpington with lots of vulnerable ha tenants from temporary accommodation all over and refuges etc no support in place

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The community try very hard but it's not working for many vulnerable people here

What is the best feature of your home:

The size if the properties are good which will draw people in but I fully regret moving here. Life is hellish here there's nothing to do without travelling far or sitting in a poxy portacabin community centre which frankly is a joke. The new tap and social bar come community general space is a rip off and to keep the social housing tenants seperate I'm sure! There's a clear 2 tier way of life here and the ghetto side and the posh side clash!
