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.

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

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!
