Why move to a new build home in Leicester?

Leicester was ranked the best place to live and work in the East Midlands in 2023. Here's a flavour of why it's so popular.

Activities

Despite its city status, Leicester doesn't feel as built-up as other cities around the UK. This makes it perfect if you're looking for somewhere quiet to settle down. It's also a place of great cultural diversity and this is reflected in its busy local calendar, with the St George's Festival, Caribbean Carnival and Diwali being popular annual events.

There's no shortage of culture and history to immerse yourself in, with the National Space Centre offering an interactive experience for all ages and the UK's largest planetarium. And you can't miss the King Richard III Visitor Centre, where the long-lost remains of an English king were found under a car park, of all things.

Leicester is undeniably passionate about sport, with professional football, rugby and cricket played in the city. Leicester City FC, otherwise known as the Foxes, have an assortment of silverware to show off, including their 2015-16 Premier League title won against all odds. Leicester Tigers play rugby union at Welford Road and have been one of the top clubs in the Premiership for decades.

Education

Parents and parents-to-be can settle down in one of the new builds near Leicester knowing there's a wide array of primary and secondary schools rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. This makes it a great place to find your dream home and raise a family.

For those looking to study higher education, Leicester also has two prominent universities, the University of Leicester and De Montford University.

Travel 

Its central location means Leicester has excellent transport links to many parts of the county, offering a variety of opportunities for work and leisure. The city sits just off the M1, providing easy access to London and the south-east and the north of England in the opposite direction.

By rail, direct trains connect Leicester to Birmingham in around 50 minutes and London St Pancras in just over an hour.

The nearest airports are East Midlands, driveable in around 30 minutes, and Birmingham International, which takes around 50 minutes by car. These put a wide range of destinations within reach of you and your dream home.
