Trumpington is a village that has evolved into a bustling, self-contained suburb since 2013. It is exceptionally well located for access to Addenbrookes Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, the M11, and the city by car, bus, cycle routes and walking. The city's main train station can be easily reached by bus or by bicycle. Cambridge South Station, currently under construction and expected to be completed in summer of 2026, is a mere 5 minutes' walk through the local nature reserve.

The area boasts three primary schools and a state-of-the-art secondary school, with excellent sporting facilities available to the community outside school hours. Many of the city's finest private schools are within easy cycling distance. The neighbourhood offers various amenities, both immediately on Hobson's Square (a 3 minute walk) and close by, including cafes, pub-restaurants, shops, a post office, barber, GP surgery, dentist, pharmacy, library, performance space, and community centre. There is a major Waitrose supermarket and local supermarket outlets, including Sainsbury’s.

A short walk from the flat is Hobson's Park Nature & Bird Reserve, an area of grassland and lakes, creating a green corridor that runs all the way from Shelford and Trumpington, along Hobson's Brook, up to the University Botanic Garden. The Botanic Garden is a lovely 30 minute walk away along Hobson's Brook Local Nature Reserve. Also within easy walking distance is the picturesque village of Grantchester with its famous “Orchard Tea Garden.” For flat-dwelling gardeners, there are also two allotment sites close by. For cyclists, Wandlebury Ring and the Gog Magog Hills are a pleasant half hour ride. The busway companionway (directly off of Hering Road) also provides car-free cycling/green active travel into the city centre, and all the way to St. Ives.
