Location

Northstowe is a purpose built new town in South Cambridgeshire, located approximately 9 miles north west of Cambridge and positioned between the established villages of Longstanton and Oakington. The development has been carefully planned to provide a modern, well connected residential environment, combining contemporary infrastructure with generous greenspace and community facilities. The town benefits from strong transport connectivity. Road access is convenient via the nearby A14, which provides direct links east to Cambridge and west towards Huntingdon, the Midlands, and the wider motorway network. A key feature of Northstowe is its proximity to the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, with dedicated stops serving the town and offering frequent, reliable services to Cambridge city centre, Cambridge Science Park, St Ives, and surrounding settlements. Although Northstowe does not yet have its own railway station, regular guided bus services provide direct connections to Cambridge North and Cambridge mainline stations, offering fast rail access to London King's Cross, as well as regional destinations. Amenities within Northstowe continue to expand as the town grows and now include local retail provision, cafés, community facilities, sports pitches, playparks, and healthcare services. Further neighbourhood centres, employment space, and leisure facilities are planned as part of the wider masterplan, ensuring long term sustainability and convenience for residents. Educational provision is a key strength. Northstowe is served by well regarded state schools within the development, including Pathfinder Primary Academy and Northstowe Secondary College, providing modern educational facilities from primary through to secondary level. In addition, a wide selection of respected independent schools is available within easy reach, particularly in Cambridge, including The Perse School, St Faith's, The Leys, and other established preparatory and senior schools.
