Trumpington is a thriving, fast-growing part of the city that still manages to retain its village identity and sense of community.
It is exceptionally well located for access into the Addenbrooke's campus, out to the M11 and into the city by car, bus, guided bus, one of a few purpose-built cycle routes, or even an enthusiastic walk. The city's mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway cycleway without having to mix with car traffic at all. Cambridge South Station, due to open in 2026, will serve all lines to London and only be a 5 minute walk away.
The area has three primary schools and a brand new state-of-the-art secondary school built in 2016 with excellent sporting facilities and a public gym. Many of the city's finest private schools are within easy cycling distance.
There are also various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, gp surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre. There is a major Waitrose supermarket and a Sainsbury's local.
Outdoors there is a country park between the apartment and Addenbrooke’s campus with allotments, walking paths and children’s play areas. There is a second nature reserve at Trumpington Meadows which links Trumpington through to Byron's Pool and Grantchester. Various bridleways and footpaths lead immediately out into the countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.
