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.

The area has two primary schools with a modern state-of-the-art secondary school opened in 2016, which also brings excellent sporting facilities. A number of Private schools are within cycling distance. There are also various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, a hairdresser, surgery, chemist, Waitrose supermarket and two country parks.
