Living in Stantonbury & Bradville
This part of Milton Keynes carries the hallmarks of the town's planned origins — a mix of housing tenures sitting close to open parkland, with cars the dominant mode of getting around. Around 63% of residents live within easy walking distance of green space, and with the nearest park or open area just 260 metres away on average, it's genuinely one of the greener patches in the wider area.
On cost, rents here are fairly typical for Milton Keynes. A two-bedroom comes in at around £1,200 a month, roughly in line with the UK median for a two-bed, and a one-bedroom averages under £1,000.

Around 29% of homes are social rented, which is substantially above what you'd find in many South East neighbourhoods, sitting alongside roughly 49% owner-occupation and 18% private renting.
