Where Nature Meets Neighbourhood: Life at Green Park

22nd May 2025

A vibrant, green community is blossoming just south of Reading town centre — Green Park Village offers a unique blend of lakeside living, family-friendly housing, fantastic schools, and unbeatable transport links, all with Reading’s top business park right next door. 

Elegant Homes in a Scenic Lakeside Setting

Set around a stunning central lake and surrounded by 60 acres of parkland, Green Park Village is a thoughtfully designed neighbourhood with a distinctly New England feel. Pastel-hued clapboard houses line quiet streets, offering three and four-bedroom family homes with parking. Modern one and two-bedroom apartments, many with lake views, are also available in Bankside Gardens, while an over-50s assisted living community adds to the inclusive, multi-generational appeal. 

Everything You Need, Right on Your Doorstep

Green Park Village has everything a modern lifestyle demands. The community includes shops, a residents’ gym, playgrounds for children, and a brand-new primary school. Residents also benefit from access to Green Park Business Park just next door, which offers restaurants, outdoor gyms, scenic lakes, and a busy calendar of community events. From relaxed weekend walks to the buzz of summer festivals, there’s always something happening just a short stroll away. 

Green Park Village is uniquely positioned alongside Green Park Business Park, a thriving commercial hub that is home to over 60 companies, including global names like Thales, Bayer, Virgin Media, AWE, and Three. For many new residents, this could mean the shortest and easiest commute they’ll ever have — just a short walk through the park. 

Top-Tier Schools and Education Options

Families living in Green Park Village have access to some of the best schools in the area. Alongside the new on-site primary school, the location is within easy reach of two of the top-performing state grammar schools in the country. There are also excellent academies and a range of respected independent schools, making this an ideal place to raise a family focused on academic achievement. 

Unbeatable Transport Connections

With the opening of Green Park Station, commuting has never been easier. Regular rail services take you into Reading in 8 minutes, so you can get to London in just over 30 minutes via the Elizabeth Line or GWR mainline! Green Park also sits conveniently near the M4, and a strong local bus network provides easy access around Reading and beyond. Whether you're heading into town for excellent restaurants, shops and arts venues; to the university; the Royal Berkshire Hospital; or further afield, it’s all within reach.

Lakes, Woodland, and Endless Green Space

What truly sets Green Park apart is its natural setting. From peaceful lakeside paths and manicured parkland to nearby woodlands and the Kennet & Avon Canal, it’s a haven for walkers, runners, and anyone who enjoys the outdoors. The River Thames is just eight minutes away by train, offering even more options for weekend adventures or relaxing after work. 

A New Chapter for Life in Reading

Reading is regularly ranked among the top ten places to live in the South East by The Sunday Times, praised for its connectivity, educational options, and strong community life. With the arrival of Green Park Village, new arrivals in Reading now have the chance to enjoy all the town has to offer in a fresh, modern environment designed for today’s families and professionals.
