Eastbrook Village — A New Neighbourhood in Milton Keynes

Eastbrook Village is one of the largest new-build residential schemes currently under construction in the South-East, delivered by Berkeley Homes — the FTSE100 developer whose properties have grown by an average of 13.8% per year, roughly 5% above the wider local market. The 950-acre site is being built in partnership with Milton Keynes City Council and Homes England, with planning permission granted in February 2022 for approximately 4,600 homes across a phased build-out.

Phase 1A — now on release — comprises 194 homes, a mix of 1 and 2-bedroom apartments in the Beech Apartments building and 2, 3, 4 and 5-bedroom family houses across a range of Berkeley house types. First completions run from September–October 2026, with subsequent phases scheduled through 2027 and 2028.

The wider masterplan will include three primary schools, one secondary school, a Community/Health Hub, convenience store, local pub, sports pitches, community allotments, a Remembrance Garden and Later Living provision — with a district Centre already under construction alongside Elverby Primary School (scheduled to open in 2027).

Apartments & Houses at Eastbrook Village

The Beech Apartments are a three-storey collection of 17 homes with 999-year leases and estimated yields of 5.0–5.6%. One-bedroom apartments range from 546 to 590 sq ft and start at £260,000, with two-bedroom homes from 727 to 751 sq ft from £323,000. Every apartment comes with allocated parking and access to an EV charging point. Anticipated completion is Q1/Q2 2028; the payment structure is a £2,000 reservation fee, 10% on exchange (within 28 days), a further 10% at six months, and the remaining 80% on completion.

The houses are all freehold and range from 2-bedroom homes (The Alder, Hazel and Ash — from £372,000, 760–860 sq ft) to 3-bed (The Rowan and Birch — from £435,000, 915–994 sq ft), 4-bed (The Hawthorn, Damson, Oak, Pine and Poplar — from £555,000, 1,285–1,849 sq ft) and a 5-bed Redwood at £812,000 for 1,775 sq ft. Selected larger houses include a single or double garage; all homes include at least one parking space and an EV charging point.

Rental estimates published by Berkeley in August 2025 suggest £14,300–£16,900 per year for a 1-bed, rising to £31,200–£36,400 for a 5-bed. Milton Keynes ranks in the UK's top five for single-room rental prices, and the wider local yield sits at approximately 5.1%, well above the national average.

Milton Keynes — Why Buy Here

Milton Keynes was ranked the 2nd best place to live and work in the UK in 2025 (Lambert Smith Hampton Vitality Index), and is the fastest-growing city outside London. The local population is projected to almost double to 500,000 by 2050 as part of the city's published growth strategy, which sets out 46,000 new homes, major infrastructure investment and continued regeneration of Central Milton Keynes.

The local economy is anchored by a 45,000-strong tech workforce and major employers including Santander, Network Rail, Amazon, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Deloitte, Airbus, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Red Bull Racing — whose Formula 1 headquarters sits 12 minutes from Eastbrook Village. Active enterprises in the city have grown by more than 30% in the past five years, exceeding 12,500 businesses. GDP exceeds £16 billion and productivity is meaningfully above the UK average.

The city sits at the heart of the UK's Golden Triangle. London Euston is 32 minutes by train from Milton Keynes Central, Birmingham New Street is 50 minutes and Manchester Piccadilly is 1 hour 40 minutes. J14 of the M1 is 2 minutes' drive from the site. A new £1 billion motorway extension is set to link Milton Keynes directly with Cambridge, cutting journey times by more than a third.

Country Park, Schools & Community

A dedicated 160-acre country park runs through the heart of the development, connecting directly to Willen Lake — one of Milton Keynes' best-loved outdoor spaces, with 100 acres of open water for wakeboarding, sailing and open-water swimming, plus reed-lined paths, mini-golf and the UK's largest inflatable water obstacle course. Willen Lake is a 10-minute drive from Eastbrook Village.

89% of schools in Milton Keynes hold an Ofsted rating of "Good" or "Outstanding". Four new schools are planned for the site itself — Elverby Primary School is already complete and scheduled to open in 2027, joined by two further primary schools and a secondary school as the wider scheme delivers. Existing top-rated schools within a short drive include Brooklands Farm Primary (Outstanding, 2 miles), Walton High (Good, 2.3 miles), Broughton Manor Preparatory (Excellent, 1.7 miles) and Milton Keynes Preparatory (Excellent, 7.5 miles). Cranfield University is a 7-minute drive; Oxford and Cambridge are each about an hour by car, and King's College London and Imperial College are both reachable within 90 minutes from Milton Keynes Central.

Everyday amenities are all within the 15-minute neighbourhood — a Community/Health Hub, convenience store, local pub, sports pitches, three allotment sites, a variety of play areas, and Later Living provision for older residents.

The Berkeley Group Effect

Berkeley Group has been building placemaking developments in London, Birmingham and the South of England since 1976. Independent analysis shows Berkeley homes have appreciated by an average of 13.8% per year — roughly 5 percentage points above the wider local market — with similar regeneration schemes such as Beaufort Park, Battersea Reach and Grand Union all delivering material capital growth over and above their surrounding areas.

Berkeley is a proud FTSE100 constituent and a member of the NHBC — every home at Eastbrook Village is covered by a 10-year NHBC warranty. Estate charge is approximately £0.38 per sq ft; service charge on the Beech Apartments is approximately £2.62 per sq ft.
