Bringing Stylish and Sustainable Homes to the Heart of Cambridge City Centre

The Hill Group

The Cambridge Investment Partnership has unveiled its latest development in south-east Cambridge, City Reach - a stunning collection of 84 new homes, comprising one and two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom homes, including 45 affordable homes for the local community. Created through an equal partnership between Cambridge City Council and The Hill Group, this new residential development lives up to its name, situated within easy reach of Cambridge's vibrant city centre.

Offering residents the best of both worlds, the development is close to a diverse mix of independent shops, cafes and restaurants along Mill Road and the leafy neighbourhood of Coleridge close by. City Reach features thoughtfully designed one and two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom houses, appealing to working professionals, growing families and downsizers alike. Following the launch on 28 February, buyers will have the exciting opportunity to secure their very own home in this verdant corner of Cambridge's iconic cityscape.

Designed with a focus on sustainable living, City Reach offers the perfect blend of metropolitan vibrancy and calming green spaces. With cycle-friendly routes across the city, close proximity to Cambridge Railway Station, and excellent public transport links, City Reach places the region's thriving economy and outstanding career opportunities right on your doorstep.

Rebecca Littler, Group Sales & Marketing Director at The Hill Group, comments: “We are thrilled to launch City Reach through our long-standing partnership with Cambridge City Council. City Reach represents our shared commitment to creating homes that serve Cambridge's diverse community, from young professionals starting out to families putting down roots and those looking to downsize. We're proud to offer a range of beautifully designed homes that will give residents a place to truly call home in this world-class city.”

The homes at City Reach have been designed with modern living in mind. Apartments and terraced houses feature private outside spaces, providing the perfect spot to unwind while taking in views of the surrounding natural landscape. Inside, layouts have been carefully considered to maximise space and create homes that balance flexibility with comfort. Kitchens come fully equipped with integrated appliances and elegant finishes, including Caesarstone worktops and LED feature lighting, giving a refined touch to everyday living. Each home meets ambitious environmental standards, including triple-glazed windows, EV charging points and bicycle parking for residents and their guests.

Landscaped communal gardens will weave around the homes, creating a flourishing green space to enjoy. Featuring informal lawns, tree planting, a children's play area and a central courtyard, these flexible outdoor spaces will include wildflower-lined paths and raised beds for communal vegetable gardening. Residents will also have direct access to Coleridge Recreation Ground and views overlooking the spacious park, with sports pitches and a playground nearby. For those seeking more outdoor adventures, the River Cam lies just a few minutes' walk away, offering peaceful pathways perfect for morning runs or afternoon strolls with friends.

City Reach's central location makes it ideal for commuting across Cambridge and beyond.
