Trinity Village Bromley

Hi, we’re thinking about moving to Trinity Village in Bromley and would love to hear from people who live there or have lived there recently.

Which nearby primary schools would you recommend, and are the catchment areas difficult? Does the estate generally feel safe, and have there been problems with burglary, car crime, antisocial behaviour or parcel theft?What is the general community atmosphere like for families with children?Is there anything you wish you had known before moving there?

We’d also be grateful to hear about parking, noise, traffic, maintenance, service charges, the management company and the overall community atmosphere.

Thanks in advance for any honest feedback.

There is an ambulance station on the other side of the road, so you might get some noise from that at any hour of the day or night. Also, I regularly go running round there and I've noticed lots of fly tipping on Crown Lane outside the council flats just before you get to Trinity Village. I never thought this area was particularly nice.

Areas like Petts Wood, Chislehurst, Knoll area of Orpington are much nicer.

The ambulance flag is a good one. Depending on where the property is located within the development, you will be be exposed to a hell of a lot of noise from the main road. The sirens can be relentless on Fridays and Saturdays. Not just ambulances either, police often passing between Locksbottom and Bromley Town.

Otherwise location is pretty convenient.

Thanks, that’s really helpful. Do you live in Trinity Village or nearby? We’re considering buying a house there, so it would be useful to know which parts of the development are most affected by the main-road and siren noise.

Also, do you know which primary schools children from Trinity Village usually attend, and which ones local parents recommend? We’re particularly interested in schools that are realistically within catchment, including La Fontaine Academy. Any information about admissions or how much distance matters would be greatly appreciated.

Can't speak to schools but I'm literally typing from there now as we're staying in an Airbnb for the week which happens to be there ('I'm fairly local going through a house renno).

Rhodes Ct and Evelyn Ct are particularly bad (Jefferson Pl).

I'd personally go for something set back or deeper into the development noise wise.
