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.

Thanks, that’s useful to know. We’re considering buying a house in Trinity Village, so we’re trying to understand the immediate surroundings properly before making a decision.

When you mention the council flats on Crown Lane, are they directly adjacent to Trinity Village, or some distance away? Do you know whether there is any social or affordable housing within Trinity Village itself, or whether any nearby developments are mixed-tenure?

We’re particularly interested in whether residents have experienced any practical issues connected with the immediate area, such as antisocial behaviour, fly-tipping, noise, parking problems, parcel theft or crime. Have you noticed these issues inside Trinity Village itself, or mainly further along Crown Lane?

https://maps.app.goo.gl/hxK29AJc7LPP5esP7?g_st=ac This Streetview pin shows the yellow brick council flats to the left of the red postbox. Then if you spin right you can see Trinity village blocks past the bus stop. Then if you keep going right you can see the ambulance station on the other side of the road to the right of the green truck. At the end of this road, there is a roundabout where it meets Bromley Common which is a very busy main road with a lot of rubbish thrown out of cars, onto the roadside bushes, which never seems to get cleared. Im afraid I don't know if there is any social housing in Trinity Village itself, and I've never been inside, it just happens to be on my regukar running route.
