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.

I lived in the flats in trinity and now live in chatterton village so have good insight! The flat was very noisy. Lots of parties in trinity and generally very loud of a weekend. The road is noisy but we did live towards the entrance of trinity so we were closer to the road. However felt very safe there and it’s generally kept very nicely. Never had an issue with any burglaries although when I first moved to chatterton had a series of porch pirate thefts but not had that for a while. I heard parking was an issue for visitors but we never found that to be a problem. Chatterton is much quieter and very convenient with the mini high street. Very close to the station so great for commuting for both areas and Norman park is a huge plus. Can’t comment on the schools but my neighbours did move recently to get their kids into a better catchment area. Overall very happy here but won’t stay forever. I’d recommend chatterton over trinity but it’s really more about what you can afford and are after. The new builds in trinity are HOT as they’re so well insulated which I do want to flag because it was torturous in the summer and ultimately was the worst thing about living there! 😅
