Green Park Village is one of Reading's most distinctive new neighbourhoods, set beside the calm of Longwater Lake and surrounded by green space. From its New England-inspired homes to its lakeside setting, this thoughtfully planned development offers a rare mix of charm and convenience, just minutes from central Reading.
Tucked into the southern edge of Reading, within RG2, Green Park Village is ideally located for access to the town centre, the M4, and key employment hubs like Green Park Business Park and Thames Valley Park. It sits between Whitley and Shinfield, with its own train station and primary school at the heart of the community.
Green Park Village isn't just another housing development. Built by St Edward Homes (part of the Berkeley Group) from 2015 and now fully completed, it was designed with a clear vision. The result is a blend of architectural character and community-first living, with timber-clad facades, steep gables, and lakeside boardwalks that echo New Hampshire and coastal New England villages.
This design detail, combined with generous green space and wide boulevards, makes it feel more like a private village than part of a busy commuter town.
At the centre of the development, you'll find:
Green Park Village Primary School (Ofsted-rated Good) Green Park Village Primary Academy
Tesco
Trim trails, open parkland, and walking paths around the lake
Quick access to Green Park Business Park with further cafés and fitness studios
