New Homes in the West Midlands

Bordered by Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire with Shropshire nearby, the West Midlands is a landlocked county and a region in its own right. New homes in the West Midlands are always popular, thanks to their proximity to major cities such as Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Coventry. 

There are still lots of pleasant open spaces to enjoy though, such as Sandwell Valley Country Park and the sprawling Sutton Park; favoured by walkers, joggers, cyclists and anglers. Visit the local museums and art galleries, stop off at a castle or cathedral, then shop at the Bullring. You can do all that and more when you choose from our developments in the West Midlands

Things to see and do in the West Midlands

From UNESCO World Heritage Sites to Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a collection of vibrant towns and cities packed with great cultural attractions, the West Midlands is full of great ways to spend your time. If you love exploring open landscapes, don’t miss the Peak District, Shropshire Hills and Cannock Chase, or the Malvern Hills and the Wye Valley. 

The Ironbridge Gorge is another top place to visit, while the River Severn promises lots of lovely walks as you follow its long and winding path from the Cambrian Mountains in Mid Wales into England and down to the Bristol Channel. Little ones will love a trip to Cadbury World, while museums, art galleries and cathedrals are features of places like Birmingham and Coventry. 

Education

As the beating heart of the West Midlands, it should come as no surprise that Birmingham is a hotbed of the region’s top educational choices. The second city is home to many of the West Midlands’ best schools while Walsall and Stratford are also noted for their strength in this department. We know how important it is for families to be close to good schools, so our new houses in the West Midlands are usually close to great options. Even if they’re not, you may find our new developments are the driving force behind new schools being built. 

Transport links in the West Midlands

The West Midlands county area has the most concentrated transport links within the region. The West Midlands Metro system is a highlight of this, which is an ever-expanding tram network connecting major towns and cities like Wolverhampton, West Bromwich and Birmingham to each other. 

Development is underway to include Birmingham Airport on this service, while places in the north of the West Midlands region may be closer to Manchester Airport and those in the south to Bristol. The M6 is the most notable motorway that passes through the region, which also offers lots of bus and rail routes - including trains to London from some places which take around an hour. 

The West Midlands property market

The West Midlands has a vibrant property scene which caters for all kinds of tastes and budgets, with house prices a little higher than the neighbouring East Midlands. They’re even higher than the North West, with Warwickshire the most expensive county in the region and Staffordshire the least. 

Whether you’re interested in city centre apartment, a 3 bedroom home on the outskirts of Tamworth or a family detached house in the Warwick or Cannock areas, we’ve always got some exciting new sites on the go in the West Midlands. And thanks to great offers like our Movemaker scheme, you could make a brilliant saving when you buy one of our expertly-designed new homes.
