Forge Wood

RH10 2 / RH10 3 / RH6 0 / RH6 9

Up-and-comingFamily-friendly

Crawley's newest neighbourhood, still being built on the north-eastern edge near the M23. It is essentially a large new-build estate of detached and semi-detached houses aimed at families. The houses are modern, relatively spacious, and come with garages and gardens. A new primary school has been built to serve the development. It feels quite separate from the rest of Crawley, almost like a private estate. If you want a new-build family house near Gatwick with easy motorway access, this is the pitch.
