Hey MK locals!

I’m curious to hear your thoughts—if you had to pick, what would be your top 5 estates to live in Milton Keynes, and why? Whether it’s because of the schools, parks, local amenities, community vibe, or just the overall feel of the place, I’d love to know your picks!

I’m trying to get a better sense of the best places to settle down, so all opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Looking forward to your recommendations! 👀

Redhouse Park Oakridge Park Giffard Park Shenley Church End Willen Park

I've lived in MK for 35 years and this is my shortlist. I could probably add another 5 as well if asked 😎

Are there any good secondary schools in Oakridge Park?

Oakridge Park is a very small estate so doesn't have any schools. I'd probably say your best bet is Newport Pagnell (also Stantonbury but I wouldn't recommend there, they've not got a very good reputation unfortunately!) Hope this helps! 😎

Bancroft, Bancroft Park

I feel like Bancroft / Bancroft park is underrated. Partially because I live there but, it has great access, close to the a5, fairly close to the city centre, lots of walks, quite quiet as there's no pub or shops, concrete cows are a bonus.

Only thing that let's it down is the local school which I know is a deal breaker for a lot of people.

Kingsmead, best estate in MK. Also the smallest. No shops and or pubs

I love Medbourne, the beautiful woods, the Pavillion, and its quiet

There is only one Medbourne - the secret MK paradise estate that no-one in MK has ever heard of. (Not really paradise, just nice and quiet, you can walk around the woods and there is a big prison too with Charlie Bronson in it combing his moustache in between doing paintings and taking people hostage)

I live on one of the estates people would say avoid. I've got a Tesco and post office on my door step and I think in almost 3 years I've heard the police once in the estate and had zero anti social issues on my street.

While I know someone who lived on one of the estates people would recommend and had two right knob heads either side and ended up moving.

While different locations can increase the likelihood of problems untimely it comes down to the people on your street rather than the street you live.

Going to get a lot of hate when I say this as it’s not technically an estate Newport Pagnell.
