Bradgate Heights

Bradgate Heights sits on Leicester's edge and brings together a set of neighbourhoods that share a strong family-friendly character: good schools, low and falling crime, and easy access to everyday amenities like GPs, dentists, supermarkets and parks. Across the area, you'll find consistently well-rated primary and secondary schools, from Beaumont Lodge and Babington Academy to Newtown Linford Primary and the Outstanding-rated Woodhouse Eaves, making this a sound choice for anyone prioritising education. Air quality is good throughout, and living costs, particularly transport and groceries, tend to run below the national average. House prices vary considerably depending on which part of Bradgate Heights you look at. Beaumont Leys offers the most affordable entry point, with terraces around £194,000 and semis at £232,000, while Anstey and Groby sit in the middle of the market. Glenfield Faire commands a premium, with detached homes averaging £429,000, and Forest Bradgate sits at the top end, where detached properties average £895,000, reflecting its appeal to families wanting space alongside top-tier schools. Rothley Brook and Forest Bradgate both see detached and semi-detached homes command higher prices than their neighbours, driven by demand for extra space. Transport is a mixed picture across the suburb. Most neighbourhoods are car-dependent, with good access to the A46 and M1 corridor supporting commuters, though bus links into Leicester city centre serve areas like Beaumont Leys and Anstey well. Rothley Brook stands out with its own train station, making it the easiest option for commuters who'd rather not drive. Remote working is clearly popular too, with over a quarter of residents in Anstey and nearly a third in Glenfield Faire working from home. Altogether, Bradgate Heights offers a settled, well-policed environment with strong schools and green space throughout, giving buyers a genuine choice between affordability, village charm and premium family homes depending on which neighbourhood suits them best.
