Highway
Highway, in Maidenhead, is a well-established residential area that suits families, professionals and commuters alike. Across its neighbourhoods, you'll find falling crime rates, consistently good air quality and strong school options, including several Outstanding-rated primaries like St Luke's CofE and Furze Platt Junior, alongside Newlands Girls' School. Healthcare provision is solid too, with multiple GP practices and dentists spread across the area. House prices vary depending on where you look: Cox Green offers more affordable detached homes from £720,000, while Oldfield commands a premium at over £1.06 million for similar properties, with Pinkneys Green and St Mary's sitting in between at £804,000 to £938,000.
Transport is a mixed picture. Boyn Hill and Oldfield benefit from direct rail access, including the Elizabeth line, putting central London within easy reach, while Cox Green, Pinkneys Green and Belmont lean more heavily on car ownership, with good road links via the A404 and M4. St Mary's strikes a middle ground with bus links and a cycleway alongside motorway access. Wherever you settle, a car proves useful, though it's not always essential. Notably, a large proportion of residents across these neighbourhoods work from home, reflecting the area's appeal to those wanting flexible working lifestyles alongside family-friendly surroundings.
Daily life here is comfortable and convenient, with pubs, convenience stores, parks and sports facilities commonly found on the doorstep, even if wider shopping and dining mean a short trip into Maidenhead itself. Green space is a recurring theme, from Cox Green's three parks to the sports facilities in Oldfield, and living costs generally stay close to the UK average thanks to manageable transport and grocery bills. Altogether, Highway offers a settled, safe and practical base, with enough variation between its neighbourhoods to suit a range of budgets and lifestyles.
