Introducing Parkside Watford: combining affordable home ownership with healthy living

19 February 2024

Thrive Homes has unveiled the first of its stunning new homes on St Albans Road in Garston, Watford. This new community, named Parkside Watford, represents a beacon of opportunity for aspiring homeowners, making the dream of owning a home a reality for those who once deemed it unattainable.

Featuring a range of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments, Parkside Watford promises residents a vibrant, green, and well-connected living environment. At its core lies a commitment to 100% affordability, paving the way for individuals to ascend the property ladder with ease.

The Shared Ownership affordable model empowers residents to take charge of their housing finances while ensuring security, equity, and stability. By enabling customers to purchase a share of the property with a modest deposit and mortgage, supplemented by rent on the remaining portion, this approach opens doors for first-time buyers, those navigating a concurrent sale, and those re-entering the housing market.

Parkside Watford goes beyond traditional housing developments to promote a healthy living and lifestyle. With its extensive communal gardens, vegetable patches, play area, and adjacent to local parks, residents are encouraged to embrace outdoor activities, fostering an active and balanced lifestyle.

This vibrant new destination offers a sustainable gateway into London, with excellent rail and bus connections, whilst closer to home boasting amenities such as 20% EV charging points in parking spaces, a communal car club, and secure cycle storage. Complementing these eco-conscious features, Parkside apartments flaunt an impressive EPC rating of 'B,' not only promoting sustainability but also helping residents reduce their energy usage.

Each home within Parkside Watford exudes contemporary elegance, featuring integrated kitchen appliances and ample outdoor space via balconies, terraces, and communal courtyards. With open-plan layouts, stylish fittings, and an emphasis on natural light, these apartments offer a harmonious blend of modern living and comfort.

Alix Green, Executive Director – Investment & Growth at Thrive Homes, said:

“I am immensely proud to introduce Parkside Watford—a testament to our unwavering commitment to affordable, sustainable, and community-focused housing solutions. With its quality design, green spaces, and emphasis on promoting healthy lifestyles, Parkside Watford embodies our vision of providing homes where people can thrive."
