Less than 30 miles south of London, and home to Gatwick Airport, Crawley combines strong transport connections with open spaces and a dynamic local economy. From modern developments and suburban family homes, to access to the High Weald’s countryside, this fast-growing town offers buyers value, variety and convenience.
Crawley’s property market caters to a wide range of buyers, with neighbourhoods like Pound Hill, Worth and Maidenbower especially sought-after for their community feel, larger homes, and access to well-rated schools. Closer to the town centre, you'll find Victorian terraces, post-war semis, and new-build apartments that appeal to professionals and first-time buyers. Outlying villages such as Ifield, Pease Pottage and Copthorne offer a more rural lifestyle, while still benefiting from Crawley’s transport links and breadth of amenities.
The town centre has seen significant investment in recent years, with shopping centres, entertainment venues, and a growing food scene contributing to Crawley’s appeal. Tilgate Park – with its lakes, gardens and wildlife centre – offers a green escape close to home, while the nearby High Weald AONB and South Downs National Park provide vast expanses and a wealth of outdoor pursuits.
Crawley is one of the best connected towns in the South East.
