Open Homes workspaceAbout Bracknell
Bracknell was a small Berkshire market village until it was designated a New Town in 1949 to help house London's growing post-war population. It was planned and built through the mid-20th century with distinct residential neighbourhoods, employment areas and green spaces, and became a centre for technology and business — the Met Office was based here for many years. In recent years Bracknell's town centre has been extensively regenerated with the Lexicon shopping district. Surrounded by woodland such as Swinley Forest and close to the M3 and M4, Bracknell offers modern housing and steady rental demand across the RG12 and RG42 postcodes.
