The first residents are set to move into a new affordable housing development in Littlemore following the completion of the first phase of Keepers Place. A ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday 24 June marked the handover of the first 29 homes at the Railway Lane development.
Once complete, Keepers Place will deliver 90 affordable homes, including one and two-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom houses, and larger three, four and five-bedroom family homes. Of these, 47 will be available for social rent, with a further 43 offered through shared ownership, helping more people onto the housing ladder in one of the UK’s least affordable cities.
Built on the site of a former oil depot, the development is transforming a long-derelict brownfield site into a sustainable new neighbourhood. The remaining phases of Keepers Place are due to be completed by early 2027.
