Green Park Village

Green Park Village is a housing development that constitutes the residential component of the Green Park development in Reading, Berkshire, adjacent to Green Park business park and a new railway station, Reading Green Park. When complete, it will have more than 1,300 new homes, including both apartments and "New-England" style houses, forming a new suburb of Reading. The housing surrounds South Lake, with a noticeably higher density on the west (railway station) side as compared to the earlier eastern side.^[1]
