Location Benefits and Local Services

Whitehouse Park benefits from established local educational facilities. Whitehouse Primary School is located on-site, approximately 0.3 miles from the development. The newly opened secondary school, Watling Academy, is located nearby and holds an Ofsted rating of 'Outstanding'. Additionally, the Whitehouse Health Centre is situated close to the development.

In terms of transport infrastructure, the location is strategically placed for commuters. Milton Keynes Central (CMK) train station is approximately 2.7 miles away (or an 8-minute drive). Direct rail services from CMK run to London Euston in approximately 35 minutes and to Birmingham New Street. Road links are excellent, with immediate access to the A5 trunk road and Junction 14 of the M1 motorway, which is reached via the A509. Luton Airport is 26 miles distant. For local travel, a direct bus service runs from CMK station, taking around 9 minutes to reach a stop at Crownhill Roundabout South.

Local amenities are currently developing. While nearby local convenience stores are available, and a Sainsbury’s supermarket is located two miles away, recent reports from February 2024 indicate a current lack of a central, local shop for staple goods or a community centre within the immediate Whitehouse Park estate. Broader retail, dining, and leisure facilities are available a short drive away at The Hub, The Kingston Centre (Tesco Extra), and the extensive Centre:MK shopping complex. Local leisure includes on-site parkland and proximity to Willen Lake and Ouse Valley Park.
