Is Burgess Hill a nice place to live?

Burgess Hill is a fast-growing town, ideal for commuters, families and older residents. Located at the edge of the South Downs National Park, it’s the perfect place for anyone who wants to combine the convenience of town living with outdoor pursuits, such as cycling, horse riding, and dog walking around the fabulous countryside.

Two mainline stations – Burgess Hill and Wivelsfield – offer frequent and fast services to London, the stunning south coast, and the bohemian market town of Lewes. Burgess Hill is great for commuters as the majority of the town is within walking distance of a station. The rest of the world is also within reach, thanks to Burgess Hill’s proximity to Gatwick Airport via the A23, just a few minutes’ drive away.

There are some good schools here, both state and private. There are a fantastic range of properties to choose from too, from well-appointed modern homes to unique older properties with generous gardens and parking. The town has recently seen huge investment for housing and facilities, with a number of new developments on the horizon or currently underway.

St Johns Park, Burgess Hill Golf Centre and Plumpton Race Course are all within easy reach, while families will love Bedelands Nature Reserve and the Triangle Leisure Centre with indoor/outdoor rapids and soft play areas.
