DH is staring a new a job in Cambridge near the main train station, and I'm a SAHM; 8yo DD has a place at Sancton Wood school in September.
We're partial to new builds though ideally by smaller firms. Which semi-detached house would you pick?

What does everyone think of the larger developments like Trumpington Meadows, Aura, Ninewells and Redrow Homes (Sanderson Manor)?
Is it the case that the land under Sanderson Manor was contaminated with chemicals from the factory that was on it before?
Does this article about Trumpington being a 'dumping ground for problem families' ring true? (www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/trumpington-is-dumping-ground-for-problem-families-says-county-councillor-9072195/)
We have been around all the above and all neighbourhoods appear quiet and nice.
