New Homes in Wolverhampton

Historically part of Staffordshire, Wolverhampton lies on the fringes of the West Midlands. Just seven miles west of Walsall, you’ve also got spots like Birmingham, West Bromwich and Sutton Coldfield nearby when you choose new  houses in Wolverhampton.

Despite rising to prominence during the Industrial Revolution, the city retains plenty of green spaces in and around town. They include West Park, Wightwick Manor and Baggeridge Country Park, while the 50-hectare Smestow Valley reserve offers great trails for bike rides, walks and bird watching. You can explore and learn more about our new homes in Wolverhampton below.
