I have lived in the park for more than 34 years now. I moved from Orpington with my previous wife who really wanted to live in a residential park estate.
Unfortunately, we parted ways but I continued to live in the home. It is quiet and peaceful and I would advise everyone to try it. This area is great, there are lots of things to do around and amenities are quite close by as well.
I cannot imagine anyone not liking this lifestyle. I would say that it isn’t for young people with small children but then again, these parks are for the over 45’s.

Everything happens for a reason. I bought my park home in April 2018 and moved into the home in June 2018. I met David by chance as a friend in the park.
He offered to help me with decorating the home. I didn’t expect him to do that but it was very helpful.
I was born and brought up in Kent but had lived in Spain since 2001. My late husband wanted to live in Spain but sadly after we moved he didn’t have many months there.
My daughter suggested that I need to have a base in England which I thought was important as well
So I visited the park, absolutely loved the lifestyle, and decided to buy a home here. I still have my home in Spain so that the family can use it when visiting.

We absolutely love our life in Beckenham residential park. It is a close-knit family and we couldn’t imagine living anywhere else now.
