Discover what it is like to live in a Renaissance community through the stories of those who live there.

 

We love getting to know our Renaissance homeowners and tenants whilst listening to their stories on what led them to move into their new homes. Each story is unique to their lives and the journeys they have taken, however, the one common theme is that they are happy with their decision. 

 

From our communities in coastal Dorset, to those in villages and market towns in Surrey, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, below you'll find a selection of the stories from across our Renaissance communities.
