New homes Essex
Essex offers the vibrant hum of Chelmsford, the UK’s newest city, to the historical majesty of ‘Britain’s First City’, Colchester, not to mention that it's home to the world’s longest pleasure pier at Southend. There really is so much diversity in one place.
Bordering London, Essex is well served by rail and road, with two international airports and two globally connected ports, it's easy to see why so many call Essex home.
