About

Maidenbower is a modern residential ward in the northeast of Crawley, developed primarily from the 1990s onward. The area is characterised by its planned layout of housing estates, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. It functions largely as a commuter settlement, with many residents travelling to nearby Gatwick Airport or London for work. Local amenities are centred around a parade of shops and a supermarket serving daily needs.

The ward contains several large recreational spaces, including the expansive Three Bridges Park with its playing fields and wooded areas. A distinctive feature is the presence of the historic Worth Forest along its eastern boundary, providing walking trails and a contrast to the newer development. Maidenbower also has its own railway station, offering direct Thameslink services, which underscores its transport connections.
