Southcrest

Southcrest is a residential neighbourhood in the southern part of Redditch, Worcestershire. The area is made up mainly of terraced and semi-detached housing with pockets of council-built homes, served by a small parade of shops, a primary school and a community centre. Regular local bus services link Southcrest with Redditch town centre and the railway station, making commuting and access to wider services straightforward. Streets are laid out with small front gardens and rear yards, and many properties were constructed to meet mid‑20th century housing needs.

A public recreation ground sits within the neighbourhood and provides a children's play area, marked football pitch and space for informal recreation, while tree-lined residential streets give direct access to nearby walking routes. Community groups use the hall for clubs and events, and local convenience stores form a focus for day-to-day life. The combination of local amenities, regular transport links and the recreation ground shapes how residents use and move around Southcrest.
