About

Thorpe Astley is a modern residential suburb located to the east of Leicester's city centre. The area is characterised by extensive housing developments built from the late 1990s onwards, featuring a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. Its layout includes numerous cul-de-sacs and green spaces, with a large central park providing a focal point for the community. The design prioritises family living, with several schools and local shops situated within the estate.

The suburb is bounded by the A563 and is distinct from the neighbouring village of Braunstone. A notable local feature is the large ornamental lake at its heart, which is a habitat for waterfowl and is encircled by walking paths. Daily needs are served by a small precinct containing supermarkets and other essential retailers, creating a largely self-contained environment separate from the busier urban core.
