Orchard Park Estate

Orchard Park Estate is a residential development in Hull comprising four distinct village areas with a mix of two-story houses, terraced buildings, and semi-detached properties. The homes spread across the northern section of the city in an organized layout.

Construction began in 1963 as part of Hull's post-war rebuilding efforts following the destruction of thousands of homes during World War II. The development arose to help the city recover and house its growing population.

The estate population of 4,600 residents maintains regular neighborhood events throughout the year, fostering connections within the local community.

You can walk through the different village areas to explore the various housing styles and see how the neighborhoods differ. Pedestrian pathways are generally well-marked throughout the estate.

The estate follows an innovative Radburn-inspired planning design that separates pedestrian paths from vehicle traffic throughout the development. This layout approach makes the area safer and quieter for people on foot.
