Broadfield is a largely residential neighbourhood to the south of Crawley in West Sussex, created largely during the post‑war new town expansion and made up of a mix of council and private housing, local shops and green spaces. Its location gives relatively easy access to employment and travel hubs, lying not far from Gatwick Airport and the Manor Royal business area, so many residents commute while still enjoying quieter streets and nearby parks.
Locally there’s a strong community feel, with a community centre, sports facilities and the nearby Broadfield Stadium, which brings matchday activity and a sense of identity; local groups and regeneration projects have also been active in recent years. The area combines that post‑war planned layout with modern pressures and opportunities, making it a place of contrasts between suburban everyday life and easy links to larger economic centres.
