Our newest homes in Watford Riverwell

Block 10 of the Watford Riverwell scheme has reached practical competition – and we were there to celebrate and take a look around.

The homes, built in partnership with Kier Property and Watford Borough Council, were handed over to us in September 2025. 

The block includes our 12 high-quality, three-bedroom homes for social rent, and marks the completion of Avenues Phase 1 – just one of a series of residential phases in this project delivering much-needed social housing to Watford.

This £500m flagship regeneration scheme continues to make strong progress, with further phases of housing and infrastructure underway. Once complete, the 70-acre development will bring close to 1,000 new homes, commercial space, a hotel, retail and leisure facilities – regenerating West Watford into a vibrant, sustainable neighbourhood.

Penny Metcalf, Group Director of Partnerships and Investment at Watford Community Housing, said:

“Our mission is to meet the needs of our communities and that starts with affordable housing. 

"The delivery of these homes at Watford Riverwell represents a vital opportunity for local people to find somewhere to live that is secure and sustainable, and we look forward to welcoming our new residents.”
