Estates
With the establishment of the new town, the area was arranged into estates, primarily with a designator of the part of the town in which the estate was to be found.
The estates are:
- Northburn (constructed between the late 1980s and the 1990s)
- Eastfield (constructed primarily in the late 1970s with an estate added in the mid-1990s)
- Westwood (constructed in the early 1980s)
- Southfield (constructed in the early 1970s)
- Southfield Gardens (constructed in the early 2000s)
- Mayfield (partially existing prior to the new town designation but with addition building in the late 1960s)
- Whitelea (one of the earliest of the new town estates, constructed in the late 1960s and early 1970s)
- Barns Park (constructed in the 1970s)
- Parkside (constructed in the 1970s)
- Beacon Hill (constructed in the 1970s)
- Beacon Lea (constructed in the 1970s)

Famous quotes containing the word estates:
“The Sun shone whole at intervals--/Then Half--then utter hid--/As if Himself were optional/And had Estates of Cloud/Sufficient to enfold Him/Eternally from view--”
—Emily Dickinson (1831–1886)
“No man, however benevolent, liberal, and wise, can use a large fortune so that it will do half as much good in the world as it would if it were divided into moderate sums and in the hands of workmen who had earned it by industry and frugality. The piling up of estates often does great and conspicuous good.... But no man does with accumulated wealth so much good as the same amount would do in many hands.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I hate the noise and hurry inseparable from great Estates and Titles, and look upon both as blessings that ought only to be given to fools, for ‘tis only to them that they are blessings.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
