About us

Since creating our first residential park home development in 1996, Tingdene Residential Parks has become one of the UK’s most respected residential park operators, renowned for quality and excellence.

Based in Northamptonshire, we specialise in developing distinctive park home communities for the retired and semi-retired. With 29 parks across the country, our homes are set in beautiful coastal, town and country locations, all within easy reach of essential amenities.

With over 30 years of expertise, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality homes and vibrant communities. Our parks are often compared to traditional villages, offering a friendly, close-knit atmosphere where you can connect with like-minded neighbours, all while enjoying the comfort and privacy of your own home and garden.

While expanding with exciting new developments, we remain committed to enhancing the wellbeing of our residents.

Our Vision

At Tingdene Residential Parks, we help shape vibrant, close‑knit communities where life feels effortlessly fulfilling. For over three decades, we’ve delivered residential parks designed for a new chapter in life, tailored for over‑45s who are ready for both the comfort and connection intrinsic to our parks.

Our approach is simple: every new development is thoughtfully planned to ensure the wellbeing of our residents and encourage them to embrace the beauty of natural surroundings – whether that be picturesque coastal stretches, tranquil countryside, or charming towns.

Grounded in long-term thinking and guided by sustainability and environmental care, we continually refine our parks, with each new success setting the stage for even bolder vision. In short: we don’t just create communities. We cultivate lifestyles – where every home feels like the start of a relaxed, inspiring chapter.

What we support

• Community initiatives: local events, skills programmes and projects that bring neighbours together.
• Charitable partnerships: long-term support where our teams can roll up their sleeves and help.
• Environmental commitments: site improvements, habitat projects and responsible operations.
• Team development: volunteering and fundraising led by our 200+ colleagues.

Rooted in our values of quality, integrity and innovation, our outreach is about creating opportunities, memorable experiences and connected communities wherever we operate.
