Sitting to the east of Leicester city centre, New Humberstone is a residential neighbourhood that forms part of the broader urban fabric of the city. It lies in close proximity to the older settlement of Humberstone, from which it takes its name, and is surrounded by the kind of low-density housing typical of Leicester’s inner and middle-ring suburbs. Local streets connect to the wider road network, giving residents straightforward access into the city and to neighbouring communities across the east side of Leicester.
The Surrounding Area
The neighbourhood sits within a part of Leicester where residential streets meet local amenities and community facilities. Humberstone Park is nearby, offering open green space to residents in this part of the city. The area borders other established neighbourhoods, and the general character is one of settled, largely terraced and semi-detached housing that grew up over the course of the twentieth century as Leicester expanded outward from its Victorian core.
