Meir splits neatly in two. Old Meir, around the crossroads and the historic Meir aerodrome site, is classic Potteries terraced stock at some of the city's friendliest prices. Meir Park, south of the A50, is a different world: modern detached and semi-detached family homes built from the 1980s on.
Together they make the ST3 corridor one of the busiest parts of our market — first-time buyers one side, growing families the other.
Living there
Meir Park families get the retail park, Tesco Extra and well-kept greens within pram distance, plus catchment for popular primaries. Old Meir suits buyers and investors after maximum house for minimum money, with the park and hollow giving green space between.
