Celebrating Community: New Homes Week 2025 with Gecko Homes
Building More Than Homes. Creating Thriving Communities
New Homes Week 2025 is here, and this year’s theme ‘Community’ is one works well for us at Gecko. We don’t just build houses; we create spaces where people want to live.. This week is all about celebrating the strong sense of community that comes with new developments and the lasting benefits they bring to local areas.
Homes in the heart of communities
At Gecko Homes, we’re proud to build in vibrant, well-connected areas where residents can enjoy not just a beautiful home but also a welcoming neighbourhood. Our unique developments in Manchester suburbs such as Chorlton, Sale, Urmston, Levenshulme and Didsbury offer modern, high-quality homes in places where people truly feel at home.
But for us, community isn’t just about bricks and mortar, it’s about connection, culture and shared experiences. That’s why we actively invest in the communities we build in, ensuring they thrive long after the last home is sold.
Our commitment to local culture and sport
We believe a strong community is built on shared passions and local pride. That’s why we are a key partner of The Chorlton Arts Festival, playing an integral role in 2024 and returning to support this fantastic event in 2025. The festival showcases the incredible creative talent within the area, bringing people together through art, music, and performance.
And that’s not all! Keep your eyes peeled for an exciting new sports partnership with one of Chorlton’s biggest junior football clubs. Sport has a unique way of uniting people, and we’re thrilled to be playing our part in supporting young talent and fostering a sense of teamwork and belonging.

Why buy a new build home?
If you’re considering buying a home, a new build property comes with a range of benefits that make it an excellent investment. Here are five key reasons why buying new is a smart choice:
New build homes are designed to be more energy-efficient than older properties. With better insulation, modern heating systems, and high-performance windows, you’ll benefit from lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Many new homes also come with solar panels and heat pumps, helping you save even more (just check out Unicorn Quarter in Eccles for proof of that).
Older homes often come with hidden costs, whether it’s fixing a leaking roof, upgrading an outdated boiler, or rewiring electrics. With a new build home, everything is brand new and built to the latest standards, meaning you can move in with no worries about costly repairs.
One of the best things about buying new is that you can personalise your home from day one. Create a space that suits your style, decorate how you want and create your very own style, one of the many perks of buying through Shared Ownership.
New build developments are designed with community in mind, featuring:
- Safe, well-planned layouts with pedestrian-friendly streets.
- Modern amenities, from shops to schools, within easy reach
- Like-minded neighbours moving in at the same time, fostering a strong community spirit from day one.
- Green spaces & parks for residents to enjoy.

Shared OwershipInvesting in the Future
New developments do more than provide homes, they create jobs, improve infrastructure, and support local businesses. Whether it’s new schools, better transport links, or green spaces, we’re committed to making sure our developments bring lasting benefits to the areas we work in.
This New Homes Week, we’re celebrating the real value of new developments. Not just in providing quality housing but in helping communities flourish.
