Close to a third of Cambridge lives in a purpose-built flat and another third rents privately, both well above the county pattern. Newer housing has gone up steadily on the northern and eastern edges, and it is built to a standard the older terraces of Romsey and Petersfield were not.
Cambridge blends medieval college architecture with cutting-edge modern developments around the Biomedical Campus and the new communities of Trumpington and Eddington. Period homes in Newnham and the city centre require flooring that respects original proportions, while new-builds often feature open-plan layouts suited to contemporary finishes.
Engineered oak in natural and light-brushed finishes is the most popular choice across Cambridge, complementing the light-filled interiors that characterise many of the city’s homes. Herringbone parquet is a premium upgrade that works equally well in Victorian terraces and modern townhouses. Porcelain tiles in large formats are increasingly chosen for open-plan kitchen-living spaces.

30.6% of Cambridge's private housing stock predates 1919, against 23.5% for England as a whole, and terraces (42.1%) and semis (32.5%) make up three quarters of it. The Mill Road and De Freville terraces are suspended timber at ground level, often narrow, often with a level change to a rear extension — measure each part separately. Cambridge's 18 conservation areas include the Historic Core, Mill Road, De Freville and Newnham Croft, where original boards are protected and cannot simply be lifted. Darwin Green and Eddington are the opposite condition entirely: new screed with underfloor heating, where engineered wood is the correct construction and solid timber is not.
At the 2021 census, 35.0% of households in Cambridge lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 64.8% in a house or bungalow — 27.6% of all households in a terraced house.
