Hartrigg Oaks is the first example in the UK of a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), developed by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust. On a 21-acre site in York, 152 bungalows are clustered around a central complex containing amenities, including a library, cafe and restaurant, and a residential care home known as ‘The Oaks’. As a CCRC, Hartrigg Oaks is designed to provide a housing option for older people in which they may live independently for many years. At any given point in time, most of the residents in Hartrigg Oaks will be living largely, or wholly, independent lives. The extensive care and support services provided at Hartrigg Oaks are primarily designed to allow its residents to remain in their bungalows. Should their care needs become more pronounced they can remain on the Hartrigg Oaks site within ‘The Oaks’ registered care home, which offers both interim and permanent care. Hartrigg Oaks is financed through an insurance based model, residents pay into a communal financial pool through an annual fee. The care and support services that Hartrigg Oaks provides are then financed through this pool. Through using this approach, residents can be offered the option of paying an annual fee that will not increase according to their use of care services.

New forms of high-density, affordable housing are often advocated as a response to current policy concerns related to housing shortages, containing suburban sprawl, and the desire to promote an 'urban renaissance' in some cities. This study explored residents' views about living in new affordable higher density housing and how far residents' expectations of living in high-density developments were met.
