Vicars Cross is a quaint location with every resident providing a great neighbourhood, friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Overall the area is very sought after in Chester, due to being close to Chester train station and the close transport links on the M53.

Being close to the banks of the Shropshire Union Canal Main Line is great for family walks or bike rides into Chester City Centre. There are various large superstores in all directions as well as local shops and restaurants. Various pre-schools, Primary, High and International Schools are within the area.
